Start quantity control is used during engine start to calculate a specific start quantity independently of the position of the accelerator pedal sensor (B37) if the coolant temperature is < 80°C and if the engine speed is < 500 RPM. The CDI control unit (N3/9) reads in the following information via the Controller Area Network bus Class C (engine compartment) (CAN-C) to do this:

Via a discrete line:

The CDI control unit uses the input signals to calculate the respective start quantity and controls the following components accordingly:

If the CDI control unit detects that the engine is running via the crankshaft Hall sensor and the message "Circuit 61 ON" and that the starting procedure has ended via the message "Circuit 50 ON", then the driver can control the injection quantity and thus the engine speed via the accelerator pedal sensor.
