ME-SFI control unit, ME-SFI fault code description - AD07.61-P-4000-91L

    ME-SFI control unit, fault in function monitoring 
1 Fault code P203B First fault occurring in function monitoring (P0221)
(USA ONLY Display on generic scan tool) P203C Second fault in function monitoring with highest priority (P0221)
2 Fault storage After expiry of test duration and fault
Activation of the engine diagnosis indicator lamp (EURO3/4)
or CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY
Following two successive driving cycles with faults
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Functions in ME-SFI control unit
5 IMPORTANT Replace the ME-SFI control unit in the event of a fault. If faults are also stored for the hot film MAF sensor, first check the hot film MAF sensor.
The following faults are detected:
  • Fault in engine torque monitoring
  • Fault in injection sequence monitoring at cylinder shutoff
  • Fault in locking time monitoring for cylinder shutoff
  • Fault in air mass monitoring
  • Fault in cruise control switch/variable cruise control switch monitoring
  • Fault in stop lamp switch monitoring
  • Fault in ETC monitoring
  • Fault in Distronic monitoring Fault in ESP monitoring
  • Fault in pedal value sensor signal monitoring
  • Fault in throttle valve actual value potentiometer monitoring
  • Fault in speed signal monitoring
  • Fault in ignition angle monitoring
  • Fault in electronic accelerator pedal false reaction monitoring
  • Fault in A/D converter for pedal value sensor signal monitoring.
6   Function monitoring protects the electronic accelerator pedal in order to prevent any false reactions such as sudden acceleration. The limp-home mode function is activated in the event of a fault
Function monitoring in the ME-SFI control unit works in parallel with and independently of the actual function computers. A fault is stored if deviations between function monitoring and function computers become too large.
A fault is stored for Distronic, ESP, ETC, stop lamp switch and selector lever module only where no faults are detected at the associated components and CAN signals.
