Body 

The housing of the CDI control unit is made of diecast aluminum and the cover is made of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The CDI control unit is water proof and dust proof.

The inside contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine management.

IMPORTANT

The CDI control unit has an internal atmospheric pressure sensor.

Ground connection 

The ground connection "circuit 31" is made over a number of ground lines to the front right ground point for lamp unit (W2).

Power supply 

The CDI control unit is supplied with power by "circuit 30 fused" and, with the ignition on, by "circuit 87". In the operating voltage range it has both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection. Power is supplied through several engaged parallel pins connected in parallel to relieve the electrical connections.

Variants 

The variants of the engine management, for exampled country and exhaust variants, are activated with XD over the variant coding.

IMPORTANT Assembly operations

Ensure before unplugging the connector on the CDI control unit that the ignition is switched off and processor run-on has ended. This is to prevent damage to the CDI control unit and save errors in the control units linked to the CAN.
