Ignition System: Description and Operation

General Notes on Ignition System

- The battery should only be disconnected and reconnected when the ignition is turned off since otherwise the Engine Control Module (ECM) can be damaged.
- The Engine Control Module (ECM) is equipped with an On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
- 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.
