1)

Engine Ground (GND)

1) The motronic Engine Control Module (ECM)
power supply relay -J271- continues to direct
current to terminal 121 of the Engine Control
Module (ECM) for up to 15 minutes after ignition
is switched off.

- Switch ignition on.


Specification: approx. battery voltage
If specified value is not obtained:

- Check wire connections.

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor provides
the ignition position for cylinder 1.
For failure, knock control is switched off and the
ignition angle is retarded slightly since a cylinder
allocation is no longer possible. In addition, the
boost pressure of the turbocharger is decreased.
Engine will continue to run without Camshaft
Position (CMP) sensor signal and can also be
restarted:

When a malfunction is recognized, the Engine
Control Module (ECM) initiates one ignition
spark per cylinder for each crankshaft rotation.
The offset of one engine rotation will have no
noticeable effect on the injection. Instead of
occurring with intake valves open, injection will
be "pre-loaded" (in front of closed intake valve).
This has only a minor effect on the quality of the
mixture preparation.
