Due to the special way in which it works. the
combined yaw rate sensor and lateral acceleration
sensor/longitudinal acceleration sensor must be
installed the right way up in the designated location
specified by the manufacturer. Any slight deviation
in the installation position and/or installation
location could lead to impaired functionality and
thereby possible failure of the stability assist.
Front wheel sensor
E96823
Active sensors are used to determine the rotational
speeds of the wheels at the hub. After the ignition
is switched on, the ABS module supplies the
sensors with power. The sensors work in
accordance with the Hall effect principle and

generate a square wave output signal. The signal
acts in proportion to the rotational speed of the
sensor ring. The ABS sensor rings are built into
the seals in the front wheel bearings. The ABS
module evaluates the signals from all four sensors
to calculate a vehicle speed signal based on the
rotational speeds of all wheels. The road speed is
transmitted on the CAN bus. The powertrain controlmodule (PCM) uses this signal and the
programmed tire size to calculate the vehicle
speed. The calculated vehicle speed is forwarded
on the CAN bus and is requested by other control
units that need this input information.
Rear wheel sensor
E96824
The sensors are joined to the main wiring harness
using a separate connecting cable.

CAUTION: Before removal, mark the
camshafts as the intake and exhaust
camshafts can be mixed up.
A reference mark for the CMP sensor is machined
into each camshaft. When the camshafts are set
precisely to the timing marks, the machined mark
on the exhaust camshaft is located roughly at the
5 o'clock position and the machined mark on the
intake camshaft is located at 8 o'clock.
When changing the toothed belts it is not necessary
to dismantle the camshaft adjustment units. A
special tool prevents the VCT control units from
turning during the adjustment process by locking
the two VCT control units to one another.
A further special tool is needed to fix the camshafts
in the adjustment position. The special tool
engages in corresponding recesses for the
reference marks on the CMP sensors. Each camshaft is fixed in place using four bearing
caps and the bearing cap VVT. The bearing caps
must not be changed around and must always be
fitted in their original positions.
The VCT control units for the intake and exhaust
camshafts are moved into the locked base position
when the engine is stopped through the
engagement of a spring-loaded locking pin. The
movement to the locked base position is assisted
by the tensile force of the timing belt for the intake
VCT control unit. With the exhaust VCT control
unit, a spring inside the control unit additionally
assists in reaching the locked base position. The
intake VCT control unit is in the "retarded timing"
position and the exhaust VCT control unit is in the
"advanced timing" position when in the locked base
position. The lock is hydraulically released when
the engine is started depending on the oil pressure.
The mechanical valve tappets are maintenance
free.

The engine is controlled by the PCM.
The PCM uses various sensors to calculate the
optimum ignition timing, the optimum injection
quantity and injection time and the position of the
throttle. In addition, various corrections are carried
out, including adjustment of the ignition timing using
the KS and adjustment of the fuel quantity by the Lambda control. Boost pressure control and fuel
pressure control are also performed by the PCM.
For all work on the engine electronics, it is
essential to ensure that the connectorsare
seated and locked properly.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
E65160
The PCM communicates with all engine sensors
and the other modules. Communication of the PCM
with the other modules and the system diagnostics
takes place via the CAN (controller area network)
data bus.
The following functions are regulated or controlled
by the PCM:
• Fuel supply to the engine including lambdacontrol
• Ignition setting including knock control
• Idle speed control
• Control of optimum valve timing via the camshaft adjustment for intake and exhaust camshafts
• The refrigerant compressor is controlled by the air conditioning clutch relay and the delivery of
the refrigerant compressor is controlled by a
PWM (pulse width modulation) signal.
• Control of EVAP purge valve
• Boost pressure control
• Control of the cooling fan
• Charging system (Smart Charge)
• Starting system (Smart Start)
If the PCM is isolated from the vehicle electrical
system or the battery is disconnected, the throttle
control unit mustbe initialized.
The PCM is fitted in the engine compartment in the
air filter housing. On right hand drive vehicles a
protective metal plate is also installed to prevent
the plug connector from being pulled off, or make
it harder to pull off, in case of theft. The protective
plate is secured with a shear bolt. The shear bolt
needs to be drilled out in order to remove the
protective plate.
Knock Sensor
E96986
Two KSs are fitted. They are on the cylinder block,
one close to the 2nd cylinder and one close to the
4th cylinder.
When fitting, adhere strictly to the specified
tightening torque, otherwise the KS will not work
properly.
If the signal from one or both KS is implausible or
absent, knock control is deactivated. The PCM
switches to an ignition map that is further away
from the knock limit. As a result, engine damage
caused by combustion knock is avoided. If a fault
occurs, a fault code is stored in the error memory
of the PCM.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
E89993
If one or both CMP sensors fail, a fault is saved in
the error memory of the PCM and the camshaft
adjustment and knock control are deactivated.

Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
E89994
The CKP sensor can be checked during starting
by measuring the resistance and/or voltage with
the oscilloscope.
The engine cannot work without the CKP signal.
A limp-home mode is therefore not possible. The
engine is switched off or the engine will not start
and a fault is stored in the error memory of the
PCM.
Camshaft adjuster solenoid valve
E96870
For work on the camshaft adjuster solenoids,
extreme cleanliness must be ensured as even
slight impurities can result in failure. The camshaft
adjustment solenoids for the intake and exhaust
camshafts differ only in terms of the position of the
fastening point by which they are fixed to the
cylinder head cover.
If a fault is detected in the camshaft adjustment
solenoids, the solenoids are no longer actuated.
Manifold absolute pressure and
temperature sensor
E96146
During installation of the MAPT sensor, correct
sealing must be ensured to ensure that no
infiltrated air can penetrate into the intake manifold
from outside.
If the MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
fails, the PCM operates with a substitute value.
Accelerator pedal position (APP)
sensor

If one of the two APP sensors fails, then only a
proportion of the engine's power will be available
when accelerating. Top speed can nevertheless
be achieved.
If both of the APP sensors fail, the engine is
regulated to a defined speed following a plausibility
check after the BPP (brake pedal position) switch
and brake light switch have been actuated once.
The vehicle can then only be accelerated to a
defined speed.
In either case, a fault is saved in the error memory
of the PCM.

throttle control unit or the PCM, initialization is
necessary. • engine off
• Accelerator pedal not pressed
• Battery voltage 11 ... 14 V
• Ignition key in ON position
• Wait approximately 30 seconds until initialization
is complete.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor
E94804
The ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor is
designed as an NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) resistor.
If the signal from the ECT sensor fails, the cooling
fan is on all the time and the A/C (air conditioning)
is turned off. When the ignition is switched on, the
value from the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor
is read. When the engine is running, the
temperature is calculated using a temperature map
stored in the PCM according to how long the
engine has been running. This substitute value is
then used as the basis for calculating the injected
fuel quantity and the ignition timing.

System Operation
The engine is controlled by the PCM. For this
purpose, the PCM uses information from the
sensors, sender units and switches. In addition,
the PCM receives information from other control
modules via the CAN data bus. All the information
is processed in the PCM and is used to control or
regulate the different actuators.
These are:
• the throttle control unit,
• the fuel injectors, • the camshaft adjustment,
• the boost control solenoid valve
• and the ignition coils.
Some values are sent via the CAN databus to other
systems.
The following functions are regulated or controlled
by the PCM:

