This signal should be displayed when the Hall system is okay:
Ignition timing will be retarded approximately 6° in all speed ranges, if the DME
control unit recognizes that the Hall signal is missing.
Protective circuit test:
Turn off ignition. Disconnect Hall plug. Start the engine. Idle speed ignition timing
will adjust itself to approximately 4° before TDC (944 S). There must be a certain
load signal from the air flow sensor in case of 944 S2 cars.
Test Point
Replace control unit.
