Body 

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 dust.

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

Power supply 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is "circuit 30 fused" and also supplied with a voltage for ignition ON by "circuit 87 M4".

In the operating voltage range it has both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection.

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

Ground connection 

The ground connection "Circuit 31" occurs via a number of ground lines to the left major assembly compartment ground, power ground (W16/3).

Variants 

The engine timing variants (e.g. national and exhaust variants) are activated with Xentry Diagnostics using the variant coding function. Replacement of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is not necessary.
