Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120, 156, 271
To avoid damage to control unit connect and disconnect the two connectors on control unit only when
ignition is switched off.
Terminal 1 of ignition coils must not be short-circuited to GND, e.g. as anti-theft protection.
Install only original ignition system components.
Do not operate ignition system at starting speed unless all of the ignition cables are connected.
No tests such as holding ignition cable 4 at a distance to GND, unplugging a spark plug connector or
pulling cable 4 out of the ignition coils, may be performed at starting speed or when the engine is
running.
Every high voltage circuit must be loaded with at least 2 kohms (spark plug connector).
If it is necessary to test the ignition spark when providing roadside assistance, this must only be done with
a spark plug at a cylinder ignition cable. Ensure that the spark plug has good contact to ground.
Before working at cranking speed, e.g. checking compression pressure, switch off ignition and disconnect
connector "2" from control unit.
Engine 120 has two fuel injection and ignition systems.
Use of testers
Only connect and disconnect secondary measuring sensor to corresponding ignition cables when vertical
engine and ignition are switched off.
If the shot-circuit protection is operated (cylinder comparison) and the engine stays upright, it is not
possible to conduct the test with this test instrument.
Do not connect test lamp to ignition coil terminals 1 and 15.

Spark plugs, location One or two spark plugs are
located in the cylinder head
per cylinder.

Spark plugs, task The spark plugs ignite the
suctioned and compressed
fuel-air mixture due to arcing
between the electrodes.

Spark plugs, design In the manufacturer's specific
type symbols, all the spark
plug features are assigned (e.
g. heat rating, shape of
seating, thread, width across
flats, electrode material,
spark position).

Spark plugs, function The ignition voltage travels
to the spark plugs from
directly connected ignition
coils or over the ignition
lines from the ignition coils
causing arcing in the air gap
between the center and
ground electrodes.

Ignition coils, function - GF15.10-P-3102-02A
Each spark plug is actuated separately via its own ignition coil by the ME control unit. Both ignition coils of a
cylinder are combined to form a dual ignition coil.
The ME control unit actuates the primary wirings (L1) of the double ignition coils at circuits 1a or 1b with
ground.
The primary current flow is interrupted at the moment of ignition timing point. As a result of the sudden
collapse of the magnetic field the ignition voltage is generated in the secondary windings (L2). The ignition
voltage flows through the high voltage connection (4a and 4b) and through the spark plug connector to the
respective spark plug (R4).
The voltage supply of the double ignition coils is protected at circuit 15 (a).
Diodes are built-in to suppress additional ignition sparks when the primary current is switched on.
Because of the diodes, it is not possible to measure the resistance in the secondary windings.

When the crankshaft is rotating, an alternating voltage is generated in the crankshaft position sensor by the teeth
of the driven plate. In this case, each tooth generates an alternating voltage signal. No voltage is generated
through the gap of 2 missing teeth. The ME-SFI control unit detects the TDC position of the crankshaft with the
2nd negative slope after the gap.
If the signal from the camshaft Hall sensor is at 0 V ("low") at this moment, the ME control unit processes this
in order to detect ignition TDC. This is used for actuating the ignition coils and the fuel injectors.
The high voltage is distributed rotorlessly. Advantages of the rotorless high voltage distribution are:
significantly reduced electromagnetic interference level (no naked sparks)
no rotating parts
reduction in noise
reduced high voltage connections.
1. Determine ignition angle according to input signals, actuate ignition coils and release ignition
spark.
The ME-SFI control unit essentially analyzes the following signals for determining the ignition angle:
Engine load
Crankshaft position sensor
Camshaft Hall sensor
Coolant temperature sensor
Intake air temperature sensor/charge air.
Coil ignition: The ME control unit interrupts at the point of ignition timing at the ground end the ignition
coil primary circuit of the ignition coil.
ECI ignition system (engine 137): The ME control unit actuates the output stages in the ECI ignition
modules.
The ignition angle can only be checked with the HHT/STAR DIAGNOSIS.

