Body 

The housing of the CDI control unit is made of diecast aluminum and the cover is made of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The CDI control unit is water proof and dust proof.

Power supply 

The CDI control unit is "circuit 30 fused" and also energized by "circuit 87 M1" when the ignition is switched on. In the operating voltage range it has both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection. Power is supplied through several engaged parallel pins connected in parallel to relieve the electrical connections.

Ground connection 

The "circuit 31" ground connection is made via several ground lines to the left major assembly compartment electronics ground point (W16/5).

IMPORTANT Information for partial function "no-load current shutoff" is documented in the function description "Engine OFF energy management function".

IMPORTANT Assembly operations

Ensure before unplugging the plug on the CDI control unit that the ignition is switched off and processor run-on has ended. This is to prevent damage to the CDI control unit and save errors in the control units linked to the CAN.

Variants 

The variants of the engine management, for exampled country and exhaust variants, are activated with XD over the variant coding.
