Gasoline injection and ignition system ME-SFI, general
The ME-SFI gasoline injection and ignition system is supplied by "Robert Bosch GmbH" and, when connected electrically with the sensors and actuators of engine 272 KE ( Kanal-Einspritzung), forms the "ME 9.7" engine control.

The abbreviated designation "ME 9.7" means:
M = Motronic
E = Electronic accelerator pedal
9.7 = Version 9.7

The whole engine control is located in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10), which is subdivided in the following systems:
^ Basic functions
^ Engine system
^ Injection system
^ Ignition system
^ Exhaust system

Sensor data is directly read in from the engine control and indirectly via the CAN interconnection and actuates the respective actors. The following functions and systems are controlled and coordinated:

Basic functions
- Control system diagnosis
- Fault memory
- On-board diagnosis II (OBD II) or EOBD
- Diagnosis via CAN
- CAN interconnection
- Flash programming
- Variant coding
- Drive authorization system (DAS 3).
- Torque interface
- Heat management
- Alternator interface
- Controlled intake/exhaust camshaft adjustment
- Maximum vehicle speed limit

Diagnosis
For diagnostic purposes, the fault codes from the engine control can be read off and deleted with the DAS system, and specific diagnostic functions initiated.

CAN interconnection
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit exchanges data with other control units that are integrated into the CAN system via the connected engine compartment CAN (CAN-C).

Flash programming
The engine control in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit is flash programmable, that is the complete software in the control unit can be replaced using the DAS (installed new). The software required for control unit programming can be found on the Star Diagnosis DAS Update DVD.

Variant coding
Using variant coding the following vehicle versions and equipment can be coded using the DAS:
- Vehicle model
- National version (e.g. ECE, USA, Japan)
- Exhaust variants (e.g. EURO 5, ULEV, SULEV)
- Transmission version
- With or without catalytic converter

Engine system
- Start relay actuation
- Throttle flap actuation (electronic accelerator)
- Fuel safety shutoff
- Transmission overload protection (for automatic transmission)
- Secondary air injection
- ESP/VGS support
- Starting torque limitation
- Suction fan actuation
- Calibration of throttle valve
- Intake manifold length switchover (except engine 272.969)
- Tumble flap switchover (except engine 272.969)

Injection system
- Cylinder-sequential port injection (KE)
- Start, post-start phase and acceleration enrichment
- Warm running regulation
- Idle speed control
- Cylinder-sequential fuel metering
- Emergency mode function
- RPM increase of air conditioning
- Inertia fuel shutoff
- Fuel pump actuation
- Altitude adaptation
- Load change function
- Rpm limitation

Ignition system
- Single spark ignition
- Ignition map
- Rpm limitation by retarding ignition angle
- Knock sensor system
- Synchronization of camshaft and crankshaft positions

Exhaust system
- Catalytic converter heating
- Oxygen sensor heater control unit
- Straight-line lambda control
