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.

Ground connection 

The ground connection "circuit 31" is made over a number of ground lines to the front right ground point for lamp unit (W2).

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 control 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.

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.
