430=Engine Controle Module (Trionic 7)

229=System Relay

Trionic does not have camshaft position sensor, it uses ion-sense in the CDI cassette to tell ECM which cylinder that is combusting.

In CDI cassette there are two "DET" components which means detonation sensing, one for cylinder 1+2 and one for cylinder 3+4, the "K" means signal upon knock and the "C" means signal upon combustion.

Upon start the ECM does not now which cylinder of number 1 and 4 that is in compression stroke and which that is in exhaust so ignition will happen on both, after that the ion-sense component

of the CDI cassette will sense which cylinder that actualy did a combustion and voilá - we have sync...

Will try to find a better pic in time.
