Structure
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit housing is made out of diecast aluminum and the cover is made out corrosion-protected sheet steel. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is water and dust protected.
The inside contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine management.
Voltage supply
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is supplied with a power from "circuit 30 secured" and also for ignition ON from "circuit 87 M4".
In the operating voltage range it has both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection.
Power is supplied through several engaged parallel pins connected in parallel to relieve the electrical connections.
Ground connection
The "circuit 31" ground connection is made via several ground lines to the left major assembly compartment electronics ground point (W16/5).
Variants
The variants of the engine management, for exampled country and exhaust variants, are activated with XD over the variant coding.
Exchange of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is not necessary.
