Location 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is located on the left of the engine next to the charge air distributor.

Tasks 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit fulfills the following tasks:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit operates in an electrical network of sensors and actuators to form the engine management system for engine 274 Hybrid. As the master control unit it also takes on a large part of the controlling of hybrid systems. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit also acts as an interface (Gateway) between the attached CAN bus systems.

Controlling the engine basic functions 

Reading in of signals 

Input factors are read in over the following connections:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integral microprocessor, and the relevant components are actuated.

Output of signals and actuation of components 

Initial parameter are output over the following connections:

IMPORTANT The electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) is the central interface (Gateway) for exchange of function-relevant data for control units which are connected to the various Control Area Network (CAN) bus systems.

Input factors and initial parameters for the following components are read in or output over direct lines by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and are needed by the engine management

Body 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit housing is made out of diecast aluminum and the cover is made out corrosion-protected sheet steel. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is water and dust protected.

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

Voltage supply 

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

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

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

Ground connection 

The "circuit 31" ground connection is made via several ground lines to the left major assembly compartment electronics ground point (W16/5).

IMPORTANT Information for partial function "no-load current shutoff" is documented in the function description "Engine OFF energy management function".

Variants 

The variants of the engine management, for exampled country and exhaust variants, are activated with XD over the variant coding. Exchange of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is not necessary.
