Automatically controlled
starting
The automatic start control is integrated into
the engine control unit.
A new feature is that starter control is no
longer implemented by way of the ignition/
starter switch D (switching of terminal 50),
but rather it is performed automatically by
the engine control unit.
Release for starter actuation is always
transmitted by the entry and start
authorisation control unit J518 to the engine
control unit J623.
In addition to general release by the
immobilizer, the following start release
conditions also have to be satisfied:
– Start signal from entry and start
authorisation switch E415 or entry and
start authorisation button E408
– Clutch pedal pressed, signal from clutch
pedal switch F194 (manual gearbox only)
– Selector lever position P or N (automatic
gearbox control unit J217)
– In the event of start signal via entry and
start authorisation button E408, brake
must be pressed (signal from brake light
switch F via separate interface)
As a safeguard, P/N signal or signal from
clutch pedal switch F194 must be applied
to the separate interfaces of the two
control units (J623 and J518).
Additional safeguard, as entry and start
authorisation button E408 can be
actuated by front passenger.

Engine, Mechanics
Sequence of operations
1 Entry and start authorisation switch E415/entry and start authorisation button E408
2 Entry and start authorisation control unit J518
The entry and start authorisation control
unit checks for authorisation – in the form
of information on selector slide position N
or P – from the automatic gearbox control
unit J217 and for brake application in the
case of a start signal from the entry and
start authorisation button E408.
3 Engine control unit J623 Application of selector slide position P/N or
"clutch pressed" information to the engine
control unit (separate interface) causes the
two starter relays J53 and J695 to be
actuated simultaneously. The relays then
switch terminal 50 for starter actuation.
The starter operates and cranks the engine.
On exceeding a defined engine speed, the
engine control unit J623 recognises that
the engine has started and the relays are
deenergised (thus terminating starting
process).
As a safeguard, two relays are connected in
series. In the event of fusion welding of the
make contacts (relay remains closed
following deenergisation), the engine
control unit J623 can thus interrupt the
circuit (terminal 50) by way of the other
relay in each case.
The two relays are deenergised alternately
in order to ensure even make contact wear
(break spark) in both relays. The
deenergisation sequence alternates. The driver triggers a brief start signal
(min. 20 ms) by turning the ignition key to
start position or by pressing the entry and
start authorisation button E408.
If the start prerequisites have been
satisfied, the entry and start authorisation
control unit J518 transmits a start request
– terminal 50 ON – to the engine control
unit J623.
The entry and start authorisation control unit J518 also controls the terminal 15 and
terminal 75x circuits.
Relay operation is monitored and faults diagnosed by evaluating the alternating
deenergisation with the aid of the terminal
50R interface.
The terminal 50R interface represents a link
with terminal 50 and provides the engine
control unit J623 with feedback for start
control/diagnosis.
Automatically controlled starting is not
permitted in the event of undervoltage or a
system fault.
The engine can however be started
manually by way of corresponding start
signal actuation.
To relieve the load on the starter and
battery, the relay actuation time is
limited to approx. 10 seconds per starting
operation (automatic or manual starting).

Highlights of automatic gearbox 09E
The 6-speed planetary gearbox is based on the
Lepelletier principle.
This concept is characterised by harmonic
gear ratio steps and the implementation of six
forward gears and one reverse gear with only
five selector elements.
Use is made in this gearbox of a new internal
gear oil pump featuring a lower delivery
volume and reduced leakage.
In addition, it was possible to achieve
optimisation of the oil supply with lower
leakage rates in the hydraulic control system.
The "stationary disconnection" function
reduces engine output when the vehicle is
stopped with a gear engaged by interrupting
power transmission.
A particularly noteworthy feature of the 09E
automatic gearbox is the relocation of the
front-axle differential (flange shaft) to in front
of the torque converter.
The distance between flange shaft and engine
flange is now only 61 mm (01L = 164 mm).
