Gasoline injection and ignition system with DI, general 

The gasoline injection and ignition system with direct injection forms the engine management "MED 17.7.3" in an electrical combination with the sensors and actuators of engine 276.9 DI ( irect- njection).

The short designation MED 17.7.3 means:

M = Motronic 

E = E  lectronic accelerator pedal

D = D  irect injection

17.7.3  = Version 17.7.3 

The whole engine management is contained in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

Sensor data are directly read in from the engine management and indirectly via the CAN network and actuate the control actuators as required. Here the individual functions and systems of the engine management are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

The following table represents the model and major assembly overview for engine 276.9:

Sales designation Model Engine Transmission Engine management Notes
Model series 222           
S 400 HYBRID 222.057 (Sedan) 276.960 724.206 MED 17.7.3 Model designation up to model year 2016
S 400 H 222.057 (Sedan) 276.960 724.206 MED 17.7.3 Model designation as of model year 2016
S 400 HYBRID 222.157 (LWB sedan) 276.960 724.206 MED 17.7.3 Model designation up to model year 2016
S 400 H 222.157 (LWB sedan) 276.960 724.206 MED 17.7.3 Model designation as of model year 2016

The engine management is subdivided into the following systems:

Base functions 

IMPORTANT Diagnosis

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

IMPORTANT Transport mode

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

If the kilometer reading on the vehicle is more than 250 km, the system condition "vehicle transport mode" is automatically deactivated and can also not be reactivated any more by the Xentry Diagnostics.

IMPORTANT CAN network

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.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is also connected to the drive train LIN (LIN C1) and exchanges data over it.

IMPORTANT Programming

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

IMPORTANT Variant coding

With variant coding the following vehicle versions and equipment can, for example, be coded using XENTRY Diagnostics:

Engine system 

Fuel injection system 

Ignition system 

Exhaust system
