Overrun Mode Fuel Shutoff, Function - GF07.10-P-1014KJ

ENGINE 281.910 in MODEL 453.0/3/4 

Function requirements for deceleration fuel shutoff, general points 

Deceleration fuel shutoff, general 

Deceleration fuel shutoff in deceleration mode of the engine has the following tasks:

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) performs a deceleration fuel shutoff depending on the following signals:

Deceleration fuel shutoff, function sequence 

In decel mode the ME-SFI [ME] control unit switches off cylinder 1 injection valve (Y62/1) to cylinder 3 injection valve (Y62/3) dependent on the coolant temperature, the engaged gear and the engine rpm, if the accelerator pedal is not depressed.

The injection valves are switched on again when the accelerator pedal is actuated.

If the clutch pedal is actuated the deceleration fuel shutoff is broken off or suppressed.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit also adjusts the intake camshaft into a position with reduced valve overlap by means of the variable camshaft position valve (Y49/10). This allows secure combustion without misfires.

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

In order to prevent any sudden torque rise when combustion starts up again following deceleration fuel shutoff, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit adjusts the ignition angles of the cylinders 1 ignition coil (T1/1) to cylinders 3 ignition coil for (T1/3)) briefly towards "retarded".

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 so generated can overheat of the catalytic converter.
