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 inside contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine management.
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 nominal operating voltage range there is both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection.
Power is supplied through several connectors connected over a number of parallel pins 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).
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.
Replacement of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is not necessary.
