Location 

The CDI control unit is on the air filter housing.

Task 

The CDI control unit performs the following tasks:

The CDI control unit operates in an electrical network of sensors and actuators to form the engine management system for engine 651 Hybrid. As the master control unit it also takes on a large part of the controlling of hybrid systems. The CDI control unit also acts as the interface (gateway) between the three connected CAN bus systems.

Controlling the engine basic functions 

Reading in of signals 

Input factors are read in over the following connections:

Evaluation of input factors 

The input factors that have been read in are evaluated by the integrated microprocessor and the affected components are then actuated.

Output of signals and actuation of components 

Initial parameter are output over the following connections:

IMPORTANT The front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) is the central interface (Gateway) for exchange of function-relevant data for control units which are connected to the various Control Area Network (CAN) bus systems.

Input parameters and initial parameters for the following components are read in or output over direct lines by the CDI control unit and are required by the engine management system:

Body 

The housing of the CDI control unit is made of diecast aluminum and the cover is made of corrosion-proof sheet steel. The CDI control unit is water proof and dust proof.

The inside contains the 32-bit measuring and control electronics for the engine management.

IMPORTANT The CDI control unit has an internal atmospheric pressure sensor.

Ground connection 

The "circuit 31" ground connection is made via multiple ground lines to the right assembly compartment ground point (W16/6).

Voltage supply 

The CDI control unit is supplied with power by "circuit 30 fused" and, with the ignition on, by "circuit 87". In the operating voltage range it has both short-circuit protection and reversed polarity protection. Power is supplied through several engaged parallel pins connected in parallel to relieve the electrical connections.

IMPORTANTNo-load current shutoff 

Information about the partial function "no-load current switch off" is documented in the function description "engine OFF energy management function".

Variants 

The variants of the engine management, for exampled country and exhaust variants, are activated with XD over the variant coding.

IMPORTANT Assembly operations

Ensure before unplugging the plug on the CDI control unit that the ignition is switched off and processor run-on has ended. This is to prevent damage to the CDI control unit and save errors in the control units linked to the CAN.
