1.21 Calculated load and fuel trim determination

The calculated engine load "rl" is based on a calculated load signal balanced with the output signal delivered by the hot-film air-mass sensor (HFM).

It is calculated as follows:

mszyl: calculated load signal balanced with mshfm and corrected with mste

mshfm: air mass from HFM

mste: calculated gas mass flow through canister purge valve

nkw: engine speed

K_UFAK_MS_RF: constant depending on displacement

In case of a malfunction of the HFM the balancing with mshfm is cut off. Mszyl is calculated by the throttle valve angle, the variable valve timing, the residual exhaust gas and the engine speed.
