Risk of death caused by coming into contact with high-voltage parts although ignition is turned off. - AS15.15-Z-0001-01A

After ignition is turned OFF, only disconnect the plug on the ECI power pack after first waiting for 3 minutes.

  • After ignition is OFF there is still a voltage of more than 48 V at plugs 9 and 16 on the ECI ignition system power pack. Remove plug from ECI power pack unit only after first waiting for 3 minutes. The voltage is then no longer dangerous because the capacitor has had time to discharge.
  • For safety reasons the 180 V may only be measured with the corresponding insulated measuring equipment and lines.

Notes on ignition circuit shutoff test - AH07.00-P-3004-03WA

Engine 113 

IMPORTANT The ignition circuit shutoff can only be carried out on engine 113. Switch off ignition circuit for not more than 20 seconds in order to pinpoint a fault. If an ignition circuit is switched off for more than 20 seconds, faults are stored in the fault memory (e.g. misfiring damaging TWC, O2 sensor upstream TWC). In this case, erase the fault memory.

IMPORTANT

In the case of the twin-spark ignition coil with kV pickup in ignition systems ME-SFI 2.1 and HFM-SFI, no measurement facility exists at the ignition coil using the kV pickup although a kV pickup is fitted. It is only possible to test the primary ignition circuit with adapter cable A.

3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Signal from pressure sensor downstream of throttle valve actuator
5 Fault setting conditions   
 
  • Short-circuit to positive/cable open-circuit
  • Fault when signal voltage greater than 4.8 V with ignition ON.
 
  • Short-circuit to ground
  • Fault when signal voltage less than 0.2 V with ignition ON.
 
  • Signal implausible
  • With the starter turning and at an engine speed up to 300 rpm, the signal must change (activity check). After starting, the difference in pressure between the pressure at ignition ON and a performance map is compared once in the driving cycle.
 
  • Plausibility
  • The signal may deviate only slightly from the performance map value. The stored performance map value is dependent on: throttle valve angle, engine speed, charge temperature and ambient pressure.
6 IMPORTANT In the event of a fault, power is reduced (emergency mode), as the pressure sensor downstream of the throttle valve actuator detects the engine load and thus provides the critical input signal for pressure control.
Pay attention to the blue color coding at the pressure sensor downstream of the throttle valve actuator.

4 Checked signal or status Pressure values for plausibility and comparison with stored performance map values.
5 Fault setting conditions  Fault when the pressure values are implausible in comparison with one another or the deviation from the performance map is too great.
In intake operation, the pressure difference between the ambient pressure and the pressure downstream of the air filter may not be as high.
With the throttle valve wide open, the pressure values from the pressure upstream and downstream of the throttle valve must be almost identical.
6 Check prerequisites

  • Check hose line to the pressure sensor upstream of the throttle valve actuator for leaks.
  • Check color coding of the pressure sensor. If the pressure sensors are swapped, the engine switches off after starting.
  • In the event of an error in the pressure value from the pressure sensor downstream of the throttle valve actuator (B28/7), no further tests are possible.

5 Fault setting conditions   
 
  • short-circuit to positive
  • The O 2 sensor voltage must not be higher than 1.08 V.
 
  • Sensor signal IMPLAUSIBLE
  • For an operational O 2 sensor (catalytic converter temperature greater than 600°C) the voltage must not be constantly 0.40 to 0.60 V and should be less than 0.2 V after about a 3 s deceleration fuel shutoff.
 
  • Plausibility
  • For a cold O 2 sensor the sensor voltage at the start must be between 0.06 V to 1.08 V.
6 Check prerequisites
  • Engine running
  • Calculated exhaust temperature greater than 200°C
  • Battery voltage higher than 11 V
  • No fault in O 2 sensor heater
  • O2 sensors operational
  • No high loading of the activated charcoal canister
  • No fault in air injection or secondary air
7 IMPORTANT The following electrical connection faults are detected by testing:
  • Interruption of the O 2 sensor signal ground
  • Shunt (high-ohmic short-circuit) and the resultant restricted voltage rise of the O 2 sensor signal
  • Short-circuit and shunt between the O 2 sensor lines.