The ignition angle is continuously retarded for about 20 seconds in order to more rapidly warm up
the catalytic converter to its operating temperature if:
coolant temperature at start >15C and <40C
Selector lever position P or N
At the same time idle speed is increased by the idle speed control.
2. Idle speed
To assist the idle speed control, the ignition angle can be retarded by as much as 36 crank angle or
advanced by as much as 20 crank angle.
Altering the ignition angle provides a more rapid control than altering the position of the throttle
valve (idle speed control).
3. Deceleration fuel shutoff
The ignition angle is briefly retarded when combustion is resumed (fuel injectors actuated) in order
to prevent a sudden increase in torque.
4. Intake air temperature/coolant temperature
The ignition angle is retarded under load, as a function of the intake air temperature and coolant
temperature, in order to prevent any knocking tendency at high intake air and coolant temperatures.
The ignition angle is "Retarded" if:
Intake air temperature >35C
Coolant temperature >105C
In supercharged engines the charge air temperature is used as information for the ignition timing
adjustment in place of the intake air temperature.
The values of the retardation of the ignition angle of intake air temperature and coolant
temperature are added together.
5. Transmission overload protection
In order to protect the shift elements of the automatic transmission during power shifts (1-2-1, 2-3-
2) from excessive thermal stresses, the ignition angle is briefly retarded during the gearshift and the
engine torque reduced as a result. The ME-SFI control units are supplied with a signal for this
purpose from the ETC control unit (N15/3) over the CAN databus.
6. ESP/ASR control mode

ignition angle is retarded by the throttle valve actuator (opening angle reduced) prior to the control
mode being activated. The information from the ESP/ASR control unit is supplied over the CAN
databus to the ME-SFI control unit.
7. Anti-knock control (AKC)
If uncontrolled combustion (knocking) occurs at one or several cylinders, the ignition angle at the
relevant cylinder or cylinders is "Retarded".
8. Smooth engine running analysis
To restrain the three way catalytic converter from thermal overload through combustion misfiring
and in order to keep the exhaust emission values, the smooth operation of the engine is
continuously monitored.
If combustion misfiring is identified at one or several cylinders, the corresponding fuel injection
valves are no longer actuated after a certain number of misfires.
Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120: Smooth operation evaluation is performed through the signals
of the crankshaft position sensor. Engine 137: Identification of combustion misfiring by means of
ionic current signal, see ECI ignition system function.
9. Double ignition engine 112, 113, 137
Two spark plugs for each cylinder are beneficial because of the arrangement of the valves for
achieving optimal emission levels and smooth engine running.
Each spark plug is actuated separately by the ME-SFI control unit through its own ignition coil. On
engine 112, 113 both ignition coils of a cylinder are combined to form a dual ignition coil.
In the lower part load range up to approx. 2000 rpm both ignition sparks of a cylinder are triggered
simultaneously. At moderate and high engine loads, the ignition sparks are triggered offset by as
much as 10 crank angle. In this case,
The sequence of actuation is constantly varied in order to achieve a uniform wear of both spark
plugs and to avoid deposits on only one side of the combustion chamber.
For troubleshooting in the dual ignition system, it is possible to switch off one ignition circuit each
with HHT or STAR DIAGNOSIS.

When the crankshaft is rotating, an alternating voltage is generated in the crankshaft position sensor (L5) by the
teeth of the driven plate. In this case, each tooth generates an alternating voltage signal. No voltage is generated
as a result of the gap caused by 2 missing teeth. The ME-SFI control module detects the TDC position of the

crankshaft with the 2nd negative slope after the gap.
If the signal of the camshaft Hall sensor (B6/1) is at U Batt ("high") at this moment, the ME control module
processes this for detecting ignition TDC of cylinder 1. This is used for actuating the ignition coils and the fuel
injectors.
The high voltage is distributed rotorlessly. Advantages of the rotorless high voltage distribution are:
significantly reduced electromagnetic interference level (no naked sparks)
no rotating parts
reduction in noise
reduced high voltage connections.
1. Determining the ignition angle in line with the input signals, actuating ignition coils and triggering
ignition sparks.
For determining the ignition angle, the ME control module essentially analyzes the following signals
from:
Hot film mass air flow sensor
Crankshaft position sensor
Camshaft Hall sensor
Coolant temperature sensor
and interrupts the primary circuit of the ignition coil at the ground side at the moment of the ignition
timing point.
The ignition angle can only be tested with the STAR DIAGNOSIS.
2. Adaptation of ignition angle
1. Catalytic converter heating-up (warming-up)
The ignition angle is continuously retarded for about 20 seconds in order to more rapidly warm up
the catalytic converter to its operating temperature if:
coolant temperature at start >15C and <40C
selector lever position P or N
At the same time idle speed is increased by the idle speed control.
2. Idle speed
To assist the idle speed control, the ignition angle can be retarded by as much as 36 crank angle or
advanced by as much as 20 crank angle.

