Deceleration fuel shutoff, general points

Deceleration fuel shutoff in deceleration mode of the engine has the following tasks:

Increasing the braking effect of the engine
Reducing fuel consumption
Improving exhaust characteristics

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) performs a deceleration fuel shutoff according to the following sensors and signals:

Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)
Accelerator pedal sensor (B37), accelerator pedal position
Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), engine speed
Electric controller unit (VGS) (Y3/8), shift stage over the drive train CAN (CAN C)

Deceleration fuel shutoff, function

In deceleration mode, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit switches off the fuel injectors (Y76) depending on coolant temperature, selected gear and engine speed, if the accelerator pedal is not actuated.

The fuel injection valves are switched on again when the accelerator pedal is operated. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit also adjusts the camshafts into a position with reduced valve overlap over the LH and RH intake camshaft solenoids (Y49/4, Y49/5) and the LH and RH exhaust camshaft solenoids (Y49/6, Y49/7). This allows secure combustion without misfires.

After deceleration fuel shutoff, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit enriches the fuel-air mixture by briefly extending the injection time, in order to protect of the catalytic converters from enriched oxygen.

In order to prevent a sudden rise in torque when combustion is restarted after a deceleration fuel shutoff, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit briefly shifts the ignition angles of the ignition coils (T1) towards "retard".

Deceleration fuel shutoff is disabled when exhaust temperatures are too high, since the high oxygen content occurring in the exhaust during a deceleration fuel shutoff could cause increased oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon (afterburning). The heat so generated can overheat of the catalytic converters.
