6.2.3 Straight Order Wiring of the Ignition Outputs
Risk of damage to engine
If you use straight order wiring, it is absolutely necessary that the
MOTORTECH wiring rail for the respective engine is used and correctly
installed. Even a rotated installation can cause serious damage to the
engine, for example.
Straight order wiring, along with wiring in firing order, is supported by the MICT for many
engines with predefined output configurations in the engine database. That means that if the
wiring is carried out accordingly and the option Wired in Straight Order is selected in the MICT,
no other adaptation of the output configuration is necessary.
You can use straight order wiring, if:
– Wiring takes place via a corresponding MOTORTECH wiring harness and a MOTORTECH
wiring rail. The harness is marked with the following information: PLEASE NOTE! The firing
order needs to be configured directly in the ignition controller. The ignition coils on the
wiring rail are identified with Connector Pin 1 to Connector Pin X.
– Make the wiring of the ignition controller corresponding to the instructions in the following
sections (for example with an open wiring harness or via a junction box).
Execution of straight order wiring is dependent on the following factors:
– One or two output banks in the ignition controller
– The type of engine (in-line or V-engine)
– Alignment of the wiring rail(s)
