System overview ME 7.0: Information

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

ME 7.0 is a further development of Motronic 4.4 and has similarities regarding sensors and their functions. ME 7.0. is on all B6304S, B6284T and B52X4T engines from model year 1999. The biggest new feature regards the communication between the ECM and other modules. Communication occurs via network.

The following modules communicate by ECM (Engine Control Module) via the network:

ETM (Electronic Throttle Module), see information pamphlet "Engine Management System Denso, ME 7.0, S70, V70, C70".
TCM (Transmission Control Module).
ABS (Antilock Braking System).
CEM (Central Electronic Module), Central computers in the network and shifts between the network's high speed section (250 kbps) and its low speed section (125 kbps).
The high speed section includes the following modules: ECM, ETM, TCM, ABS and also the CEM.
DLC, data link connector for connecting to VIDA.
DIM (Driver Information Module), combined instrument panel.
CCM (Climate Control Module).
SWM (Steering Wheel Module).

ME 7.0 contains a large number of sensors that operate according to the previously known principles and sends its information by analog signals to the ECM.

As applies to controlled components these also function to known principles, with a few exceptions. These exceptions are covered on the following references.
