Starting, Function - GF07.10-S-1001TRC

Engine 274 in model 447, 448 

except code XM0 (Facelift) 

Starting function requirements, general points 

Starting, general points 

For starting, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) reads in signals from the following assembly parts:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) actuates the following assembly parts to start the engine:

The ME-SFI [ME} control unit (N3/34) coordinates for starting the injection and firing order from the signals of the crankshaft Hall sensor (B70/2), of intake camshaft Hall sensor (B6/29) and the exhaust camshaft Hall sensor (B6/30).

The starter control in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) takes on actuation and cutout of the starter (M1).

Function sequence for start 

The starter control is subdivided into the following points:

Function sequence for start begin 

Through turning the transmitter key (A8/1) into start position the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) receives the signal "circuit 50' via chassis CAN (CAN E) from electronic ignition lock control unit (EZS) (N73).

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) actuates the circuit 50 starter relay (K40/10kM) with a ground signal. The power contact on the starter relay circuit 50 (K40/10kM) closes and the solenoid switch for the starter (M1) is supplied with a voltage at "circuit 50" from "circuit 30".

Function sequence for start end (with automatic transmission) 

Starter control is carried out automatically by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34). This means that once the start process is initiated, switching off "circuit 50" will have no further influence on the start procedure. When reaching an engine cranking speed of 400 up to 700 rpm and a starting time of approx. 5 to 40 seconds (dependent on the coolant temperature), the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) the negative activation to terminal 50 starter relay (K40/10kM) and therefore ends the starting procedure. The starting procedure can only be aborted by switching off the ignition.

IMPORTANT The starting procedure is inhibited for approximately 1.5 to 3 s before it can be repeated. This occurs so that the rotating pinion of the starter (M1) is prevented from meshing with the toothing on the engine clutch plate (ring gear protection).

IMPORTANT If the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/34) recognizes from the crankshaft Hall sensor (B70/2) and from the signal "terminal 61 ON" engine running as well as from the signal "terminal 50 OFF", that the start process is ended, so the driver can control the injection quantity and thus the engine rpm over the accelerator pedal module (B37/4).
