Location 

The CDI control unit is built into the engine compartment at the right in front of the windshield.

Task 

The CDI control unit performs the following tasks:

The CDI control unit also acts as the interface (gateway) between the three connected CAN bus systems.

Controlling the basic engine functions 

Reading in of sensors and signals 

Input factors are read in by means of the following connections:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the affected components are then actuated.

Design 

The housing of the CDI control unit is made of die-cast aluminum and the cover is made of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The CDI control unit is water proof and dust proof.

The housing contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine control.

IMPORTANT The CDI control unit has an internal atmospheric pressure sensor.

Ground connection 

The ground connection "circuit 31" is made via a number of ground lines to the right major assemblies compartment ground, power ground (W16/4).

Power supply 

The CDI control unit is supplied with power by "circuit 30 fused" and, with the ignition on, by "circuit 87". In the operating voltage range it has both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection.

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

IMPORTANTNo-load current shutoff 

Information for partial function "no-load current shutoff" is documented in the function description "Energy management engine OFF function".

Variants 

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

Replacement of the CDI control unit is not necessary.

IMPORTANT Assembly operations

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