General notes on ignition system


Note:

The battery should only be disconnected and
reconnected when the ignition is turned off,
since otherwise the Engine Control Module
(ECM) can be damaged.
For the electric components to work properly, a
voltage of at least 12.7 V is required.
It is possible that the control module will
recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during
some tests. After completing all tests and
repairs, DTC memory should therefore be
checked and erased if necessary.
If the engine only starts briefly and then turns
off again after troubleshooting, repair or
checking of the components, it may be that the
immobilizer is blocking the Engine Control
Module (ECM). DTC memory must then be
checked and if necessary, control module must
be adapted.
