GF15.30-P-3000MOR Starter Control, Function

GF15.30-P-3000MOR Starter Control, Function
ENGINE 275.9 in MODEL 230.4 as of model year 2009 / AEJ 08 model refinement package

Function requirements for starter control, general points
^ Circuit 87M ON (engine control ON)
^ Engine OFF
^ Drive authorization system start enable (DAS 3)
^ Engaged gear range "P" or "N"

Starter control, general points
Starter control which is integrated in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) takes over actuation and shutoff of the starter (M1).

For the starter control, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit reads the following sensors and signals:

- Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)
- Crankshaft position sensor (L5), engine speed
- EIS control unit (N73), Circuit 50 signal via the engine compartment CAN (CAN C)
- ETC control unit (N15/3), gear range via the engine compartment CAN

Starter control function sequence
The function sequence is subdivided into the following steps:

^ Start function sequence
^ End of start function sequence

Start function sequence
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit receives the "circuit 50 signal" from the EIS [EZS] control unit via the engine compartment CAN by actuating the transmitter key (A8/1) in the start position.
It actuates the starter relay (K40/4kL) with a ground signal. The power contact on the starter relay closes and the starter solenoid switch is supplied at "circuit 50" with voltage from "circuit 30".

End of start function sequence
Start control is carried out automatically by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (touch start). This means that if the start process is initiated switching off of "circuit 50" has no further influence on the start process.
On reaching an engine cranking speed of 400 to 700 rpm or a starting time of approx. 5 to 40 seconds (depending on the coolant temperature), the ME-SFI [ME] control unit interrupts negative activation to the starter relay and thus ends the starting procedure.

The start sequence can only be aborted by switching off the ignition.