If the sensor signal is too high when decelerating this could mean that fuel injectors are dripping or the switchover valve for the purge system is hanging open.
NOTES
If there is a short circuit of the O 2 sensor ground to +12 V the ME-SFI [ME] control unit will be destroyed!

  • No fault in O 2 sensor heater
  • Three-way catalytic converter temperature higher than 320°C
  • Fault in "O 2 sensor upstream of TWC aging, correction variable exceeded" must be detected at the assigned O 2 sensor upstream of TWC
7 IMPORTANT If the O 2 sensor downstream of TWC is so defective that the sensor voltage remains slightly under the regulating threshold then the lambda control is enriched to a maximum over TV Monitoring of the correction variable of the O2 sensor upstream of TWC then incorrectly detects a faulty O2 sensor upstream of TWC.
In order to exclude the possibility of this fault the sensor signal of the O2 sensor downstream of TWC is checked for sensor condition change after the fault entry "0 2 sensor downstream of TWC aging, correction variable exceeded".
If no sensor condition change is recognized the O2 sensor downstream of TWC is to be replaced.

  • Short-circuit to positive
  • The O2 sensor voltage must not be higher than 1.08 V.
 
  • Sensor signal IMPLAUSIBLE
  • For an operational O2 sensor (catalytic converter temperature greater than 600°C) the voltage must not be constantly 0.40 to 0.50 V and should be less than 0.2 V after about a 3 s deceleration fuel shutoff.
 
  • Plausibility
  • For a cold O2 sensor the sensor voltage at the start must be between 0.06 V to 1.08 V.
6 Check prerequisites
  • Engine running
  • Battery voltage higher than 11 V
  • O2 sensors operational
  • Catalytic converter temperature 320 to 850°C
7 IMPORTANT The following electrical connection faults are detected by testing:
  • Interruption of the O2 sensor signal ground
  • Shunt (high-ohmic short-circuit) and the resultant restricted voltage rise of the O2 sensor signal
  • Short-circuit and shunt between the O2 sensor lines.

NOTES

5 Fault setting conditions   
  Limit of correction variable About ± 1.0 second (± TV )
6 Checking duration 190 s
7 Check prerequisites
  • Engine speed approx. 1200 to 2100 rpm
  • Load approx. 21 up to 63%
  • Lambda controls enabled
  • No fault in O2 sensor heater
  • Three-way catalytic converter temperature higher than 320°C
  • No high loading of the activated charcoal canister
  • No effect of a fault on the catalytic converter
  • No CAN fault
8 IMPORTANT
  • If faults are recognized at the same time for the O2 sensor upstream and downstream of the TWC it is generally just the O2 sensor downstream of the TWC which is defective.

If the O2 sensor downstream of TWC is so defective that the sensor voltage remains slightly under the regulating threshold then the lambda control is enriched over T V . Monitoring of the correction variable of the O2 sensor upstream of TWC then also incorrectly detects a faulty O2 sensor upstream of TWC.
  • If the correction variable for the O2 sensor upstream of TWC is exceeded, monitoring of the O2 downstream TWC continues.

Scheme for two-sensor control 

For engine 275 and 285, a catalytic converter and lambda control are assigned to each cylinder bank.

Check procedure 

The engine control unit determines the lambda mean value from signals from the O2 sensors downstream of TWC. This value is compared with a stored value for optimum exhaust emissions.

If the deviation is too large after a number of measurements, a correction variable (time delay ± TV )is determined for the lambda control.

The correction variable (value for new O2 sensor approx. 0) makes it possible to compensate for aging of the O2 sensor upstream of TWC within certain limits. If the correction variable exceeds the limit value, the O2 sensor upstream of the TWC must be replaced.

