 System Overview

• Motronic means controlling the electronic

ignition (map controlled electronic ignition
timing) and fuel injection (L-Jetronic)
• Bosch Started series production of the first
Motronic system in 1979.
• More stringent demands for clean
emissions gradually led to widespread use
of Motronic system

 Motoronic versions
• M-Motronic: control the fuel and ignition system
• ME-Motronic: expands M-Motronic by providing
electronic throttle control (torque structure)
• MED-Motronic: expands ME-Motronic by
furnishing closed-loop control of GDI
• MEG-Motronic: with integrated transmission
control (not in extensive use, as the demands on
hardware are considerable)
M-Motronic
 Air system component
• Throttle valve(16) controls the air flow rate flowing
through the intake manifold to the cylinders by the
position of the accelerator pedal
• Idle actuator (15) allows air to bypass the throttle
valve at a defined mass air flow.
• Sensors for detecting engine load (air charge):
1. Air-flow sensor
2. Hot-wire air-mass meter
3. Hot-film air-mass sensor
4. Intake-manifold pressure sensor
5. Throttle-valve sensor
• Exhaust-gas recirculation
• Variable-geometry intake manifold
• Exhaust-gas turbocharging
• Variable valve timing

•Calculating the required
cylinder charge on the
basis of the required
torque
•The required throttle valve
aperture is calculated
•The required injected-fuel
mass is calculated based
on the cylinder charge
Crankshaft-synchronized
channel
•Calculate the maximum
possible torque for the
available cylinder charge
•If the required torque is less
than the maximum possible
torque a rapid reduction in
torque can be achieved by
retarding the ignition or
shutting down one or more
cylinder (injection interludes).
 ME-Motronic subsystems
Air-system components
• Throttle valve position is
electrically adjusted by
the servomotor (3)
• The accelerator pedal
position detected by the
pedal-travel sensor (23)
• No need to the idle
actuator on the M-
Motronic system.
Engine load is detected by:
1. The hot-film air-mass
meter (2) and/or
2. The intake-manifold
pressure sensor (5)
