MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08
Function requirements, general
- Circuit 61 OFF (engine OFF)
The circuit status of circuit 61 is made available on the chassis CAN (CAN E) by the CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine) and forwarded by the central gateway control unit (N93) to the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) via the interior CAN (CAN B).
Special feature of hybrid cars:
The circuit status of circuit 61 continues to be output at automatic engine stop (engine OFF).
Engine off energy management, general
Engine off energy management ensures the stability of the on-board electrical system and the starting capability of the vehicle when the engine is off.
This functionality is integrated in the front SAM control unit and serves to extend the service life of the on-board electrical system battery (G1). To this end, active electrical consumers may be switched off.
Engine off energy management comprises the following subfunctions:
- Consumer shutoff function sequence
- No-load current management function sequence
- Function sequence of remote charging/jump start
Additional function requirements for consumer shutoff
D Circuit 15 ON or Circuit 15R ON
D On-board electrical system emergency mode not active
The circuit status of circuit 15 is provided on the interior CAN by the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73).
Consumer shutoff function sequence
When the on-board electrical system voltage falls below U = 12.2 V, the consumer shutoff function is activated under the following conditions:
- Engine OFF (circuit 61 OFF)
- Change from circuit 15 ON to circuit 15R ON
Given constant shutoff conditions, one consumer will be shut off every t = 5 s in addition to the consumer reduction from the engine on energy management function. The shutoff sequence is shown in the table below.
The list includes those consumers whose power supply is reduced or shut off as part of the "engine on" energy management function.

Even when the on-board electrical system voltage is stabilized at a value above U = 12.2 V, consumer shutoff is not revoked. Power is only returned to the shutoff consumers following a reset, which is performed by turning the transmitter key (A8/1) to circuit 15C.
Additional function requirements for no-load current management
- Transition from circuit 15R to circuit 15C
The EZS control unit sends the status of circuit 15 via the interior CAN to the front SAM control unit.
No-load current management function sequence
No-load current management ensures the starting capability of the vehicle. No-load current management is integrated in the front SAM control unit and serves to extend the service life of the on-board electrical system battery.
The no-load status is assumed with circuit 15 OFF and with vehicle locked t = 5 min or with vehicle unlocked t = 30 min after the last action or actuation.
To this end, power may be cut off to the consumers on circuit 30g through actuation of the no-load current shutoff relay (F32k2). No-load current management tolerates an increase in energy consumption for a certain time period (e.g. t = 75 min.). This allows, for example, the radio to be played while the car is being washed.
Following a period of t = 6 h, or as soon as the on-board electrical system's voltage values drop below certain limits and compromise the starting capability of the vehicle, the extended run-on monitoring function initiates the following actions:
- Open no-load current shutoff relay
- Activate no-load current shutoff via Controller Area Network (data bus/CAN Bus) (CAN)
No-load current management comprises the following subfunctions:
- No-load current shutoff function sequence
- No-load current diagnosis function sequence
- No-load current reference value/residual-load current evaluation (production only, at end of line), function sequence
No-load current shutoff function sequence
The no-load current shutoff function comprises the following subfunctions:
- Request consumer shutoff function sequence
- Shut off consumers function sequence
- Energize consumers function sequence
Request consumer shutoff function sequence
During the transition from circuit 15R to circuit 15C, the vehicle changes to the "vehicle rest" operating state. The timer counting down to no-load current shutoff is then started (waiting time t = 6 h).
The no-load current is continuously monitored by the battery sensor (B95).
If the no-load current is too high, the no-load current shutoff relay will be opened after t = 75 min.
The data from the battery sensor is read in and evaluated by the front SAM control unit via the on-board electrical system LIN (LIN B7). If during the waiting time the on-board electrical system voltage falls to U < 12.2 V, the no-load current shutoff relay will be opened early.
With U < 12.2 V, the battery sensor will go into sleep mode (reduced power consumption).
At t = 5 min after circuit 15 OFF with vehicle unlocked or after t = 30 min with vehicle locked, the front SAM control unit sends a shutoff signal to the appropriate control units via the interior CAN as advanced notification before the no-load current shutoff relay is opened.
This shutoff signal is relevant to all control units receiving power via circuit 30g.

If the interior CAN, drive train CAN, diagnostic CAN (CAN D), chassis CAN and central CAN are in "sleep mode" during signal transmission, the control units are woken up. The involved control units will then prepare themselves for power supply shutoff. Within t = 5 min., these control units will go into "power-down mode" (decentralized power management).
Shut off consumers function sequence
The central gateway control unit signals via the CAN that the wake-
Following a period of t = 5 min, no-load current management opens the no-load current shutoff relay, provided that no event causing closure of the relay (opening of the vehicle) has occurred in the meantime. The front SAM control unit sends the status of the no-load current shutoff relay via the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit receives this and makes it available to the other control units.
Energize consumers function sequence
When the system wakes up, no-load current management closes the no-load current shutoff relay and all functions are made available again.
The no-load current shutoff relay will open again following a waiting time of t = 6 h or if the on-board electrical system voltage falls to U < 12.2 V or if the no-load current is too high. If the front SAM control unit receives a wake-up signal, the no-load current management system closes the no-load current shutoff relay.
up conditions for the control units have been enabled again. Closing the no-load current shutoff relay causes power to again be supplied via circuit 30g.
