Location 

The CDI control unit is on the air filter housing.

Tasks 

The CDI control unit performs the following tasks:

The CDI control unit operates in an electrical network of sensors and actuators to form the Engine management system for Engine 654. The CDI control unit also acts as the interface (gateway) between the three connected CAN bus systems.

Controlling the Engine basic functions 

Reading in of signals 

Input factors are read in over the following connections:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the affected components are then actuated.

Output of signals and actuation of components 

Initial parameter are output over the following connections:

IMPORTANT The electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) is the central interface (Gateway) for exchanging the function-relevant data of the control units that are connected to the various CAN bus systems.

Input factors and initial parameters for the following assembly parts are read in or output over direct lines by the CDI control unit and are needed by the Engine management:

Structure 

The housing of the CDI control unit is made of diecast aluminum and the cover is made of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The CDI control unit is water proof and dust proof.

The inside contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the Engine management.

IMPORTANT The CDI control unit has an internal atmospheric pressure sensor.

Ground connection 

"Circuit 31" ground connection is connected over multiple ground lines to the firewall ground point.

Voltage supply 

The CDI control unit is supplied with power by "circuit 30 fused" and also, for ignition on, by "circuit 87". In the operating 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.

Variants 

The Engine management variants, such as national versions and exhaust gas variants, are activated via variant coding.
