Function requirements for ignition ON, general points 

Ignition ON, general points 

With ignition ON, the engine timing in the CDI control unit (N3/9) is switched on and the engine prepared for starting.

Function sequence for ignition ON 

When the ignition is switched on, the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) forwards the on-board voltage from "circuit 30" to "circuit 15" over the circuit 15 relay (N10/1kJ).

If a voltage is present at the CDI control unit at "circuit 15", the engine circuit 87 relay (N10/1kN) is actuated by means of a ground signal. This causes the relay to close its power contact and the voltage is directed from "circuit 30" (downstream of respective fuses) as "circuit 87 M1" to the CDI control unit and to the corresponding sensors and actuators of the engine timing.

If a voltage is present at "circuit 87M1" the engine timing is switched on and an output stage driver in the CDI control unit applies actuation of the engine circuit 87 relay.

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 engine timing is switched on, the CDI control unit carries out the following functions:

IMPORTANT The messages for actuation of the engine diagnosis indicator lamp and the oil pressure warning lamp are received by the instrument cluster from the CDI control unit over chassis CAN 2, routed by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1), which receives the message on the chassis CAN 1 from the CDI control unit.