The following conditions will trigger the closure of the no-load current shutoff relay:
- Circuit 15R switches on:
The waiting time timer is reset. The no-load current shutoff relay remains closed as long as the status of circuit 15R is ON.
- A door is unlocked or opened or circuit 15C is switched on:
The waiting time timer is reset.
- The hazard warning system, the standing or parking lights, or the signaling system on special-purpose vehicles is switched on:
The waiting time timer is reset.
- The anti-theft alarm system (ATA [EDW]) is activated (with code (551) Antitheft alarm system (ATA [EDW])):
The waiting time timer will be reset.
- The panic alarm is triggered (with code (763) Radio remote control with panic switch):
The waiting time timer will be reset.
No-load current diagnosis function sequence
No-load current diagnosis records data to help troubleshoot possible fault profiles.
The no-load current diagnosis function comprises the following subfunctions:
- Activate no-load current diagnosis function sequence
- Cancel/end no-load current diagnosis function sequence
Additional function requirements for Activate no-load current diagnosis
- Terminal 15R OFF
Activate no-load current diagnosis function sequence
Any of the following wake-up events will cause the battery sensor to start no-load current diagnosis via the on-board electrical system LIN:
- Increased no-load current following expiration of tolerance time of t = 75 min.
- On-board electrical system voltage values fall below limits and there has been a change in the kilometer reading since the last fault roll entry caused by undervoltage (also before expiration of tolerance time of t = 75 min.)
The first wake-up event causes an entry to be made in the no-load current information roll. The no-load current value is then monitored cyclically from that time on.
The values will be updated if there are significant changes or if the no-load current diagnosis is canceled.
The following data are stored in nonvolatile memory in the no-load current fault roll:
- No-load current value upon occurrence of wake-up event
- Maximum no-load current during no-load current fault phase
- Minimum no-load current during no-load current fault phase
- Voltage of on-board electrical system battery upon occurrence of wake-up event
- Voltage of on-board electrical system battery at end of no-load current fault phase
- Duration of no-load current fault phase (in minutes)
- Kilometer reading
- Consumer status
As long as no-load current diagnosis is active, each additional battery sensor wake-up event will cause the data record to be updated.
Additional function requirements for Cancel/end no-load current diagnosis
- Terminal 15R
- On-board electrical system voltage values fall below limits
Cancel/end no-load current diagnosis function sequence
No-load current diagnosis will be canceled if the on-board electrical system voltage values fall below the defined limits. The battery sensor will discontinue no-load current monitoring in order to minimize electricity consumption. Once this happens, no further entries will be added to the fault roll.
No-load current reference value/residual-load current evaluation (production only, at end of line), additional function requirements
- Terminal 30
No-load current reference value/residual-load current evaluation (production only, at end of line), function sequence
No-load current reference value measurement function sequence
The measurement of the no-load current reference value is started using the diagnostic tester at circuit 15R or higher. The message "Measure no-load current!" appears in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1). The diagnostic tester must then be removed and the vehicle locked so that the vehicle's no-load
After the vehicle has gone through production testing and possible runs on the test track, the no-load current has to be measured and an assessment made of the residual charging current of the onboard electrical system battery.
The no-load current-reference value/residual load current evaluation is comprised of the following subfunctions:
- No-load current reference value measurement function sequence
- Residual charging current assessment function sequence
current will quickly drop. The battery sensor will then sense and save the maximum no-load current level to occur following the locking of the vehicle.
After the vehicle is woken up, the battery sensor sends the measured no-load current value via the on-board electrical system LIN to the front SAM control unit, which then stores it as the no-load current reference value in nonvolatile memory.
The no-load current reference value can be read out using the diagnostic tester.
If the measured no-load current is within a defined tolerance range, the message in the multifunction display will disappear.
If the no-load current reference value is too high, a fault message will be shown in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster and measurement will begin again.
Residual charging current assessment function sequence
During production, charge is removed from the battery in the course of various function tests. The charge level of the on-board electrical system battery must therefore be assessed at the end of assembly. The charge level (ratio of current charge to the maximum storable charge in the on-board electrical system battery) serves as the measure for a sufficiently charged on-board electrical system battery. This value must be above 80%.
If the charge level is below 80%, a fault message will be shown in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster. Measurement of the residual charging current is only done following successful measurement of the no-load current reference value. As a rule, the two values are released together.
Function sequence of remote charging/jump start
If the on-board electrical system battery does not have enough capacity to start the engine, the on-board electrical system battery must be charged or a jump start carried out.
If with model 221.095/195 the power output of the high-voltage battery (A100g1) is extremely low (P < 8 kW) when the hybrid drive system is started, startability can be reestablished by means of energy transfer from the 12 V on-board electrical system to the high-voltage on-board electrical system. If an external charger is connected and, with the engine hood open, the DC/DC converter control unit measures a voltage of more than U = 12.8 V in the 12 V on-board electrical system, energy with a maximum output of P = 500 W is transferred via the on-board electrical system battery and the DC/DC converter control unit to the high-voltage on-board electrical system and the high-voltage battery is charged (only with circuit 15 ON).
