• Circuit 87 (Engine management ON)
• Engine runs

Engine limp-home mode, general 

The task of the engine limp-home mode consists of ensuring continued safe driving in the case of malfunctions on individual components of the engine management.

The CDI control unit (N3/9) controls engine limp-home mode based on the following signals:

• Camshaft Hall sensor (B6/1)
• Accelerator pedal sensor (B37), accelerator pedal position
• Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), engine rpm
• Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/4), brake actuation via chassis CAN 1 (CAN E1)
• Fully integrated transmission control unit (Y3/8n4), gear range via drive train CAN (CAN C)

Function sequence for engine limp-home mode 

The function sequence is described in the following steps:

• Function sequence for limp-home mode for failure of the accelerator pedal sensor 
• Function sequence for limp-home mode on failure of the crankshaft Hall sensor 

Function sequence for limp-home mode for failure of the accelerator pedal sensor 

In case of failure of a Hall sensor the system switches to a second Hall sensor and the engine power is reduced. To do this, the CDI control unit regulates the fuel pressure in the rails via the pressure regulating valve (Y74) and quantity control valve (Y94) and regulates the injection period by actuating the fuel injectors of cylinders 1 to 6 (Y76/1 to Y76/6). If the plausibility check made by the CDI control unit is negative or if both Hall sensors fail, the system will only work to regulate the idle speed.

Function sequence for limp-home mode on failure of the crankshaft Hall sensor 

If no voltage signal is received from the crankshaft Hall sensor, the voltage signal from the camshaft Hall sensor will be used instead (for limp-home mode).

Diagnosis

Faults detected by the accelerator pedal sensor are stored in the fault memory and can be read out and cleared using Xentry Diagnostics.
