SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

TROUBLE-SHOOTING SIMTEC 56.5

System Description
General

Simtec 56.5 is a fuel injection and ignition system that is used in Opel and Vauxhall cars. The system uses certain sensors which operate in an unusual way. The first is the camshaft sensor, which is described on page 5. The second is the lambda sensor which, unlike the lambda sensor in other systems, has a signal that alternates between 05 V.
Note:

It is important that the connection of the equipment is done according to Users Guide (page 6).
