Function requirements for the ignition system, general points 

Ignition system, general points 

A single-spark ignition coil is plugged directly into each cylinder. For the ignition system, the ME-SFI (N3/10) control unit reads the following sensors and signals:

The requirements of the engine torque requirement function are also taken into account.

IMPORTANT For the following partial functions, ignition angle adjustment in the direction "retarded" or "advanced" takes place:

Ignition system function sequence 

At the firing point, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) opens the ground end of the primary circuit (circuit 1) to the ignition coil concerned (T1).

Determination of the ignition angle takes place dependent on a performance map according to the input signals from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

Cylinder arrangement and ignition firing order 

IMPORTANT Diagnosis

The ignition angles can be checked only with the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
