MAP-CONTROLLED CDI UNIT
MAP-CONTROLLED CDI UNIT
A map-controlled, CDI ignition system is used in the YZ250F.
The microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the engine speed and throttle position, thus determining
the optimum ignition timing through the entire operating range. In this way, quick throttle response
can be achieved according to various riding conditions.

Pickup coilCDI magneto rotor

Function of Component
Component Function
Throttle position sensor Detects throttle valve opening and inputs it into the computer in the
CDI unit as a throttle opening signal.
Pickup coil Detects signal rotor revolutions and inputs them into the computer in
the CDI unit as engine revolution signals.
CDI unit The signals of the throttle position sensor and pickup coil sensor are
analyzed by the computer in the CDI unit, which then adjusts ignition
timing for the operation requirements.

Principal of 3-Dimensional Control
Conventionally, ignition timing was controlled only
by engine revolutions (2-dimensional control).
However, ignition timing needs advancement also
by engine load. Thus, accurate ignition timing can
be determined by adding throttle opening to deter-
mine ignition timing (3-dimensional control).

IGNITION SYSTEM
INSPECTION STEPS
Use the following steps for checking the possibility of the malfunctioning engine being attributable to
ignition system failure and for checking the spark plug which will not spark.
*marked: Only when the ignition checker is used.
NOTE:
Remove the following parts before inspection.
1) Seat
2) Fuel tank
Use the following special tools in this inspection.
Dynamic spark tester:
YM-34487
Ignition checker:
90890-06754Pocket tester:
YU-3112-C/90890-03112
Spark gap test*Clean or replace
spark plug.
Check entire ignition
system for connection.
(couplers, leads and
ignition coil)Repair or replace.
Check engine stop switch. Replace.
Check ignition coil. Primary coil Replace.
Secondary coil Replace.
Check CDI magneto. Pickup coil Replace.
Charging coil Replace.
Check neutral switch. Repair or replace.

SPARK GAP TEST
1. Disconnect the spark plug cap from spark
plug.
2. Remove the ignition coil cap.
3. Connect the dynamic spark tester 1 (igni-
tion checker 2) as shown.

4. Kick the kickstarter crank.
5. Check the ignition spark gap.
6. Start engine, and increase spark gap until
misfire occurs. (for USA and CDN only)

HANDLING NOTE
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the screws (throttle position
sensor)
1 except when changing the throt-
tle position sensor due to failure because it
will cause a drop in engine performance.
