Engine timing start-stop function - GF07.10-P-1041MMO
ENGINE 276.9 in MODEL 212.095 up to model year 2014
The Start-Stop function is subdivided into the engine side, the 12-V on-board electrical system side and the hybrid system side scopes. The partial function "engine timing Start-Stop function" is considered and described from the point of view of the engine timing for the internal combustion engine.
Information for partial function "Energy management start/stop function" for the 12-V on-board electrical system is documented in the function description "Energy management function".
Information about the partial functions "automatic engine start function" and "automatic engine stop function" from the point of view of the hybrid system can be found over the function description "driving operation function".
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) continuously performs an SD and assesses the function requirements for the start/stop function. All of the systems participating in the function continuously check their status and transmit this via the Control Area Network (CAN) network to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.
If the function requirements are fulfilled, the driver is notified of readiness to operate of the hybrid system from the green "READY" symbol in the multifunction display (A1p13) in the instrument cluster (A1).
Additional information about the required releases for the Start-Stop function are described in the following documents:
- Automatic engine stop, function
- Automatic engine start, function
Function requirements for engine timing, start/stop function, general points
- Engine hood closed
- Hybrid system "READY" (green or yellow)
- No Crash event occurred in the driving cycle
- System diagnosis complete and fault-free
engine timing, start/stop function, general points
Conventional switching off of the internal combustion engine in request by the driver over the electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) is still possible.
Conventional starting of the internal combustion engine is requested by the driver. The internal combustion engine will only be started however it is necessary from the point if view of system optimization.
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit reads in the following sensors and signals for the Start-Stop function:
- Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)
- Accelerator pedal sensor (B37), accelerator pedal operation
- Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), engine speed
- Fuel system control unit (N118), fuel pressure via drive train CAN (CAN C)
engine timing, start/stop function, function sequence
The start/stop function consists of the following partial functions:
- Function sequence for automatic engine stop
- Function sequence for automatic engine start
The automatic engine stop in hybrid vehicles is equivalent to electrical driving mode driving.
Additional function requirements for an automatic engine stop
- Hybrid system "READY" (green)
- Internal combustion engine running
- Vehicle speed < 160 km/h
- Transmission oil temperature > 0°C
The function requirements "internal combustion engine running" includes all function sequences of the fuel low pressure and high-pressure circuit, as described in the function "fuel supply".
Function sequence for automatic engine stop
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit makes the request via the drive train CAN to the fully integrated transmission control unit (Y3/8n4) for actuation of the wet clutch in order to disconnect the internal combustion engine from the drive. The fully integrated transmission control unit transmits appropriate feedback over the opened wet clutch to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.
Additional information concerning actuation of the wet clutch is described in the following document:
- Wet clutch, function
The internal combustion engine is switched off by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit if all releases and system conditions of the systems participating in the function are fulfilled.
More precise information about automatic engine stop related to the HD is described in the following document:
- Automatic engine stop, function
Additional function requirements for an automatic engine start
- Hybrid system "READY" (green or yellow)
- Internal combustion engine OFF
Function sequence for automatic engine start
An automatic engine start is initiated if the vehicle needs energy for the traction which cannot be delivered purely electrically or changes in system conditions require starting of the internal combustion engine.
Start of the internal combustion engine takes place according to the specifications of the aggregate coordinator interface in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit:
- Over the electrical machine (A79/1) (at vehicle standstill) requested via the hybrid CAN (CAN L) from the power electronics control unit (N129/1)
- Over the starter (M1) (e.g. in electrical driving mode)
In electrical driving mode the internal combustion engine is always first started for an opened wet clutch always over the starter up to a certain rotational speed.
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit subsequently requests actuation of the wet clutch via the drive train CAN from the fully integrated transmission control unit in order to connect the internal combustion engine with the transmission.
Additional information concerning actuation of the wet clutch is described in the following document:
- Wet clutch, function
After receiving the respective feedback on the closed wet clutch, the powertrain control unit requests actuation of the electrical machine (A79/1) via hybrid CAN from the power electronics control unit in order to start the internal combustion engine.
More precise information about automatic engine start related to the HD is described in the following document:
- Automatic engine start, function
The automatic engine start preferably takes place in a vehicle standstill condition over the electrical machine.
The internal combustion engine is started over the starter in a vehicle standstill condition if the charge level of the high-voltage battery (A100g1) is not adequate.
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit actuates the following components to start the internal combustion engine:
- Starter
- Ignition coils (T1)
- Fuel injectors (Y76)
- Fuel pump (M3), directly and via the drive train CAN via the fuel system control unit (N118)
Precise information about starting the internal combustion engine with the starter is described in the following document:
