Ignition system, general notes

NOTE:

Only the components which specifically relate to the ignition system are dealt with here. For the other components of the injection and ignition system. See FUEL INJECTION, GENERAL INFORMATION .
The engine control module is equipped with On Board Diagnostic (OBD).
Components marked with an asterisk (*) are checked via the On Board Diagnostic (OBD). See DTC MEMORY, CHECKING AND ERASING (SCAN TOOL FUNCTIONS 02 AND 05) .
For trouble -free operation of the electrical components a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary.
During some checks it is possible that the control module will recognize and store a malfunction. Therefore after completing all checks and repairs the DTC memory must be interrogated and if necessary erased. See DTC MEMORY, CHECKING AND ERASING (SCAN TOOL FUNCTIONS 02 AND 05) .
If the engine starts, runs for a short period and then stops, after troubleshooting, repairs or component tests, then the malfunction may lie with the immobilizer which is blocking the engine control module. The DTC memory must be interrogated and if necessary the control module matched. See ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, ADAPTING TO ELECTRONIC .
