ME-SFI [ME] control unit - fault code description, ME-SFI - AD07.61-P-4000-91M

    ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10), fault in function monitoring in electronic accelerator pedal
1 Fault code P203B First fault appeared (P0221)
  (fault code according to OBD) P203C Fault with highest priority (P0221)
2 Fault storage After expiry of test duration and fault
  Actuation of engine diagnosis indicator lamp (EURO4) or CHECK ENGINE (MIL) USA ONLY Following two successive driving cycles with faults
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Functions in ME-SFI [ME] control unit
5 Fault setting conditions  Faults are detected in the stated sequence, where the deviation from the substitute value is too great:
  • Fault in engine torque monitoring
  • Fault in load detection monitoring
  • Fault in cruise control pushbutton switch/cruise control variable monitoring
  • Fault in brake light switch monitoring
  • Fault in EGS monitoring
  • Fault in Distronic monitoring
  • Fault in ESP monitoring
  • Fault in pedal value sensor signals monitoring
  • Fault in actual value potentiometer throttle valve monitoring
  • Fault in RPM signal monitoring
  • Fault in ignition angle monitoring
  • Fault in fault reaction of electronic accelerator monitoring
  • Fault in monitoring of A/D converter for pedal value sensor signals.
6 Check prerequisites
  • Engine speed greater than 1300 RPM
  • No CAN fault
  • No pressure sensor fault downstream of throttle valve actuator (B28/7)
  • No pressure sensor fault upstream of throttle valve actuator (B28/6)
7 IMPORTANT
  • In the event of a fault, replace the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.
  • Function monitoring protects the electronic accelerator pedal in order to exclude incorrect reactions such as sudden acceleration. The limp-home mode function is activated in the event of a fault
  • Function monitoring in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit works in parallel and independently of the actual function computers. A fault is stored if deviations between the function monitoring and function computers become too large.
  • A fault is stored for Distronic, ESP, ETC, stop lamp switch and selector lever module only if no faults have been detected at the associated components and CAN signals.
