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 forms the engine management system.

The abbreviated designation "MED 17.7.5" means:

The engine management processes the sensor signals and actuates the actuators accordingly. Individual functions of the engine management are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit here.

The engine management is subdivided into the following systems:

Basic functions 

IMPORTANT Diagnosis:

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

IMPORTANT Control unit programming:

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

IMPORTANT Transport mode:

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

If the vehicle's kilometer reading is more than 250 km, the "transport mode" system status is deactivated automatically and cannot be reactivated anymore using the vehicle diagnosis system.

IMPORTANT Variant coding:

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

Engine 178.9 in model 190

with code U20 (AMG Performance exhaust system, switchable)

Engine 178.9 in model 190

with code U78 (AMG sports exhaust system)

To regulate the sound, the exhaust system is fitted as standard with two continuously adjustable exhaust flaps. These are actuated by the exhaust gas flap actuator motors in a load-dependent manner and by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit via a characteristics map of the respective drive program.

The exhaust flap actuator motors are diagnosable.

If one or both exhaust gas flaps cannot be opened, the engine output is reduced.
