Distribution Terminal +30

Distribution Terminal +30:




Operation

The positive supply is taken from battery 1 directly to starter motor 4 and then further to B+ on the alternator 2, and to distribution block 75.

From distribution block 75, supplies are then taken to the following components and to fuses 24-31. (Fuse 23 is not used on cars powered by the 16-valve engine.)

Ignition switch relay 21

Timing service instrument socket 73

Fuel pump relay 102 and main relay 229 for the LH fuel injection system on cars powered by the 16- valve engine. (On cars with the 8-valve fuel injection engine, fuel pump relay 102 is connected instead to fuse 30.)

Lighting relay 8

Light switch 10, across the red 29-pole connector 152B

Ignition switch 20 and connector 122 for the burglar alarm, across the white 29-pole connector 152A. Time-delay relay l5lforthe delayed interior lighting is also supplied from the ignition switch (only on certain markets).

On cars destined for the U.S.A., Canada and Japan, fuse 21 for the extra fog lamps and connector 289 for the burglar alarm are also connected to this distribution block.

Fault-tracing hints
1. Check the battery voltage.
2. Check the terminals of distribution block 75 and the 29-pole connectors 152.
3. Check that the supply to each component is live.
4. Check the relevant wiring.
