Function requirements for the ignition system, general points 

Ignition system, general points 

A single-spark ignition coil is inserted directly into each cylinder. The ME-SFI [ME control unit (N310) reads in the following sensors and signals for the ignition system:

The requirements of the torque coordination function are also taken into account.

IMPORTANT For the following partial functions, ignition angle adjustment in the direction "retarded" or "advanced" takes place:

Function sequence for ignition system 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit interrupts the respective ignition coil (T1) at the moment of the ignition timing at the ground end of the primary circuit to "circuit 1".

Determination of the ignition angle takes place dependent on a characteristics map according to the input signals from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

IMPORTANT The ignition angles can be checked only with the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
