A qualified mechanic who has a code reader that is suited to your particular make and model of vehicle can retrieve this information, and then make a diagnosis of the problem and recommend a course of action. The motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) power supply relay -J271- supplies voltage to the ignition coils with power output stages and the Engine Control Module (ECM) at pin 121. Disconnect voltage supply relay -2- below left cover at bulkhead. Check fuse S10 (in fuse holder, position 10). To remove the protective hood for the TT Roadster relay Merthyr Tydfil, United Kingdom.
