PWG SIGNAL MONITORING & PWG FAILSAFE OPERATION:
• As a redundant safety feature the PWG provides two separate signals from two integral
potentiometers (Pot 1 and Pot 2) representing the driver’s request for throttle activation.
• If the monitored PWG potentiometer signals are not plausible, ME 7.2 will only use the
lower of the two signals as the driver’s pedal request input providing failsafe operation.
Throttle response will be slower and maximum throttle position will be reduced.
• When  in  PWG  failsafe  operation,  ME  7.2  sets  the  EDK  throttle  plate  and  injection  time
to idle (LL) whenever the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the system is in PWG failsafe operation, the instrument cluster matrix display will
post “Engine Emergency Program” and PWG specific fault(s) will be stored in memory. 
EDK FEEDBACK SIGNAL MONITORING & EDK FAILSAFE OPERATION:
• The EDK provides two separate signals from two integral potentiometers (Pot 1 and Pot
2) representing the exact position of the throttle plate.
• EDK Pot 1 provides the primary throttle plate position feedback.  As a redundant safe-
ty feature, Pot 2 is continuously cross checked with Pot 1 for signal plausibility.
• If  plausibility  errors  are  detected  between  Pot  1  and  Pot  2,  ME  7.2  will  calculate  the
inducted engine air mass (from HFM signal) and only utilize the potentiometer signal that
closely matches the detected intake air mass. 
- The  ME  7.2  uses  the  air  mass  signalling  as  a  “virtual  potentiometer”  (pot  3)  for  a
comparative source to provide failsafe operation. 
- If  ME  7.2  cannot  calculate  a  plausible  conclusion  from  the  monitored  pots  (1  or  2
and  virtual  3)    the  EDK  motor  is  switched  off  and  fuel  injection  cut  out  is  activated
(no failsafe operation possible).
• The  EDK  is  continuously  monitored  during  all  phases  of  engine  operation.    It  is  also
briefly  activated  when  KL  15  is  initially  switched  on  as  a  “pre-flight  check”  to  verify  it’s
mechanical integrity (no binding, appropriate return spring tension, etc).  This is accom-
plished  by  monitoring  both  the  motor  control  amperage  and  the  reaction  speed  of  the
EDK feedback potentiometers.  If faults are detected the EDK motor is switched off and
fuel injection cut off is activated (no failsafe operation possible).  The engine does how-
ever continue to run extremely rough at idle speed.
• When  a  replacement  EDK  is  installed,  the  ME  7.2  adapts  to  the  new  component
(required  amperage  draw  for  motor  control,  feedback  pot  tolerance  differences,  etc).
This  occurs  immediately  after  the  next  cycle  of  KL  15  for  approximately  30  seconds.
During this period of adaptation, the maximum opening of the throttle plate is 25%.

EDK THROTTLE POSITION FEEDBACK SIGNALS
The EDK throttle plate position is monitored by two integrated potentiometers. The poten-
tiometers provide DC voltage feedback signals as input to the ME 7.2 for throttle and idle
control functions.  
Potentiometer signal 1 is the primary signal, Potentiometer sig-
nal  2  is  used  as  a  plausibility  cross-check  through  the  total
range of throttle plate movement.  
EDK FEEDBACK
SIGNAL MONITORING & FAILSAFE OPERATION:
• If  plausibility  errors  are  detected  between  Pot  1  and  Pot  2,  ME  7.2  will  calculate  the
inducted engine air mass (from HFM signal) and only utilize the potentiometer signal that
closely matches the detected intake air mass. 
- The  ME  7.2  uses  the  air  mass  signalling  as  a  “virtual  potentiometer”  (pot  3)  for  a
comparative source to provide failsafe operation. 
- If  ME  7.2  cannot  calculate  a  plausible  conclusion  from  the  monitored  pots  (1  or  2
and  virtual  3)    the  EDK  motor  is  switched  off  and  fuel  injection  cut  out  is  activated
(no failsafe operation possible).
• The  EDK  is  continuously  monitored  during  all  phases  of  engine  operation.    It  is  also
briefly  activated  when  KL  15  is  initially  switched  on  as  a  “pre-flight  check”  to  verify  it’s
mechanical  integrity  (no  binding,  appropriate  return  spring  tension)  by  monitoring  the
motor control amperage and the reaction speed of the EDK feedback potentiometers. 
If faults are detected the EDK motor is switched off and fuel injection cut off is activat-
ed (no failsafe operation possible).  The engine does however continue to run extreme-
ly rough at idle speed.

MFL CRUISE CONTROL DATA SIGNAL
The ME 7.2 control module provides the FGR cruise control function.  Throttle activation is
provided by ME 7.2 automatic control of the EDK and monitoring of the throttle plate posi-
tion feedback potentiometer signals.
All  of  the  familiar  driver  requested  cruise  control  function  requests  are  provided  to  the  ME
7.2 control module via the MFL control module on a single FGR data signal wire.  
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH
The Electronic Brake Switch (Hall effect) provides brake pedal position status to the ME 7.2.
The control module monitors both the brake light and a separate brake light test switch cir-
cuits for plausibility.  
When the brake pedal is pressed the brake light segment of the switch provides a ground
signal.  Simultaneously, the brake light test switch (located in the same housing) provides a
high signal.

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION
Secondary air injections required to pre-heat the catalytic converters for OBD II compliance.
The system consists of the same components as previous systems with V8 specific loca-
tions. 
The  DME  ME7.2  control  unit  controls  the  vacuum  vent  valve  and  the  secondary  air  injec-
tion pump relay separately but simultaneously.
The secondary air pump operates at a start temperature of between 10°C and 40°C. It con-
tinues to operate for a max. of 2 minutes at idle speed.
ME 7.2 contributes an additional correction factor for secondary air “on” time with the addi-
tional input from the integral ambient barometric pressure sensor.  
This sensor provides a base value to calculate the air mass being
injected into the exhaust system. This helps to “fine tune” the sec-
ondary  air  injection  “on”  time,  optimizing  the  necessary  air  flow
into the exhaust system which reduces the time to catalytic con-
verter light-off.

AUXILIARY FAN CONTROL
The  Auxiliary  Fan  motor  incorporates  an  out-
put  final  stage  that  activates  the  fan  motor  at
variable speeds.  
The auxiliary fan is controlled by ME 7.2.  The
motor  output  stage  receives  power  and
ground  and  activates  the  motor  based  on  a
PWM  signal  (10  -  100  Hz)  received  from  the
ME 7.2.
Similar to the aux fan in the E46 with MS 42.0
control,  the  fan  is  activated  based  on  the  fol-
lowing factors:
• Radiator outlet temperature sensor input exceeds a preset temperature.
• IHKA signalling via the K and CAN bus based on calculated refrigerant pressures.
• Vehicle speed
• Battery voltage level
When the over temperature light in the instrument cluster is on (120
OC) the fan is run in the
overrun  function.    This  signal  is  provided  to  the  DME  via  the  CAN  bus.    When  this  occurs
the fan is run at a frequency of 10 Hz.
