Location 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is located in the middle on the variable intake manifold.

Task 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit creates the engine control in electrical connection with the sensors and actors of engine 272 KE Hybrid. As the master control unit it also takes on a large part of the controlling of hybrid drive systems.

The following systems and functions are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit according to input signals:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit exchanges data to do this via the attached drive-CAN (CAN C), chassis CAN (CAN E) and drive train sensor CAN (CAN I) with other control units which are integrated in the CAN network.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit also acts as the interface (gateway) between the three CAN bus systems.

Input and output signals 

The following input signals are evaluated by the engine control and issued in the respective output signals:

Direct input signals 

Direct output signals 

LIN signals 

CAN input signals 

Instrument cluster (A1) 

Restraint systems control unit (N2/7) 

Comfort AAC [KLA] control and operating unit (N22/7) 

Regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6) 

Electric controller unit (VGS) (Y3/8) 

EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) 

Battery management system control unit (N82/2) 

Fuel pump control unit (N118) 

Power electronics control unit (N129/1) 

DC/DC converter control unit (N83/1)

Design 

The housing of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is made out of diecast aluminum and the cover is made out of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is protected against water and dusts. The housing contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine control.

Voltage supply 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is "circuit 30 fused" and also supplied with a voltage for ignition ON by "circuit 87 M1". It is fitted in the operating voltage range with short-circuit protection as well as reversed polarity protection.

Voltage is supplied through several pins connected in parallel to relieve the electrical connectors.

Ground connection 

The "circuit 31" ground connection consists of several ground lines to the electronic ground (LH footwell) (W34/1).

Computer run-on 

If the ME-SFI [ME] control unit receives the signal "circuit 15 OFF", a processor run-on of approx. 10 seconds is started. However, it may also last for several minutes due to various functions (for example, on-board diagnosis (OBD), drive authorization system (DAS), thermal management).

IMPORTANT Assembly operations

Ensure before unplugging the plug on the ME-SFI [ME] control unit that the ignition is switched off and computer run-on has ended. This is to prevent damage to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and save errors in the control units linked to the CAN.

Variants 

The engine control variants, such as country and exhaust gas variants, are activated with the DAS (Diagnosis Assistance System) using the variant coding function.

Replacement of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is not necessary.
