Engine torque requests, general points
The torque interface in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) coordinates and sets priorities for the requirements of all systems (according to drivability and priority setting), which determine engine torque requirement.
It also determines how dynamically each requirement is to be implemented.

The following can set an engine torque requirement:
- Driver, through the accelerator pedal sensor (B37)
- Transmission control, from the ETC control unit (N15/3)
- ESP, from the ESP, SPS [PML] and BAS control unit (N47-5)
- Cruise control, from the ESP control unit
- Distronic, from the ESP control unit (if Distronic installed)
- Maximum torque limitation
- Maximum engine speed limitation
- Maximum vehicle speed limit

Engine torque requests function sequence
According to the dynamic requirements, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit varies the engine torque requirement, by:
- Lengthening or shortening the injection time of the injection valves (Y62)
- Advance/retard adjustment of the ignition angle of the ECI ignition modules for the RH and LH cylinder banks (N92/1, N92/2) (this allows very rapid variation of the engine torque)
- Combined adaptation of injection time and ignition angle

Torque reserve
If the injection time is increased and the ignition angle is retarded at the same time, the engine torque remains the same at first. However, the engine torque can then be raised very quickly by advancing the ignition angle.
