Gasoline injection and ignition system with DI, general 

The gasoline injection and ignition system with direct injection in electrical combination with the sensors and actuators of engine 274 (direct injection) forms the engine management system "MED40". The short designation "MED40" stands for:

M = Engine

E = Electronics

D = Direct injection

4 = 4 cylinder

0 = generation 0

The whole engine management is contained in the ME-SFI control unit. Sensor data are read in directly by the engine management and i directly via the CAN network and the respective actuators are actuated. Here the individual functions and systems of the engine management are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI control unit.

The engine management is subdivided into the following systems:

Basic functions 

IMPORTANTDiagnosis 

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

IMPORTANTFlash programming 

Engine management in the ME-SFI control unit is flashable. The ME-SFI control unit's software can be exchanged (replaced) using a vehicle diagnosis system. The software required for programming can be found on the diagnosis software DVD.

IMPORTANTTransport mode 

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

If the vehicle's kilometer reading is more than 250 km, the "transport mode" system status is deactivated automatically and cannot be reactivated anymore using the vehicle diagnosis system.

IMPORTANTVariant coding 

The vehicle model, national version, exhaust variant and transmission version, for example, can be coded with the variant coding.

Engine system 

Fuel injection system 

Ignition system 

Exhaust system 

Exhaust gas cleaning, exhaust gas recirculation (with code 920 (gasoline direct injection with stratified charge)) 

IMPORTANT For optimization of the exhaust noise behavior of the exhaust system there is an electrically actuated exhaust flap installed on the left rear muffler.

This is actuated by the left exhaust gas flap actuator motor in a load-dependent manner and via a characteristics map of the respective drive program by the powertrain control unit. For the left exhaust gas flap actuator motor, a separate software is stored in the powertrain control unit that allows for a gradual opening.

IMPORTANTHomogeneous operation 

In homogeneous mode an homogeneous combustible fuel/air mixture (λ = 1) is generated within the whole combustion chamber. There are no further measures required for exhaust gas aftertreatment since the normal three-way catalytic converter adequately converts the pollutants.

IMPORTANT During stratified operation, a combustible mixture (λ = 1) is present only in the vicinity of the spark plug while various lambda values are present in the remaining combustion chamber. This varies from pure intake air through to exhaust gases from the EGR. Thus fuel consumption in stratified operation is less than that in homogeneous mode. Due to the excess air that consists of up to 75% of nitrogen, NO x development in stratified operation is significantly higher than in homogeneous injection operation. This requires use of a NOx storage catalytic converter.

In homogeneous stratified operation, more favorable exhaust emission values can be achieved above 4 bar injection pressure than in pure stratified charge operation. It also allows injection pressure of up to above 7 bar, which achieves significant savings in fuel consumption. Homogeneous stratified operation is a combination of the homogeneous/lean and classic stratified combustion system. In the process, for a non-derated engine, the first injection is injected in the intake stroke; the actual "stratified" injection takes place before ignition.
