Gasoline injection and ignition system ME-SFI, general 

The ME gasoline injection and ignition system in electrical combination with the sensors and actuators of engine 281 forms the engine management "ME17.720".

The short designation "ME17.720" stands for:

M = Engine 

= lectronic accelerator pedal

17.7.20  = version

The whole engine management is contained in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit. Sensor data is directly read in from the engine management and indirectly via the interior CAN and actuates the control actuators as required. Here the individual functions and systems of the engine management are controlled and coordinated by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

The following table shows the model and major assembly overviews for engine 281.910 (with intake manifold injection and charging by a ATL):

The engine management is subdivided into the following systems:

Base functions 

IMPORTANT For diagnostic purposes, the fault codes of the engine management system can be read out and deleted using Xentry Diagnostics, and individual diagnostic functions can be specifically actuated.

IMPORTANT In transport mode various functions of the engine management are limited. Further information are available in the energy management function. If the kilometer reading of the vehicle is more than 250 km, the system condition "vehicle transport mode" is automatically deactivated and can also not be reactivated anymore using the diagnostic system.

IMPORTANT The ME-SFI [ME] control unit exchanges data with other control units via the attached interior CAN.

IMPORTANT The engine management in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is flashable, that is the complete software in the control unit can be replaced using the Xentry diagnosis (replaced). The software required for control unit programming can be found on the diagnosis system software DVD.

IMPORTANT With variant coding the following vehicle versions and equipment can, for example, be coded using XENTRY Diagnostics:

Engine system 

Fuel injection system 

Ignition system 

Exhaust system 

IMPORTANT Homogeneous mode (M281 intake manifold injection with homogeneous mode)

In homogeneous mode an homogeneous combustible fuel/air mixture (λ=1) is generated within the whole combustion chamber. There are no further measures required for exhaust aftertreatment since the normal catalytic converter (three-way catalytic converter) adequately converts the pollutants.