In addition, allowance is made for the period of the signal supplied by the sensor upstream of TWC. If no sensor state change takes place, the lambda control is not active and therefore a two-sensor control is not possible either.

IMPORTANT The effect of the firewall catalytic converters is monitored based on the O2 sensor signals downstream of the TWC.

    The internal resistance of Nernst cells must be within tolerance for the specified exhaust and catalytic converter temperature.

  • If, in addition to this the faulty voltage supply for O2 sensor heating is stored, then the voltage supply should be checked first (connector, line, fuse).

If O2 sensor heating is faulty, check:
  1. Check connector, line and fuse.
  2. For a short circuit to ground: measure the resistor between the O2 sensor housing and the sensor heater (connection 1 or 2). If value less than 100 Ω, replace the O2 sensor.
  3. For a short circuit to battery voltage: check the cold resistance (+25°C) of the sensor heater between connection 1 and 2. If less than approx. 4.5 Ω, replace O2 sensor.
  4. For line discontinuity: check the cold resistance (+25°C) of the sensor heater between connection 1 and 2. If greater than approx. 12 Ω, replace O2 sensor.

NOTES Use of cleaning or greasing fluids (sprays) and evaporating greases on the O2 sensor or on the screw-in thread is not permissible. The screw-in thread must only be lubricated with the released grease.
Broaching of the sensor lines is not permissible.

  • Engine speed change less than 1000 rpm per second
  • Load change less than 125% per second
  • No cylinder-selective inertia fuel shutoff active
  • No deceleration fuel shutoff.
7 IMPORTANT If too many misfires occur at a cylinder, the cylinder is cut off (cylinder selective fuel shutoff).
Misfires through faults in the ECI ignition system 
If ignition does not take place misfiring occurs. If in addition to misfiring faults there are also ECI faults stored, then start the troubleshooting
Begin ECI ignition system.
ECI faults are not, however, always stored at the same time. If a cylinder does not fire (compare current ion current signals) then check line with the ignition trigger signals between ECI ignition module and ME-SFI [ME] control unit for discontinuity.
Misfires due to fuel starvation 
If combustion misfires are recognized, another fault code P203A (P0460) is output if the level in the fuel tank is too low. This information indicates combustion misfires due to fuel starvation.
A lack of fuel pressure can be the cause (e.g. if the fuel filter is clogged, fuel pump, fuel pump control unit or fuel pressure sensor defective).
Misfiring because of miscellaneous causes 
Combustion misfires may be caused by many faults in the injection system. Usually in this case other component or function faults are stored, in addition to the misfire fault.
The cause may also be due to faults in the engine mechanics.

Combustion misfires may be caused by many faults in the injection system. Usually in this case other component or function faults are stored, in addition to the misfire fault.
The cause may also be due to faults in the engine mechanics.

4 Checked signal or status Comparison of amplitude of the O2 -sensor signal downstream of TWC with the characteristic map value
5 Fault setting conditions   
  Limit value The amplitude of the O2 sensor signal downstream of the TWC must not be greater than 40 % more than the respective characteristic map value
  Checking duration Approx. 30 seconds
6 Check prerequisites
  • Engine speed approx. 1200 to 1900 rpm
  • Load approx. 22 to 55%

  Checking duration A maximum of 30 s for testing for major and minor leakages
At least 50 seconds for checking for a micro leak
6 Check prerequisites
  • Vehicle stationary
  • Engine idling
  • Air pressure more than approx. 750 hPa (i.e. no test is performed above a height of approx. 2500 meters)
  • Coolant temperature less than 101°C
  • Charge air temperature of -1°C to +80°C
  • Drive position "D" or "R" is engaged
  • Low loading of activated charcoal canister
  • Locking time after cold start elapsed (approx. 17 minutes) or mixture adaptation takes place
  • Fuel in the fuel tank sloshing about excessively (inadmissible pressure surges) is recognized by the fuel tank pressure sensor (B4/3) and the test is terminated
  • Lambda control and mixture adaptation enabled
  • Air injection not active
  • Fuel level in fuel tank of 30 to 90%
  • No fault in activated charcoal canister shut-off valve
  • No fault in fuel tank pressure sensor
  • No fault in purge switchover valve function (opening/closing)
  • Battery voltage higher than 11 volts.
7 IMPORTANT
  • The test for minor and micro leaks is aborted if an excessive lean correction of the lambda closed-loop control takes place during the vacuum buildup.
  • Operation of the purge control valve (Y58/1) is checked at the same time as it is actuated.

