After ending the test procedure, 
disconnect the test lead and reseal 
the diagnostic jack with the plug. 
7.3.3 Check screwed and plug 
connections as well as 
switch
– Carry out test preparations, 
b 7.3.1
There must be a reliable connection 
for communication between control 
unit, switching device and solenoid 
valve. If communication between 
control unit and solenoid valve is 
interrupted or faulty, the control unit 
does not initiate an ignition spark.
– In the event of a malfunction or if 
there is no ignition spark, first 
check the plug connections and 
wiring harness between control 
device and solenoid valve
Screws (1) must be tight.
Leads (arrows) must be seated 
completely and firmly in the cable 
lugs.

7.3.4 Checking the solenoid 
valve
– Carry out test preparations, 
b 7.3.1
– Check contacts and operation, 
b 7.3.3
– Move choke lever to position "F"
– Connect the test lead, b 7.3.2
Measuring resistance
: Measure resistance between 
plugs (1) and (2) of the M-Tronic 
test lead
Target value: between 28 and 
42 ohms 
– If the target value is not attained, 
check electrical leads for 
interruption, e. g., due to cable 
breakage between solenoid 
valve and diagnostic jack
