Subject:
New Ignition Relay

Application:
Certain 1993 900 Models

Supersedes 10/93-0384

As of the VIN Serial Numbers listed below, a new ignition relay was introduced into production which improves the starting performance on 900 models. It does so by reducing the voltage drop in the ignition system during starting.

This new relay, fitted in position C of the main fuse box, cannot be found on existing wiring diagrams. Please see page two of this bulletin for an updated diagram. You might want to make copies of the wiring diagram to paste into your dealership's copies of Section 3:2 Electrical system, system diagrams, operation and fault tracing M1991-92 Service Manual, P/N 03 44 028.





NOTE:
Relay 450 can be added to position C of the relay panel on 1990 and later 900's but note that wire colors, numbers, etc. will vary. The object is to feed direct battery voltage to the ignition system and avoid any voltage drop that may be present in the existing wiring. The GN/WH wire is used to control the relay.

NOTE:
Remove GN/WH 1.0 wire number 546 from the +15 distribution terminal in the main fuse box and connect it to the fused side of fuse # 3. This moves the +30 input for the LH ECM 200 from fuse # 22 to fuse # 3.

Cars Affected:
