Gasoline injection and ignition system with DI, general 

The gasoline injection and ignition system with direct injection in electrical combination with the sensors and actuators of the engine M 274 forms the engine management "MED40".

The short designation "MED40" stands for:

M = Motronic

E = Electronics

D = Direct injection

4 = 4 cylinder

0 = generation 0

The whole engine management is contained in the ME-SFI control unit. Sensor data are read in directly by the engine management and indirectly via the CAN network and the respective actuators are actuated. The individual functions and systems of the engine management are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI control unit.

The engine management is subdivided into the following systems:

Basic functions 

IMPORTANTDiagnosis: 

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

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit exchanges data with other control units via the connected drive train CAN and engine CAN which are integrated into the CAN network.

IMPORTANTControl unit programming: 

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

IMPORTANTTransport mode: 

In transport mode various functions of the engine management are limited. If the kilometer reading of the vehicle is more than 250 km, the "transport mode" system status is automatically deactivated and can also no longer be reactivated.

IMPORTANTVariant coding: 

The vehicle model, national version, exhaust variant and transmission version, for example, can be coded with the variant coding.

Engine system 

Fuel injection system 

Ignition system 

Exhaust system 

Exhaust gas recirculation (with code 920 (Gasoline direct injection with stratified charge)) 

IMPORTANTHomogeneous operation 

In homogeneous mode an homogeneous combustible fuel/air mixture (λ = 1) is generated within the whole combustion chamber. There are no further measures required for exhaust aftertreatment since the normal three-way catalytic converter adequately converts the pollutants.

IMPORTANT Engine 274.9 in Model 205 (except 205.047/053/054/147/247/253) with code 920 (Direct gasoline injection with stratified charging)

Engine 274.9 in Model 253 (except 253.354/954) with code 920 (Direct gasoline injection with stratified charging)

During stratified operation, a combustible mixture (λ ≈ 1) is present only in the vicinity of the spark plug while various lambda values are present in the remaining combustion chamber. This varies from pure intake air through to exhaust gases from the EGR. Thus fuel consumption in stratified operation is less than that in homogeneous mode. Because of the excess air, which consists of approx. 75 % nitrogen, the NOx development in the stratified charge operation is significantly higher than in the homogeneous injection operation. This requires use of a NOx storage catalytic converter.

In homogeneous stratified charge operation, more favorable exhaust emission values can be achieved above 4 bar injection pressure than in pure stratified charge operation. At the same time, it enables an injection pressure of more than 7 bar, as a result of which considerable savings in consumption are achieved. Homogeneous stratified charge operation is a combination of homogeneous/lean and conventional stratified combustion systems. Here, with a non-derated engine, the first injection tales place in the intake stroke; the actual "stratified" injection takes place before the ignition.
