Gasoline injection and ignition system with DI, general 

The gasoline injection and ignition system with direct injection forms the engine management "MED 17.7.3" in an electrical network with the sensors and actuators of engine 276 DEH LA ( irekt inspritzung omogenbetrieb mit Aufladung [translation:  direct injection homogeneous operation with charging]).

The short designation MED 17.7.3 means:

M = M  otronic

E = E  lectronic accelerator pedal

D = D  irect injection

17.7.3  = Version 17.7.3 

The whole engine management is contained in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit. Sensor data are read in directly by the engine management and indirectly via the CAN network and the respective actuators are actuated.

Here the individual functions and systems of the engine management are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

The following table represents the Model and major assembly overviews for the engine 276.8:

The engine management is subdivided into the following systems:

Base functions 

IMPORTANT Diagnosis

For diagnostic purposes, the fault codes of the engine management system can be read out and deleted using Xentry Diagnostics, and individual diagnostic functions can be specifically actuated.

IMPORTANT CAN network

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit exchanges data with other control units that are integrated in the CAN network via the connected drive train CAN and engine CAN. The powertrain control unit serves as an interface (gateway) here between the connected CAN bus systems.

IMPORTANT Control unit programming

The engine management in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is programmable, i.e. the complete software of the control unit can be exchanged (replaced) using XENTRY Diagnostics. The software required for control unit programming can be found on the diagnostic system software DVD.

IMPORTANT Transport mode

In transport mode various functions of the engine management are limited.

If the kilometer reading on the vehicle is more than 250 km, the system condition "vehicle transport mode" is automatically deactivated and can also not be reactivated any more by the Xentry Diagnostics.

IMPORTANT Variant coding

With variant coding the following vehicle versions and equipment can, for example, be coded using XENTRY Diagnostics:

Engine system 

Fuel injection system 

Ignition system 

Exhaust system
