Design
The housing of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is made out of diecast aluminum and the cover is made out of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is protected against water and dusts.
The housing contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine control.

Voltage supply:
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is "circuit 30 secured" and also supplied with voltage for ignition ON by "circuit 87 M1".
It is fitted in the operating voltage range with short-circuit protection as well as reversed polarity protection.
In certain cases voltage is supplied through several pins connected in parallel by to relief the electrical connectors.

Ground connection:
The ground connection "circuit 31" is made via a number of ground lines to the right major assemblies compartment ground, power ground (W16/4).

Computer run-on:
If the ME-SFI [ME] control unit receives the signal "circuit 15 OFF" a processor run-on of approx. 5 seconds is started.
However, it may also last for several minutes due to various functions (e.g. on-board diagnosis, drive authorization system, thermal management).

Assembly operations:
Ensure before unplugging the plug on the ME-SFI [ME] control unit that the ignition is switched off and computer run-on has ended. In this it id possible to avoid destruction of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and wrong storage of data by the control units in the Control Area Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN) network.

Variants
The engine control variants, such as country and exhaust gas variants, are activated with the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) using the variant coding function.
Replacement of the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is not necessary.
