General notes on ignition system
♦ The battery must be disconnected only with ignition switched
off. If a coded radio is installed, ascertain code before discon‐
necting battery.
♦ Observe required procedures after connecting battery ⇒ Elec‐
trical system; Rep. gr. 27 ; Disconnecting and reconnecting
battery .
♦ For trouble-free operation of electrical components, a voltage
of at least 11.5 V is necessary.
♦ After completing work, read event memory of engine control
unit. Clear all events that may have been recorded while
checks and repairs were carried out. If the event memory was
cleared, the readiness code must be generated ⇒ Vehicle di‐
agnostic tester “Guided Functions”.
♦ If, after fault finding, repairs or component tests, the engine
starts, runs for a short period and then stops, then the fault
may be that the immobilizer is blocking the engine control unit.
In this case, the control unit must be adapted ⇒ Vehicle diag‐
nostic tester “Guided Functions”.

♦ Switch off ignition before connecting or disconnecting injection
and ignition system wiring as well as test instrument cables.
♦ If the engine has to be turned over at starting speed without it
starting (e.g. compression test), first unplug the connectors
from the ignition coils and the injectors. Read and delete event
memory after completion of work.
♦ Always switch off ignition before cleaning engine.
♦ Disconnecting and connecting the battery must only be done
with the ignition switched off, otherwise the engine control unit
could be damaged.
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:
♦ Test instruments and measuring equipment must always be
secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person from
