SUBJECT
ISTA Expert Mode Diagnosis Enhanced for DME/DDE
MODEL
All
information
With the introduction of ISTA 3.43, additional information is available to assist the technician in diagnosing
DME/DDE complaints.
1. The following engine variants now have a standard list of status requests:
B38, B48, N47T, N55, N57T, S55, N63, N63T and S63
Additional engines variants will be added with each subsequent ISTA version. Refer to the ISTA news in
each version for additional details.
The status requests are now grouped into functional groups, for example:
 101 Engine speed

 102 Coolant temperature
 201 Air mass
 403 Fuel tank level
2. Nominal values are also being added as Functional Description documents and are included directly in the
test plan itself. More values will be added with each ISTA release. The example attachment refers to
nominal values for MSS65 (S85).
advantages
Advantages for the technician with this new format are as follows:
 More "expert mode" information is available to the technician to assist in diagnosis where no fault is
stored.
 The technician can now select status requests across different functional groups and view them in one list.
 The status request values can be easily accessed from the "Vehicle test" screen. Select and highlight the
DME/DDE control module, and then select "Call up ECU functions."
Refer to the attached list of standard values. The actual values vary depending on engine variant. This document
can also be found in ISTA News on the ISTA home page.

New diagnosis requests for engine control units

For the following engine controls, the status requests have been simplified and enhanced from the F01 onwards:
- Diesel engines: B37, B47, N47, N57
- Petrol engines: B38, B48, N55, S55, N63, N63T, S63
All status requests are listed in a functional group and are grouped in number blocks. The status requests can thus be mixed
in any combination and are identical for the specified engines.

Description of the adaptations

1. Idle speed
Idle speed is set by the DME via the idle actuator to the relevant nominal value. Control of the idle speed is based on
torque. If there are deviations from the nominal idle speed, the speed is adapted by increasing or reducing the engine
torque. This increase or decrease is recorded in the idle speed adaptation. Positive values mean that the idle actuators
are opened further.
2. Excess air
The air leak adaptation compares the filling measured by the hot film air mass meter with the filling calculated by the
DME. The DME uses the torque requirement to calculate the relative filling and thus the necessary opening cross section.
The adaptation is active at idle speed with the engine at operating temperature. The main cause of deviations is the
changed gap in the closed throttle valves.
In the case of greater gaps, the adaptation deviates negatively. Vehicles with longer service lives tend towards positive
values; often it is then sufficient to clean the throttle body.
On troubleshooting, the difference between air leak and excess air is to be observed:
- Excess air is caused by leak in the intake area towards the outside.
- Air leak is caused by the gaps of the throttle valves.

The air leak adaptation does not react to excess air! In the case of excess air, the oxygen sensor adaptation and oxygen
sensor emissions control react. The deviation value of the oxygen sensor adaptation then deviates positively.
3. Throttle valves / idle actuator
Sequence of throttle adaptation:
• The throttle valves are pressed by the DME into the 'closed' limit position.
• The activation is stopped and the throttle valve sensor value that is then measured is stored as the adaptation
value.
Sequence of idle-actuator adaptation:
file://U:\Eigene Dateien\FUB-FUB-FB1215_MSS65ADAP\visual\FUB-FUB-FB1215... 04.04.2014

• The idle actuators are pressed by the DME into the 'open' limit position.
• The idle-actuator sensor value that is then measured is stored as the adaptation value.
4. VANOS
The DME learns the end stop of the VANOS from the limit position adaptation.
The valve quality enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the operability of the VANOS solenoid valves.
Contamination of the solenoid valves has a major influence on the operability of the solenoid valves. The greater the
adaptation value, the better the valve quality.
5. Accelerator pedal module
The voltage values of the two hall effect sensors in the accelerator pedal module are measured in idle position and stored
as adaptation values.
6. Oxygen sensor emissions control
The oxygen sensor adaptation shifts the control status of the oxygen sensor emissions control.
• Factor: greater than 1 means enrich (active in the range of greater injection quantities)
• Deviation: positive values mean enrich (active in the range of smaller injection quantities)
7. Knock control
Knocking cylinders are statistically evaluated by the Digital Engine Electronics and the result is used to calculate a
retraction angle. This retraction angle is stored as an adaptation value.
With the engine running, the current ignition timing is corrected with the adaptation value. Depending on the operating
range, the adaptation value is weighted.
• Negative value: correction in direction retarded
Possible influences on the knock adaptation:
- Fuel grade
- Fault at an intake air temperature sensor
- Oil coking, oil consumption
- Fault at the spark plugs
8. Filling control
In various operating conditions, the filling control compares the filling measured by the hot film air mass meter with the
filling calculated by the DME. The determined deviation is stored in the form of a factor as adaptation value.
The adaptation can be used primarily to evaluate the characteristic curves of the hot film air mass meter. The measuring
range of the hot film air mass meter here is divided into 8 ranges.
Note on using the adaptation for troubleshooting:
- Even if only one of the 8 range values deviates, the informative value is restricted.
- If only the adaptation of filling control indicates non-permitted deviations in a number of ranges, this indicates a
faulty hot film air mass meter. In the case of excess air, additional oxygen sensor emissions control faults would
also have to be stored and the idle speed adaptation would have to deviate.
- Oil coking, oil consumption
- Fault at the spark plugs
9. Catalytic converters
This catalytic converter adaptation checks the oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converters. If there are deviations
from the nominal values, the system test for catalytic converters must be run.
10. Oxygen sensor emissions control
The oxygen sensor emissions control checks the ageing of the oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. The adaptation
value is used to influence the oxygen sensor emissions control.
11. Fuel pressure control
With the engine running and low fuel requirement, the regulation of the desired fuel pressure requires a certain duty cycle
for activation of fuel pump 1. This duty cycle is compared with the duty cycle that the DME calculates for the pilot control
function.
Deviations in the two duty cycles are stored as an deviation and as a factor. This corrects the duty cycle of the fuel
pressure control. The deviation value corrects duty cycles at low loads; the factor corrects duty cycles at higher loads.
Possible influences on the fuel pressure control adaptation:
- Fuel filter blocked
- Soiled or worn collectors of the fuel pump 1, above all with long running periods.

- Internal leak in the fuel pump 1 due to wear, above all with long running periods.
These influences increase the factor.
