Function
It tells the control unit if the driver wishes to enable engine start-up or to keep the engine running.
Operating principle
If the driver wants to shut off the engine or to disable engine start-up, the switch should be open, i.e. the Marelli control unit should not detect voltage at VEHICLE connector PIN 26.
Level in wiring diagram: Start-up enabling switches.
Location:
- on the vehicle: right light switch
- connector: inside the rubber protection located between the water radiator and the fuel tank, to the right.
Electrical characteristics:
- STOP position: the circuit is open
- RUN position: closed circuit (continuity)
Pin-out:
- 1. Yellow/grey cable: -
- 2. Red/black cable: Voltage 12V

Caution! Before carrying out any troubleshooting, carefully read the general troubleshooting concepts for electrical devices at the beginning of the check and control section in the electrical system chapter.
Axone: statuses
Run / stop switch
Example value: Run/Stop
Indication on Axone always STOP: disconnect the connector and, with the switch set to RUN, check if there is continuity toward the switch of the two yellow/grey and red/black cables: if there is no continuity, replace the sensor; if there is, check the connector. If not OK, restore the cable harness; if it is OK, with key set to ON, check if there is voltage to the red/black cable: if there is no voltage, restore the cable harness; if there is, check the yellow/grey cable earth insulation: if there is continuity to ground, restore the cable harness; if it is correct, take the key to OFF and check the VEHICLE connector is in good conditions and the continuity of the grey/yellow cable between the sensor in question and the VEHICLE connector PIN 26: if not OK, restore the cable harness; if OK, replace the Marelli control unit.
Indication on Axone always RUN: disconnect the connector and, with the switch set to STOP, check if there is continuity between the two cables of the switch: if there is continuity, replace the switch; if there is not, it means that, with key set to ON, the yellow/grey cable is shorted to positive: restore the cable harness.
