Task Design
Controls in line with the input signals the functions of: Connection is achieved on the engine-side and on-board via two
Ignition system/fuel injection system couplings interlocked via slide valves. Cooling fins on the upper
Electronic accelerator/cruise control/idle speed control side provide the necessary rejection of heat. Vibrations are
Diagnosis/fault storage suppressed by rubber brackets.
Drive authorization system/immobilizer

Function
Control of fuel injection system Control of cruise control
The ME control unit actuates the fuel injection valves separately The ME control unit operates the throttle valve actuator for the
corresponding to the firing order (sequentially) according to the cruise control function on the basis of the input signals and the
position of the cruise control switch.

input signals and the performance maps stored in the ME control
unit. The ME-SFI control unit calculates the opening times
(injection times) of the fuel injection valves.
Control of ignition system
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit actuates the ignition system
according to the input signals and performance maps stored in the
ME-SFI [ME] control unit. The ME-SFI control unit calculates the
ignition angle values and controls the anti-knock control (AKC).
Control of idle speed control
The throttle valve actuator is actuated on the basis of the input
signals and the performance maps stored in the ME control unit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drive authorization system/immobilizer
The ME-SFI control unit is always equipped with an immobilizer.
When the vehicle is locked, the drive authorization system control
unit transmits information over the CAN data bus to the ME-SFI
control unit, which thereupon interlocks the engine management
system (fuel injection system). The engine can be started (start
enable) only when the vehicle is unlocked with the authorized key
again and the control unit of the drive authorization system sends
information to this effect to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit via the
CAN data bus.
The ME control unit is functional only with a CAN data bus and the
FBS 3 drive authorization system.
Engine speed signal
The ME control unit generates the short-circuit proof engine speed
signal TNA from the signals supplied by the crankshaft position
sensor, and outputs them to other control units. 3 pulses are output
per engine revolution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuel consumption signal
The consumption signal is calculated from the injection times (e.g. 8
liters/hour) and is transmitted via CAN to the trip computer in the
instrument cluster.
Start recognition
The engine control unit is informed about the introduced starting
procedure via the CAN message "circuit 50". This is necessary in
order, for example, to trigger the start quantity control, the starter
control, the post-start enrichment and the ignition timing when
starting.

position of the cruise control switch.
Additional cruise control functions include variable speed limiter
and Distronic.
Diagnosis/DTC memory
The ME-SFI control unit checks its inputs and outputs for
plausibility and recognizes possible faults. The following faults can
be distinguished:
- Faults present all the time
- Loose contact faults that have occurred while driving
The faults are erased in the ME-SFI control unit after circuit 30 is
interrupted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actuations with STAR DIAGNOSIS
Functions can be actuated specifically for diagnostic purposes.
These are listed in a menu item.
Variant coding
For adapting the ME control unit to different vehicle versions and
vehicle equipment by means of matching code numbers. Coding is
performed with STAR DIAGNOSIS. The variant coding can be
used to code the following vehicle versions and equipment
variants:
Vehicle model
National version
Transmission version
with or without TWC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Computer run-on
After the ignition is switched off, the ME-SFI control unit performs a
delayed-off run during which certain data memories are updated
(e.g. the DTC memory). The run-on time with a warmed up engine
is approx. 5 s, but may be extended to several minutes by various
functions. After the fault memory has been cleared, the run-on time
must expire.
Various engine operating information is transmitted via the
CAN databus from the ME control unit to the instrument cluster and
to other control units which are connected to the CAN databus.
