Function requirements for deceleration fuel shutoff, general points 

Deceleration fuel shutoff, general 

Deceleration fuel shutoff in deceleration mode of the engine has the following tasks:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) performs a deceleration fuel shutoff dependent on the following sensors and signals:

Deceleration fuel shutoff, function sequence 

In overrun mode, the ME-SFI control unit switches off the fuel injectors for cylinders 1 to 8 (Y76/1 to Y76/8) depending on the coolant temperature, the engaged gear, and the engine speed if the accelerator pedal is not actuated.

The fuel injectors are switched on again when the accelerator pedal is operated.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit also uses the left and right intake camshaft solenoids (Y49/4, Y49/5) and the left and right exhaust camshaft solenoids (Y49/6, Y49/7) to adjust the camshafts to a position with reduced valve overlap. This allows secure combustion without misfires.

After deceleration fuel shutoff, the ME-SFI control unit enriches the fuel/air mixture by briefly lengthening the injection period in order to relieve the catalytic converters of enriched oxygen.

To prevent an abrupt torque rise when combustion is restarted after the overrun mode fuel shutoff, the ME-SFI control unit briefly adjusts the ignition angles of the ignition coils for cylinders 1+2 to cylinders 7+8 (T4 to T4/3) in the direction of "retard". Deceleration fuel shutoff is disabled when exhaust temperatures are too high, since the high oxygen content occurring in the exhaust during a deceleration fuel shutoff could cause increased oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon (afterburning). The heat so generated can overheat the catalytic converters.
