Engine 178.9 In Model 190
Function requirements synchronization of fuel injection and firing order, general points
- Circuit 87M (Engine management ON)
- Engine runs
The " Engine running" function requirement includes all function sequences of the low pressure and high-pressure fuel circuits, as described in the "Fuel supply" function.
Synchronization of fuel injection and firing order, general points
Synchronization of the injection and firing orders is processed by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) in order to actuate the ignition coils and fuel injectors.
Furthermore, synchronization is required for knock control and fuel shutoff on the individual cylinders.
The ME-SFI control unit synchronizes the injection and firing order using the signals from the following sensors:
- Left and right intake camshaft Hall sensors (B6/4, B6/5), intake camshaft positions
- Left and right exhaust camshaft Hall sensors (B6/6, B6/7), exhaust camshaft positions
- Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), engine speed, and crankshaft position
Function sequence for synchronization of the fuel injection and firing order
The function sequence is described in the following steps:
- Function sequence for synchronization
- Function sequence for engine coasting detection
- Function sequence for engine speed signal
Function sequence for synchronization
When the engine is started, the injection sequence is determined in accordance with the firing order using the voltage signals from the crankshaft Hall sensor and the intake camshaft or exhaust camshaft Hall sensors. To do this, the ignition TDC (top dead center) of cylinder 1 must be recognized.
At the 2nd negative signal edge following the gap in the signal from the crankshaft Hall sensor, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit detects the TDC position of cylinders 1 and 6. If the signal from an intake camshaft Hall sensor is at 0 V (low) at this time, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit processes it to detect ignition TDC in cylinder 1.
If the voltage signal from a camshaft Hall sensor is missing, the voltage signal from another camshaft Hall sensor is taken in a certain sequence and used as a replacement to detect ignition TDC in cylinder 1. If no voltage signal whatsoever is available from a camshaft Hall sensor, injection and ignition take place after a 360° CKA (C
ran K A
ngle) in order to allow an emergency engine start.
Function sequence for engine coasting detection
When the engine is stopped, engine coasting detection is started, which also evaluates the engine turn back shortly before standstill. During a computer run-on from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit, the determined rest position of the crankshaft is stored in ° CKA and used for the next engine start. If engine coasting detection does not produce a result or the engine has been turned while shut down, injection and firing order are synchronized at engine start.
Function sequence for engine speed signal
Using the signal from the crankshaft Hall sensor, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit generates the short circuit-proof engine speed signal (for example for cold testing and diagnosis) and outputs it via the powertrain CAN (CAN C1).
A voltage signal (alternating voltage) is generated by the teeth on the sensor rotor (perforated plate) in the crankshaft Hall sensor when the crankshaft is turning. Here, each tooth generates a voltage pulse. No voltage is generated at the gap where there are 2 missing teeth.
The engine speed signal is a square wave signal with a constant duty cycle of 6 pulses (60° crank angle) per engine rotation and a maximum current of approx. 20 mA.
If the voltage signal from the crankshaft Hall sensor drops, the voltage signals from the left and right intake camshaft Hall sensors or the left and right exhaust camshaft Hall sensors are used instead (in limp-home mode).
