Ignition On, Function - GF07.10-P-1000OGR

ENGINE 642.8 in MODEL 166 up to model year 2016 

Function requirements for ignition ON, general points 

Ignition ON, general points 

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

Function sequence for ignition ON 

When the ignition is switched on, the on-board voltage is forwarded from "circuit 30" to "circuit 15" by the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73), the SAM control unit (N10) and via the circuit 15 relay (F58kR).

If a voltage is present at the CDI control unit at "circuit 15", the engine circuit relay 87M (F58kN) is actuated by means of a ground signal.

This causes the relay to close its power contact and the voltage of "circuit 30" is forwarded to the CDI control unit and the relevant sensors and actuators by the engine management as the "circuit 87" signal in accordance with the relevant fuses.

If a voltage is present at "circuit 87", the engine management is switched on and an output stage driver in the CDI control unit takes over further actuation of the circuit relay 87M. Ground connection "circuit 31" takes place by the on-board electrical system battery (G1) over the on-board electrical system battery ground point at the front right (W10) and over a number of ground lines to the ground point on the front right for the lamp unit (W2).

When the engine management is activated, the CDI control unit carries out the following functions:
