Motor electronics (ME-SFI) fuel injection and ignition system, function - GF07.61-P-0001G

ENGINE 273 in MODEL 463.202/222/236/237 up to 31.5.12 as of model year 2009/YoM 08 

ME gasoline injection and ignition system (motor electronics) (ME), general points 

The ME gasoline injection and ignition system is supplied by "Robert Bosch GmbH" and, when connected electrically to the sensors and actuators of engine 273, creates the engine control "ME 9.7".

The abbreviated designation "ME 9.7" means:

M= Motronic

E= Electronic accelerator

9.7 = Version 9.7

The whole engine control is located in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10), which is subdivided in the following systems:

The sensor data is read in directly and indirectly via the Control Area Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN) network by the engine control and the respective actors are actuated. The following functions and systems are controlled and coordinated:

Basic functions 

IMPORTANT Diagnosis:

For diagnostic purposes, the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) can be used to read out and delete the engine control fault codes, and to actuate certain specific diagnostic functions.

IMPORTANT CAN network

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit exchanges data with other control units that are integrated into the CAN network via the connected drive train CAN (CAN-C).

IMPORTANT Flash programming:

The engine control in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is flash programmable, that is the complete software in the control unit can be replaced using the DAS (installed new). The software required to program the control units is provided on the STAR DIAGNOSIS DAS Update DVD.

IMPORTANT Variant coding:

Using variant coding the following vehicle versions and equipment can be coded using the DAS:

Engine system 

Injection system 

Ignition system 

Exhaust system