    If the closed valve jams or it is blocked, a gross leak fault is stored.

  • In the case of a gross leak the display in the instrument cluster shows "Tank cap missing" and the fuel reserve display flashes.
  • If the activated charcoal canister shut-off valve jams open the fault major leak or fuel tank cap missing is stored.
  • In the event of faults, check all hose lines (it hisses clearly with a leak in excess of 3 mm in size)
  • The tests are not inhibited if there is an implausible fill level resulting from a faulty fuel gage sensor.

Any checks for leaks must be capable of detecting leaks from as small as 0.5 mm in the purge system. To do this a pressure test is carried out with the engine idling and with the vehicle stationary

Testing takes place in three stages:

  • Test for major leaks
  • Test for a minor leak (equal to or greater than 1 mm)
  • Test for a micro leak (equal to or greater than 0.5 mm)

Test for major leaks 

The activated charcoal canister shut-off valve (Y58/4) is closed and the purge control valve (Y58/1) opened. The intake manifold vacuum flows to the fuel tank and a vacuum builds up in the fuel tank. This is detected by the fuel tank pressure sensor (B4/3).

If there is no vacuum build-up in the fuel tank (approx. -6 mbar within approx. 15 seconds), there is a major leak (e.g. fuel tank cap open, loose hose line). The diagnosis is terminated and the fault major leak in purge system is stored.

IMPORTANT If the ME-SFI [ME] control unit recognizes a major leak in the system, the fuel reserve warning lamp in the instrument cluster flashes and "CHECK FILLER CAP" appears in the multifunction display.

Test for a minor leak 

The purge control valve (Y58/1) is closed once a certain vacuum exists (approx. -6 mbar). The system is now likewise closed. The vacuum is them measured for approx. 30 seconds. It must not drop any faster than 0.3 to 0.5 mbar per second (depending on the level of fuel in the tank). If the vacuum drops more rapidly, there is a minor leak.

Check for micro leakage 

If no minor leak has been detected, the purge system is briefly enabled and a vacuum of approx. -6 mbar is built up again. The vacuum must not drop any faster than 0.1 to 0.15 mbar per second for a closed system (depending on the level of fuel in the tank).

The reduction in the vacuum depends on the fill level in the fuel tank and on the degassing of the fuel. Degassing of the fuel is measured for a short time prior to the test and is allowed for in the fault statement. No test is conducted during the driving cycle if the fuel tank is filled to less than 30 %.

The activated charcoal canister shut-off valve (Y58/4) is reopened after the tests have been conducted.

3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Actuation of actuator motor, close throttle vale direction
5 Fault setting conditions  Current at actuator motor greater than 4 A on many occasions for longer than 1 s.
6 Check prerequisites
  • Throttle valve angle smaller than 12° (position for mechanical actuator limp-home mode)
  • Battery voltage between 8 and 17 V
7 IMPORTANT If the throttle valve jams, adjustment errors can occur at small throttle valve angles and thus safety fuel shutoff or throttle valve actuator mechanical emergency mode is requested. To prevent this, emergency mode is started temporarily with the following functions:
  • The specified throttle valve angle is adapted (throttle valve can stay open)
  • The engine torque is corrected by ignition angle adaptation
  • The idle speed control is switched off
  • Emergency mode is switched off when the voltage at the actuator motor is OK again.

