The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) essentially analyzes the following signals for determining the ignition angle:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit interrupts the primary circuit to "circuit 1" of the respective cylinder 1 to 6 ignition coils (T1/1 to T1/6) in the moment of ignition timing.

Ignition angle adaptation 

An ignition angle adaptation in the direction "retarded" or "advanced" can take place for the following partial functions:

IMPORTANT The ignition angles can only be checked using the DAS.
