Engine speed sender G28
The engine speed sender is an inductive
sender which records the engine speed and
the exact angular position of the crankshaft
(single-sender system).
Attached to the flywheel is a separate sender
wheel for the G28.
The sender wheel is designed as a segmented
wheel and is subdivided into 60 segments.
If the sender wheel moves past G28 , this
produces an alternating voltage whose
frequency changes as a factor of engine speed.
The frequency is the magnitude of the engine
speed.
To enable it to recognise the crankshaft
position, there is a gap of two segments in the
sender wheel.
The G28 recognises the engine speed.
Together with Hall sender G40, the G28
recognises the exact position of the engine
mechanics, i.e. ignition TDC of cylinder 1. The
injection and ignition timing are determined
using this information.
Substitute function and self-diagnosis:
The signal which G28 generates is checked
together with the signal supplied by the G40
for plausibility.
If the Motronic control unit does not detect any
segment gaps during 8 “phases“ of the G40,
an entry is made in the fault memory.
If the engine speed sender fails, it is not
possible to start or run the engine.
Since the G28 is an inductive sender,
the self-diagnostics are unable to
perform electrical tests (short circuit
to positive or negative or open
circuit).

Sensors
Brake light switch F and brake
pedal switch F47The information “brake operated“ is required
for the following functions:
• Function of cruise control system
• Safety interrogation of electronic accelerator
function (idling speed recognition during
emergency running mode of accelerator
position sender)
Brake light switch F and brake pedal switch F47
are combined as a unit. Both serve as
information senders for “brake operated“,
which means they are redundant (for safety
reasons).
Brake light switch F is open in the “off”
position and is supplied with voltage from
terminal 30. It serves as an additional
information input for the Motronic.
Brake pedal switch F47 is closed in the “off”
position closed and is supplied with voltage
from terminal 15. It serves exclusively as an
information input for the Motronic.
Substitute function and self-diagnosis:
The two switches are cross-checked for
plausibility by the self-diagnosis.
Please read the note on the “Safety function“
on page 39.
Clutch pedal switch F36 ...
Wrong settings, electrical malfunctions or maloperation (driver keeps foot on clutch
pedal) may result in load change jolts or engine speed overshoots.
... switches the cruise control system off.
... deactivates the load change functions during the gearshift operation. The load change
function is controlled via ignition angle intervention and throttle valve closing speed.
The clutch pedal switch is closed in the “off” position and is supplied with voltage from terminal
15.
Substitute function and self-diagnosis:
The F36 is not included in the self-diagnosis, which means that no substitute functions are
initiated.

Additional signals/interfaces
The road speed signal ...
... is required for operation of the cruise control
system, speed limiter, load change measures,
idling speed stabilisation and internal safety
checks of the control unit (e.g. adaption
conditions).... is a square-wave signal which is conditioned
by the dash panel insert. The frequency of this
signal changes as a factor of road speed.
The dash panel insert transfers 4 pulses per
revolution of the wheel.
Coolant temperature signal
The engine control unit receives from the dash
panel insert a coolant temperature signal
calculated from the signal which coolant
temperature sender G2 generates and a
related temperature characteristic.
The signal is a “data message“ and is
connected to the earth potential when a
temperature of approx. 120 °C is exceeded.
In this case, the air conditioner’s operating and
display unit switches the compressor off along
the bidirectional wire designated “Air-
conditioner compressor On/Off“.As of a temperature of 116 °C, the charge
pressure is reduced in order to counteract a
further rise in temperature.
If the temperature drops below a value of
approx. 116 °C, a data message is again
transferred and all actions previously
performed are reversed.
