Function requirements for two-sensor control, general points 

Two-sensor control, general points 

The two-sensor control is used to monitor the function of the LH and RH O 2 sensors upstream of the catalytic converter (G3/3, G3/4) and the effectiveness of the firewall catalytic converter.

To do this, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) reads the following sensors:

Function sequence for two-sensor control 

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit determines the lambda mean value using the signals from the oxygen sensors downstream of the catalytic converter. This value is compared with a stored value for optimum exhaust emissions.

If the deviation is too large after a number of measurements, a correction value is determined for the lambda control.

Using the correction value (value with new LH and RH O 2 sensors upstream of CAT is about 0), the aging of the O 2 sensors upstream of CAT is adjusted within certain limits.

If the correction value exceeds the specified limit value, the O 2 sensors upstream of the catalytic converter must be replaced. The correction value depends on the performance map, and is applied by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit by adapting the injection time of the fuel injection valves (Y62).

If the specified limit value is exceeded or if the oxygen sensor signals (upstream or downstream of CAT) fail the plausibility check, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit actuates the engine diagnosis indicator lamp on the instrument cluster (A1) (A1e58) over the chassis CAN (CAN E) and central CAN (CAN F).

The exceeded limit value is stored in the fault memory by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and can be read out and deleted using the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