The control by altering the ignition angle reacts more rapidly than by altering the position of the
throttle valve (idle speed control).
3. Inertia fuel shutoff
The ignition angle is briefly retarded in order to prevent a sudden increase in torque when
combustion is resumed (actuation of fuel injectors).
4. Intake air temperature/coolant temperature
In order to prevent the knocking tendency at high inlet and coolant temperatures, the ignition angle
under load is retarded in line with the intake air temperature and coolant temperature. The ignition
angle is retarded if:
intake air temperature >35C
coolant temperature >105C
The values of the retardation of the ignition angle of intake air temperature and coolant
temperature are added together.
5. Transmission overload protection
In order to protect the shift elements of the automatic transmission from excessive thermal stresses
during powershifts (1-2-1, 2-3-2), the ignition angle is briefly retarded during the gearshift and the
engine torque is thus reduced. The ME-SFI control modules are supplied with a signal for this
purpose from the ETC control module (N15/3) over the CAN databus.
6. ESP/ASR control mode
In order to reduce the engine torque as rapidly as possible in the ESP/ASR control mode, the
ignition angle is retarded by the throttle valve actuator (opening angle reduced) before the
commencement of the control cycle. The information flows from the ESP/ASR control module
over the CAN databus to the ME control module.
7. Knock sensor system (KSS)
If uncontrolled combustion (knocking) occurs at one or several cylinders, the ignition angle is
retarded at the relevant cylinder or cylinders.
8. Smooth engine running analysis
Smooth engine running is constantly monitored in order to protect the catalytic converter from
excessive thermal stresses if combustion misfiring exists.
If the smooth engine running analysis detects combustion misfiring, the appropriate fuel injector or
injectors are no longer operated after a certain number of misfirings.

Task
Ensuring knock-free operation of the engine with different fuels in all operating conditions from idling speed up
to maximum speed of engine, from an engine load of more than approx. 40%. For this purpose, if uncontrolled
combustion (knocking) occurs, the ignition angle at the relevant cylinder or cylinders is retarded.

Design/function
The anti-knock control (AKC) function is integrated in the ME-SFI control unit. The range of functions has
been enlarged compared to previous versions.
Input signals:
Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
Camshaft position (camshaft Hall sensor)
Knock identification:
Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120 by means of knock sensors Engine 137 by ionic current
measurement
Engine temperature (coolant temperature sensor)
Engine load (hot film air flow sensor or pressure sensor on supercharged engines)
Accelerator pedal position (accelerator pedal sensor)
Precontrol by means of automatic RON switch (internal)
Output signals:
Cylinder specific ignition angle correction on the calculated map value of the ME control unit.
Ignition angle emergency mode if fault identified.
Basic function
The anti-knock control is active from a coolant temperature of 70C. If knocking is detected at a cylinder above
an engine load of approx. 40%, its ignition angle is retarded from the next ignition by about 2.3 crank angle
(e.g. M119) or by about 3.0 crank angle (e.g. M120). If knocking continues to be detected, the ignition angle is
continuously retarded in steps of 2.3 crank angle (e.g. M119) until the maximum retardation is reached
(approx. 10 to 15 crank angle, depending on engine speed). In addition, the automatic RON switch influences
the maximum retarding of the ignition timing - the higher the selected RON stage, the less is the maximum
retarding of the ignition timing.
If knocking-free combustion exists, the retardation is reduced in steps of approx. 0.75 crank angle after a few
ignitions (depending on engine speed) until the map value (a) is achieved, or knocking once again occurs.
Adaptation of anti-knock control
The adaptation of the anti-knock control is active from a coolant temperature of approx. 75C. Any corrections
required to the ignition angle because of knocking combustion are constantly detected for the specific cylinder
and stored together with the relevant operating state of the engine (engine load/speed range).
The stored adaptation value is taken into account in the output of the individual cylinder angle so that each
cylinder is immediately operated with the optimal ignition angle.

