Bosch KE-Jetronic Continuous Injection System Mechanical Fuel Injection Overview Part 1of 6




FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM - BOSCH CIS-E
1986 Fuel Systems MERCEDES-BENZ CIS-E ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION

The fuel injection system used on all Mercedes-Benz gasoline engine vehicles uses a basic CIS injection system for fuel delivery and electronic controls for mixture correction functions.

Electronic controls consist of airflow sensor position indicator (potentiometer), electro-hydraulic actuator, thermo time switch, coolant temperature sensor, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), transistorized ignition system, throttle valve microswitch, altitude sensor, lambda control and oxygen sensor.

If ECU malfunctions, CIS-E system will operate in back-up or "limp-home" mode until fuel system can be repaired. The failure codes are transmitted to the lambda measuring circuit of the diagnostic socket. These codes are displayed on a Bosch "On-Off" Ratio Tester (KDJE-P600). The fixed on-off ratio indicates possible malfunctions.

The EZL electronic breakerless ignition system has computer controlled electronic ignition timing (firing point) adjustment. Data about ignition characteristics for various engine loads is stored in the ignition control module and can be recalled according to actual engine operating conditions.

OPERATION
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC READOUT SYSTEM

Various components of the CIS-E injection system are checked by a microprocessor in the control unit. The failure codes are transmitted by the lambda measuring circuit of the diagnostic socket and are displayed on the Bosch On-Off Ratio Tester (KDJE-P600).
FUEL PUMP RELAY

The fuel pump relay on 560 SL models is located behind the glove compartment. For 420 and all other 560 series, the relay is located on the left rear side of the engine compartment, in the relay component compartment. For 190E, 190E/16 and 300E series, the fuel pump relay is located in the engine compartment on the right rear firewall.

The fuel pump relay has the following functions: cold start valve activation, rpm limitation and kick-down shutoff.
COLD START VALVE ACTIVATION

Cold start valve operation depends on coolant temperature and cranking speed signal. Voltage is supplied by the fuel pump relay. The length of time during which the cold start valve injects fuel is dependent on the coolant temperature.

If the engine starts before the cold-start valve completes its cycle, cold start injection is canceled.
FUEL ENRICHMENT
Cranking Enrichment

During cranking, enrichment signal is provided by terminal No. 50 of the enrichment circuit. The amount of enrichment depends on coolant temperature. A timing element regulates enrichment after one second to a basic warm-up value.The enrichment value will remain constant during cranking procedure.
After-Start Enrichment

This phase allows smooth running characteristics immediately after 1/2starting. When engine cranking is stopped, regulation of after-start enrichment begins. Enrichment will drop to basic warm-up value, which varies with temperature. Amount and duration of after-start enrichment depends on coolant temperature.
Warm-Up Enrichment

Fuel enrichment depends on coolant temperature. Lower coolant temperature results in higher current at actuator. This will provide greater fuel enrichment.
Maximum Engine Speed

ECU senses engine speed based on impulses from "TD" terminal of the ignition switching unit. Engine speed is limited by changing current to the differential pressure regulator from ECU. Lower chamber pressure is increased to system pressure and fuel supply to injection valves is interrupted.
Altitude Correction

Depending on altitude, the amount of fuel is changed based on a signal from the altitude correction capsule. With the ignition on or with the engine running, the altitude correction capsule will receive a constant voltage signal (about 5 volts) from the control unit.

If ECU operates in a fixed mode, correction for altitude will not take place. With increasing altitude (decreasing air pressure), the mixture will be leaned for that particular altitude by a reduction of voltage.
MAXIMUM RPM LIMITATION

If the fuel pump relay receives the number impulses corresponding to the maximum engine RPM, the contact between circuit 30 and 87 is interrupted and the fuel pump is turned off.
FUEL PUMP

The 420 and 560 models are equipped with 2 fuel pumps. All other models use one pump. On all models, the fuel pumps are located in front of the rear axle on the right side on the frame floor.

On all models, a diaphragm damper is integrated in the fuel pumps. On 420 and 560 models, the diaphragm damper is integrated in the fuel pump on the suction side.
DIAPHRAGM PRESSURE REGULATOR

The diaphragm pressure regulator keeps system pressure at 84 psi (5.8 bar). Pressure is set by the manufacturer and cannot be adjusted.
FUEL DISTRIBUTOR UNIT

Fuel is metered and delivered to individual cylinders dependent on air intake quantity which is metered by airflow sensor plate. FDU consists of fuel distributor with differential pressure regulator and airflow sensor plate with potentiometer (sensor position indicator).
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The coolant temperature sensor is located in the left cylinder head. The sensor has a 2-pin connector, one for Electronic Ignition System (EZL) and one for the CIS-E injection system.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)

On 190 series, the ECU is located on right side of engine on the firewall. On 300E models the ECU is located in the component compartment on the right side. On 420 and 560 sedan models the ECU is located behind the right kick panel on the passenger side. On 560 SL models the ECU is located under the right kick panel on the passenger side.

With ignition switched on, the ECU is connected to battery voltage. To prevent voltage fluctuations when vehicle components are switched on, the ECU is provided with a voltage protection relay.

The ECU unit utilizes various input signals for control of fuel delivery and exhaust emissions. Input signals are converted into corresponding current values and are sent to the differential pressure regulator and to idle speed air valve.
IDLE SPEED CONTROL UNIT

The idle speed control unit processes the following information: engine speed signal (ignition terminal TD), coolant temperature, idle speed signal (throttle valve switch), vehicle speed signal (speedometer), automatic transmission shift lever position and A/C compressor cut-in signal.

