Common rail diesel injection (CDI), function - GF07.16-P-0001OMD

ENGINE 651.9 as of 9/1/13 in MODEL 212 (except 212.098/298) with CODE 494 (US version) Bosch 

Common rail diesel injection (CDI) - general 

The ommon Rail iesel njection (CDI) constitutes the engine timing "CR43" in the electrical connection with the sensors and actuators of engine 651.

The short designation "CR" stands for:

CR = Common Rail 

The "common rail" is the line shared by all injectors for fuel delivery. The fuel upstream of the injection is stored in this common line. Therefore a common rail system is also called "storage injection". The entire engine timing system is located in the CDI control unit (N3/9). Sensor data is directly read in from the engine timing and indirectly via the CAN interconnection and actuates the respective actuators. The individual functions and systems of the engine timing system are controlled and coordinated by the CDI control unit.

The following table provides an overview of the vehicle model and major assembly overviews:

Sales designation Type Motor Transmission Engine management Notes
Model series 212           
E 250 BLUETEC 212.004 651.924 722.908 CR43  
4ME 250 BlueTEC MATIC 212.097 651.924 722.965 CR43  

The engine timing is subdivided into the following systems:

Basic functions 

IMPORTANT Diagnosis

For diagnostic purposes, the fault codes from the engine timing can be read off and deleted with Xentry Diagnostics, and specific diagnostic functions initiated.

IMPORTANT CAN network

The CDI control unit exchanges data via the connected drive train CAN (CAN C) and chassis CAN 1 (CAN E1) with the other control units integrated in the CAN network.

The CDI control unit also acts as the interface (gateway) between the CAN bus systems. The CDI control unit is also connected to the drivetrain LIN (LIN C1) and the drive train sensor CAN (CAN I) via which it exchanges data.

IMPORTANT Flash programming

The engine timing in the CDI control unit is flashable, that is the complete software in the control unit can be exchanged (replaced) using Xentry Diagnostics. The software required for control unit programming can be found on the Star Diagnosis software DVD.

IMPORTANT Variant coding

Using variant coding the following vehicle versions and equipment can be coded using Xentry Diagnostics:

Engine system 

Injection system 

Air control system 

Exhaust system 

IMPORTANT Exhaust emissions standard

Vehicles with code (U77) BlueTEC (SCR) diesel exhaust treatment fulfill the USA BIN5 exhaust emissions standards.

Engine 651 is characterized by the following components:

The following variants are offered:

The operating conditions of the engine and the concurrently active engine timing subfunctions are described in the following documents:
