This error is indicated if the main relay is deactivated too quickly (with detail of unexpected activation) or is turned off too late or does not go off at all (with detail of actuator postponement). If the main relay is not switched off after the control units have been inactive for a while, a counter is activated in the engine management control unit. If the main relay is not switched off after an internally programmed period, the fault code is issued. If the main relay switches off too quickly during a period of inactivity for the control unit, the fault codes will not be memorized.