If a temperature below -30°C is stored in the freeze frame data, the throttle valve may also have jammed due to the formation of ice.
Delete fault if there are no complaints about the engine running and no further faults are stored.

  Short circuit to ground/open circuit Fault if signal 1 is less than 0.176 V or signal 2 is less than 0.118 V.
6 Check prerequisites
  • Engine speed greater than 1400 rpm
7 IMPORTANT Both actual value potentiometers work in opposite directions.
In the event of a fault at an actual value potentiometer, "Actuator-Emergency Mode-electrical" is selected and the vehicle continues with the other potentiometer. To establish which potentiometer is OK, a comparison of the throttle valve angle with the intake manifold pressure and pedal value sensor position is performed. The throttle valve angle is restricted at "Actuator-Emergency Mode-electrical".
In the event of a fault at actual value potentiometers, the throttle valve actuator is switched without power and safety fuel shutoff is activated. In doing so, an engine speed of approx. 1300 rpm is achieved by switching the injectors on and off (noticeably surging engine operation).

  Checking duration approx. 10 seconds
6 Check prerequisites
  • Engine speed between 1000 up to 4000 rpm
  • Engine load less than 44%
7 IMPORTANT
  • The "Spark Plug a or b" fault only appears alone for approx. 3000 to 5000 km. After this distance is covered, the spark plug damage is then so great that misfirings are also detected for the respective cylinder.
  • If large differences are detected at the spark plugs of a cylinder the spark plug with the small ionic current signal is defective or extremely carbon-fouled. If, after replacing the affected spark plug, the ionic current signal is at zero, the ignition coil is faulty and the corresponding ignition module must be replaced.
  • In the event of smoke traces (spark gaps) at the ignition coil seals, the insulation resistance is too low and the ionic current signal small. Replace respective ECI ignition module since the ignition coils are predamaged due to the spark gap.

NOTES
To prevent damage to the die-cast housing, only remove and install the ECI ignition modules according to the instructions!
Replace the seals at the spark plug connectors each time the ignition modules are removed or installed.

5 Fault setting conditions   
  Boost pressure too low/too high Deviation from the performance map value to large
6 Check prerequisites
  • no fault in pressure sensor
  • boost pressure control adapted
7 IMPORTANT
  • the closed throttle is closed at an excessively high boost pressure to protect the turbocharger.

Causes for an excessively low boost pressure could be: 
  • Leaky charge air ducting
  • Charge air temperature greater than 70°C due to air in the low temperature cooling circuit or a fault in actuation of the charge air cooler circulation pump
  • Boost pressure control pressure transducer (Y31/5) has a short circuit to minus or line discontinuity, boost pressure control pressure transducer is defective
  • Hose line to pressure sensor upstream of throttle valve actuator (B28/6) leaky
  • Deceleration air valve leaky due to cracked membrane (leak test)
  • Turbocharger blocked or sluggish, e.g. due to a foreign object in the compressor housing. If a turbocharger stops then the boost pressure will fall over this unit.
  • Boost pressure control valve (wastegate) does not close, e.g. due to a loose or bent control rod. If the boost pressure control valve on a turbocharger is hanging open then there complaint of a loss of performance when driving off.
  • Air filter dirty
  • Altitude or pressure sensor for ambient pressure in engine control unit defective
  • Fuel grade inadequate (RON 98 required).

Causes for an excessively high boost pressure could be: 
  • Electrical line to boost pressure control pressure transducer (Y31/5) has a short circuit to positive
  • Leaky or switched around hose lines between charge air cooler, boost pressure control pressure transducer and vacuum cell
  • Boost pressure control valve (wastegate) jammed closed
  • Control rods to the boost pressure control valves (wastegate) loose.