Friday, October 30, 2009 7:24:04 AM Page 31 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
During abrupt acceleration, no values are stored for about 2 seconds in order to avoid any incorrect adaptation
values.
Faults in the case of knocking detection
If no signals are received from the knock sensors or from the ionic
current measurement, the ignition angle of all the cylinders is retarded, for safety reasons, by as much as
approx. 11 crank angle depending on engine speed and temperature. The anti-knock control and the adaptation
are deactivated and a fault is stored.
Automatic RON switch
In addition to the RON correction using the HHT, the anti-knock control features an automatic RON switch.
This detects a persistent high knocking tendency of the engine and assists the anti-knock control by means of an
appropriate pre-control.
This is done by analyzing the stored adaptation values, the ignition angles of all the cylinders and the number of
control interventions in certain engine load and speed ranges. Depending on the threshold which has been
exceeded, the RON value is adjusted by one or several stages. The value is retained until the engine is switched
off. After engine start, only the RON correction which is carried out by means of the HHT/STAR DIAGNOSIS
is at first active.

Any vibrations which occur are converted with the aid of the piezo ceramic into electrical signals.
Piezo-electric effect: If a mechanical force acts on a crystal, electrical voltages are produced.
Knock sensor signals may also indicate engine damage, e.g. increased engine noise resulting from a widened
piston groove.

Task
Interrupting the circuit (circuit 50) to the starter solenoid switch after engine start speed is reached (switching
off starter).
Design
The starter solenoid switch is actuated not through the ignition/starter switch, but through the starter relay by the
engine control unit. The voltage for the starter relay (coil) is supplied through circuit 87. The starter relay is
actuated by the engine control unit through GND.
Function
When the ignition/start switch is turned from position 2 into the start position, start recognition is activated by
the engine control unit through circuit 50. As soon as an engine start speed of 400 to 700 rpm is reached, the
engine control unit interrupts the ground actuation to the starter relay and thus the start operation.
with manual transmission
The starter control is only enabled when the clutch pedal is operated. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the
clutch pedal switch is operated for start enable (S40/5).

Task
After engine start speed is reached, interrupt the circuit (circuit 50) M1 to the solenoid switch of the starter.
Design
The solenoid switch of the starter is operated not through the ignition/start switch S2/1, but in drive position P
or N through the starter relay, by the engine control unit.
The voltage for the starter relay (coil) is supplied through circuit 87.
The starter relay is actuated by the engine control unit through GND.
Function
When the ignition/start switch is operated in the start position, the engine control unit activates an automatic
start control. Once the engine start speed of 400 to 700 rpm is reached, the engine control unit interrupts the
ground actuation to the starter relay and thus the engine start operation.
Once the engine start operation is initiated, shutting off circuit 50 at the ignition/start switch has no effect. The
starter rotates until the specified start speed is reached, or for about 5 seconds at an engine temperature of +80
C, for a maximum of 10 seconds if the engine is cold.

After engine start speed is reached, the start control interrupts the power flow (circuit 50) to the solenoid switch
of the starter (starter shutoff).
The solenoid switch of the starter is actuated not through the ignition/starter switch, but through the starter relay
by the engine control module.
The voltage for the starter relay (coil) is supplied through circuit 87. The starter relay is actuated by the engine

Start recognition by the engine control module is effected through circuit 50 by simultaneously operating the
clutch pedal and the ignition/starter switch from position 2 into start position. When an engine speed of 400 -
700 rpm is reached, the engine control module interrupts the ground actuation to the starter relay and thus the
start operation.

It serves as a type of battery isolation switch.
Function
In the event of an accident the crash shut-off relay is actuated by the airbag triggering unit when the airbag is
actuated. This destroys one of two fuses in the crash shut-off relay thereby interrupting the connection between
the generator and battery.
This circuit is also interrupted when the ignition is switched OFF or the vehicle shut off.
In normal operation the crash shut-off relay is actuated via the ignition lock (c. 15) ignition ON and connected
ground (c. 31).
This actuation connects the generator with the battery. If a malfunction occurs in the leads from c. 15 or c. 31
(e.g. discontinuity), the battery is not charged when the engine is running. The final result is complete failure of
the vehicle electrical system due to the continuously decreasing electrical system voltage resulting from the
battery not being charged.
A defect in the crash shut-off relay and therefore an interruption in the battery charging operation is not
indicated to the driver by the charge indicator lamp.
