Kickdown Cutoff

Function of Kickdown Cutoff

Models 201.022/024 have been equipped since August 1983 with a kickdown cutoff, Model 124 and 201.122 effective start of series production. This enabled the kickdown shift points to be raised.

Function

The kickdown solenoid valve on engine 102.92 is controlled through the cutoff valve relay, on engine 102.96 through the fuel pump relay, on engine 601, 602 and 603 through the kickdown limiter relay.

If kickdown is activated, the power supply to the kickdown solenoid valve is interrupted at 200 - 250 rpm before the engine governed speed. This ensures that the cutoff is activated before the governed speed is reached.
