Ignition OFF, function - GF07.10-P-1002OGA

ENGINE 642.8 in MODEL 207 as of 6/1/13, 212, 218 as of model year 2014 

Function requirements for ignition OFF, general points 

Ignition OFF, general points 

With ignition OFF, first the engine and then the engine timing are switched off in the CDI control unit (N3/9).

Function sequence for ignition OFF 

At ignition OFF the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) sends a signal over the interior CAN (CAN B) to the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1). The front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module switches off the ignition over the circuit 15 relay (N10/1kJ).

If the CDI control unit receives the "Circuit 15 OFF" signal over circuit 15 relay, the following components will be switched off and the processor power-down is started:

IMPORTANT On vehicles with code (U42) BlueTEC (SCR) diesel exhaust treatment, the run-on of the AdBlue® control unit (N118/5) is started. During the control unit run-on period, the remaining AdBlue® reduction agent is suctioned out of the AdBlue® pressure line. The AdBlue® metering valve (Y129) is opened at the same time so that no vacuum arises in the AdBlue® pressure line. The duration of the run-on and the timing of the reduction agent return are dependent on the exhaust temperature as detected by the temperature sensor upstream of the SCR catalytic converter (B16/15) since excessively hot exhaust can damage the AdBlue® pressure line and other system components.

The processor run-on period is determined by the CDI control unit and lasts about 4 s. It can, however, last for several minutes due to various functions (such as On-board Diagnosis (OBD), Drive Authorization System (DAS), thermal management).

When the processor power-down is finished, the engine circuit 87 relay (N101) is switched off and the engine timing system is disconnected from the on-board electrical system (switched off).

IMPORTANT System tests are conducted by the CDI control unit during the processor run-on period and the fault memory is updated.

The "circuit 31" ground connection is made from the on-board electrical system battery (G1) over the front right battery ground point (W10) and several ground lines to the right front wheel arch ground point (W3/1). When the ignition is OFF, the CDI control unit is supplied with power from the on-board electrical system battery via "circuit 30 fused".