  1. Differences to the other model series:
    • Installation of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) in the cover for the front fuse and relay module. The construction form of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit was adapted appropriately (housing made out of die-casting).
    • ME-SFI [ME] control unit with gateway function between the drive train CAN (CAN-C) and the chassis CAN (CAN-B)
    • LIN interface between the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and alternator (G2).
    • The camshaft Hall sensor, left cylinder bank (B6/2) is no longer needed.
    • Fuel pump control unit (N118) is a CAN subscriber and can be diagnosed. Fuel pressure specification is by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit to the fuel pump control unit.
  2. Up to 02/2006 installed (ME-SFI 2.7.1)
  3. From model refinement 3/2006 with ME-SFI 2.7.2 installed:
    • Camshaft Hall sensor, left cylinder bank is no longer needed.
  4. Changes for ME-SFI 2.7.2:
    • Intank fuel pump (M3/1) is no longer needed.
  5. The fuel pump (M3) with 3 windings is actuated by the fuel pump control unit phase shifted.
  6. Changes for ME-SFI 2.7.2 from 01.12.06:
    • Fuel pressure sensor (B4/7) is now measuring in absolute terms and possesses a new connection assignment.
    • The fuel pump control unit was adapted.
  7. Changes for ME-SFI 2.7.2 from 01.09.2006:
    • Fuel pump control unit is a CAN subscriber and can be diagnosed. Fuel pressure specification is by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit to the fuel pump control unit.
    • The signal from the fuel pressure sensor is read in by the fuel pump control unit.
    • Fuel system pressure constant at about 3.8 bar. For a "hot start" the fuel system pressure is increased to about 5 to 5.5 bar.
    • Camshaft Hall sensor, left cylinder bank is no longer needed.
    • A stronger fuel pump (about 20 mm longer) is installed
  8. Changes for ME-SFI 2.7.2 from 01.09.2006:
    • In order to control the duel pumps the ME-SFI [ME] control unit detects the current fuel pressure via the fuel pressure sensor and sends a PWM signal (pulse width modulated signal) signal representing the current fuel requirements to the fuel pump control unit. This evaluates the PWM signal and actuates the Fuel pump. The system pressure is then regulated between 4 and 5.5 bar.
    • Fuel tank has a pressure relief valve (about 5.2 bar).
    • Camshaft Hall sensor, left cylinder bank is no longer needed.

  • To avoid damage to control unit connect and disconnect the two connectors on control unit only when ignition is switched off.
  • Terminal 1 of ignition coils must not be short-circuited to GND, e.g. as anti-theft protection.
  • Install only original ignition system components.
  • Do not operate ignition system at starting speed unless all of the ignition cables are connected.
  • No tests such as holding ignition cable 4 at a distance to GND, unplugging a spark plug connector or pulling cable 4 out of the ignition coils, may be performed at starting speed or when the engine is running.
  • Every high voltage circuit must be loaded with at least 2 kΩ (spark plug connector).
  • If it is necessary to test the ignition spark when providing roadside assistance, this must only be done with a spark plug at a cylinder ignition cable. Ensure that the spark plug has good contact to ground.
  • Before working at cranking speed, e.g. checking compression pressure, switch off ignition and disconnect connector "2" from control unit.

IMPORTANT Engine 120 has two fuel injection and ignition systems.

Use of testers 

  • Only connect and disconnect secondary measuring sensor to corresponding ignition cables when vertical engine and ignition are switched off.
  • If the shot-circuit protection is operated (cylinder comparison) and the engine stays upright, it is not possible to conduct the test with this test instrument.
  • Do not connect test lamp to ignition coil terminals 1 and 15.

Engine 137, 275, 285 

Engine 137, 275, 285 with ignition system ECI 

It is not possible to test the ignition sparks for example during a roadside assistance on this ignition system.

It is only possible to determine faults in the ignition system through read out of diagnostic trouble code memory by means of STAR DIAGNOSIS.

The separation of electrical connectors at components of ignition system can only take place after switching off the ignition.

To avoid damage, the ignition must not be switched on without ground supply at power supply unit ECI (N91). A sufficient ground supply can only be assured, if the power supply unit ECI (N91) is bolted to the intake manifold (1).