• Starting process
• Engine running– Fuel supply to the engine including lambdacontrol
– Ignition setting including knock control
– Idle speed control
– Boost pressure control
– Valve timing via the camshaft adjuster for the intake and exhaust camshafts (including
internal exhaust gas recirculation)
• Refrigerant compressor (activation, deactivation and delivery)
• EVAP purge valve
• Charging system
Fuel is supplied to the engine via a sequential
multi-point injection system. Ignition is performed
by a distributor-less ignition system with one
ignition coil unit for each cylinder.
The PCM optimizes engine power and emissions
at all times by processing the sensor signals and
information received via the CAN databus and
using these for open or closed loop control of the
different variables.
The PCM contains part of the PATS (passive
anti-theft system).
The PCM is supplied with battery voltage via a fuse
in the BJB (battery junction box). This power supply
is needed to ensure that saved data is not lost
when the engine is switched off.
For other power supply requirements, the PCM
switches on a relay in the BJB which is responsible
for supplying power to the PCM and to some
sensors and actuators. Each of these are protected
by fuses in the BJB.
To guarantee optimum engine running at all times,
the PCM has several adaptive (self-learning)
functions. These adapt the output signals to
changing circumstances, such as wear or system
faults.
In some cases a faulty signal is replaced with a
substitute value or limited. A substitute value can
be calculated from other signals or it can be
predefined by the PCM. The substitute value allows
the vehicle to keep on running without the emission
values changing unduly. Depending on the signal
failure, the PCM operates in emergency mode. In
this mode, the engine power and/or the engine
speed is reduced to prevent further damage.
Depending on the faulty signal, a fault code is
stored in the error memory of the PCM. These can be read out using IDS (Integrated Diagnostic
System) via the DLC.
The PCM processes and evaluates the signals
from the sensors. The following sensors send
signals to the PCM:
• CMP sensors
• CKP sensor
• MAF sensor
•KS
• ECT sensor
• TP sensor
• APP sensor
• Broadband HO2S
• Catalyst monitor sensor
• MAPT sensor
• Air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor
• Alternator
• Fuel temperature and fuel pressure sensor
• Engine oil level, temperature and quality sensor
• Outside air temperature sensor
The following components receive signals from the
PCM:
• Powertrain Control Module relay
• A/C clutch relay
• injectors
• Direct ignition coils
• Cooling fan module
• Throttle control unit
• Camshaft adjuster solenoid valve
• Starter Relay
• EVAP purge valve
• Alternator
• Heating element - broadband HO2S
• Catalyst monitor sensor heating element
• FPDM
• Wastegate control valve
• Air conditioning compressor
The PCM receives the following signals via the
CAN databus:
• APP
•CPP
• BPP
• Vehicle speed.
• Refrigerant compressor request

The acceleration of the flywheel at each power
stroke results in a change in the CKP signal.
During the power stroke, the combustion pressure
acting on the piston causes an acceleration of the
crankshaft and thus also of the flywheel. This is
apparent in the voltage curve from slightly higher
frequencies and amplitudes of the CKP signal.
Calculation of the ignition angle
Since propagation of the flame front in the air/fuel
mixture always takes the same amount of time, the
ignition of the air/fuel mixture has to take place
earlier or later depending on the engine speed.
The higher the speed, the earlier ignition must
occur. This ensures that maximum combustion
pressure is achieved immediately after Top Dead
Center and that maximum combustion pressure
acts on the piston.
When starting the engine, ignition timing is
determined by the CMP purely from the ignition
map and information on camshaft position (CKP
sensors) and crankshaft position (PCM sensor).
As soon as the engine is running, the following
data are used as a basis for calculating the ignition
angle:
• the engine speed,
• the engine load,
• the coolant temperature and
• the KS signal.
The ignition angle has a major impact on engine
operation. It affects
• engine performance
• exhaust emissions
• fuel consumption,
• combustion knock behavior and
• engine temperature.
The higher the engine load, i.e. the torque demand,
the richer the air/fuel mixture, the longer the
combustion period and the earlier the ignition. The PCM calculates engine load using the MAF
sensor signal, the throttle position and engine
speed. This is done using ignition maps that are
stored in the PCM. The ignition timing is adjusted
according to the operating condition of the engine,
for cold starting for example.

The ignition maps were calculated in a series of
tests. Particular attention is paid to the emission
behaviour, power and fuel consumption of the
engine. The ignition map is stored in the data
memory of the PCM.
By adjusting the ignition timing it is also possible
to influence the engine speed to some extent
without having to change the throttle valve position.
This has advantages for idling stabilization, as the
engine speed and hence the engine torque respond
far more quickly to a change in the ignition timing
