Engine 177.9 in model 213 

up to model year 2021 

Function requirements, general 

IMPORTANT The fully integrated transmission control unit (Y3/8n4) transmits information about the engaged gear range via the drive train CAN (CAN C1) to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10).

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit does not receive any engine torque request via the drive train CAN, powertrain control unit (N127) and chassis FlexRay (Flex E).

IMPORTANT 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 generated here can overheat the catalytic converters.

Deceleration fuel shutoff 

The deceleration fuel shutoff is an intended, temporary interruption to the flow of fuel, once there is no output required. The deceleration fuel shutoff is largely intended for saving fuel. With an active deceleration fuel shutoff, the engine drag torque is used to decelerate the vehicle (engine brake). The deceleration fuel shutoff is active above the idle speed.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit evaluates the signals of the following sensors for implementing the deceleration fuel shutoff:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit stops injection by no longer actuating the following components:

The fuel injectors are switched on again when the accelerator pedal is operated or an engine torque request has been made.

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

In order to prevent the engine torque from increasing abruptly when combustion resumes after the deceleration fuel shutoff, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit adjusts the ignition in the "retarded" direction. The camshafts are set to a position with reduced valve overlap to ensure a safe combustion without misfires.
