Diagnostic code - 3 flashes
A three-flash code indicates a system where the
control unit does not recognise the key. Turn the
switch to ON using several keys: if the error code
is repeated even with the Master key, replace the
control unit. If this is not the case, perform a re-
programming.
Ignition circuit
All the control operations of the system that entail disconnecting cables (to check connections and the
devices making up the ignition circuit) must be done with the engine off: if this is not done, the controls
might be irretrievably damaged.
The battery provides the basic power supply. The system is adjusted so that the start-up system im-
mediately detects an eventual battery voltage drop, and this is practically irrelevant for the ignition
system.
The Pick-Up is connected to the control unit by a single cable; therefore, the control unit is connected
to the Pick-Up by the chassis and the engine ground lead.
To avoid disturbances in the ignition system during start-up, it is very important that the engine-chassis
ground connection bonding is efficient.
No spark plug
Once the lack of power to the spark plug has been
detected and the led indicates it can be ignited,
follow this procedure:
- Pick-Up check.
Disconnect the control unit connector and check
that the cable between terminal No. 3 (Green) and
terminal No. 12 (Black) is not interrupted.
The check includes the Pick-Up and its power line.
If a break in the circuit is found, check again the
flywheel and the engine earth connectors. If non-
conforming values are measured, replace the
Pick-Up; otherwise, repair the cable harness.
