G04839964

The task of the overheating/pinging protection is to protect against engine damage as a result of excessive thermal overload and overheating damage of the catalytic converters.

If the coolant temperature/charge air temperature is too high, the ignition timing point is retarded in line with engine speed and load. The correction by retarding the ignition timing is map-controlled by the ME control unit.

The retardation of the ignition timing point commences at a coolant temperature of approx. 90°C and a charge air temperature of approx. 20°C.

The ignition timing is retarded e.g.:

-at  100°C coolant, 20°C charge air and full load 2° crank angle

-at  100°C coolant, 60°C charge air and full load 8° crank angle

-at  125°C coolant, 60°C charge air and full load 11° crank angle

The following information is processed in the ME-SFI control unit:

IMPORTANT

The ignition angle corrections of the overheating/pinging protection and anti-knock control are added based on the performance map.