At idle speed with the vehicle stationary (speed signal zero), the idle speed control unit scans the momentary input signals. From these signals, the microprocessor calculates the mean airflow volume and adjusts the control current to the idle speed air valve accordingly. In addition, the total control range is readjusted to the new control current so that the maximun control range is available when the engine load is increased.
IDLE SPEED AIR VALVE
190 & 300E Series

The idle speed air valve has the following functions:

* The electronic control unit supplies a specific voltage to the air valve which determines the respective valve opening and thereby the engine speed.
* The nominal idle speed is controlled depending on temperature, between 1200 RPM at about -23°F (-30°C) to 900 RPM at 158°F (70°C).
* With the ignition switched on (engine not running) the idle speed air valve is activated by a specific voltage. The port for the fixed operating mode is closed and the control port is opened.
* If the voltage supply fails, the port for the fixed operating mode is opened automatically.

420 & 560 Series

The idle speed air valve is an electro-magnetic disc valve. It has a 2-pin electrical connector. The idle speed air valve has the following functions:

* Without voltage, the valve is fully open. With the ignition turned on, the valve is also fully open.
* At idle speed (depending on engine load), the idle speed control unit supplies a current of less than 1000 mA to the idle speed air valve. This current determines the opening cross section and thereby the idle speed.
* The idle speed is controlled in steps depending on the coolant temperature.
* The idle speed air valve by-pass is open for the 420 engine and closed on the 560 engine.

VOLTAGE PROTECTION RELAY (VPR)

Voltage protection relay is used to protect the ECU from excessive voltage. There is a 10-amp fuse installed on top of the VPR, which is located on relay board at right side of engine compartment.

When ignition is switched on, terminal No. 15 receives battery voltage. Relay is activated and ECU is provided with battery voltage from terminal No. 87.
OXYGEN SENSOR

The oxygen sensor is heated to obtain a constant operating temperature of the sensor. The heating element receives voltage from terminal No. 87 of the fuel pump relay and is heated as long as the fuel pump operates.

The oxygen sensor system uses a malfunction indicator, which is located on the instrument panel. The malfunction indicator light will come on if a malfunction is present in the oxygen sensor circuit. The oxygen sensor malfunction indicator light receives voltage from the CIS-E control unit.

There are 2 versions of the malfunction light:

* Version 1: Lights up briefly when starting the engine.
* Version 2: Lights up as soon as the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started. If an oxygen sensor failure is present, the malfunction indicator lights up after about 5 minutes of engine operation.

LAMBDA CONTROL

Lambda control is integrated in ECU and monitors input signals from sensors. After input signals are amplified, output signals for differential pressure regulator are determined.

Control range of differential pressure regulator current is 0-16 mA. Mean value at which control takes place is 8 mA.

Lambda control is made inoperative by signal from ECU under these conditions:

* Oxygen sensor not ready for operation or is defective.
* During deceleration shut-off.
* Under full load conditions.
* During acceleration enrichment or when starting engine at coolant temperatures below 60°F (15°C) until coolant temperature reaches 105°F (40°C).

CAUTION: With ignition turned on or the engine running, the plug on the CIS-E control unit must not be disconnected. Voltage or current peaks can destroy the control unit.
LOGIC CIRCUIT

Input signals from various sensors and switches are continuously monitored by the electronic control unit. With engine at operating temperature, a rapid temperature change is simulated by unplugging the coolant temperature sensor. The microprocessor in the control unit will compare this momentary temperature with the temperarture in its memory.

The control unit will recognize the abrupt temperature change as an open circuit, and is programmed to change the fixed operating mode. The control unit does not recognize gradual changes as malfunctions, and will continue to operate normally.
FIXED OPERATING MODE

In the event of an illogical signal received by the control unit (system malfunction, open or circuit) the control unit will automatically revert to a fixed operating mode. This means that the engine will continue to run but not at its optimum, electronically controlled performance level.
EZL IGNITION OPERATION

The ignition control module stores a number of ignition characteristics for typical engine load speed ranges, idle speed ignition, and full load ignition characteristics. The ignition timing is selected from values stored in the control module based on input regarding intake manifold vacuum, coolant temperature, engine speed and throttle valve position.

Activation of the electronic ignition system is by the position indicator, which senses 3 segments on the flywheel/flexplate which are offset 120°. The ignition control module recognizes the segment front edge as a negative signal and the rear edge as a positive signal.

When starting the engine, the ignition timing is fixed up to about 270 RPM through the rear edge of the segments. The transition from the fixed ignition timing to the computed timing (corresponding to operating conditions at the moment) takes place above 270 RPM.

The intake manifold vacuum sensor in the ignition control module senses the momentary load condition of the engine and makes the necessary adjustments. During warm-up, different ignition characteristics are blocked, depending on coolant temperature.
Ignition Control Module

The ignition control modules are made by Bosch and Siemens Corporations. The ignition control module has a microprocessor, and an intake manifold vacuum sensor.
Position Indicator

The position indicator (inductance transmitter) transmits an AC voltage signal for controlling the ignition timing (firing point) to the ignition control module depending on segment position on the flywheel or flex plate.
Flywheel or Flexplate Segments

There are 3 segments (offset by 120°) on the flexplate or flywheel which are used for controlling ignition timing.
Coolant Temperature Sensor

The coolant temperature sensor is located on the side of the cylinder head. A 2-pin coolant temperature sensor is used for the ignition system and CIS-E injection system. Depending on coolant temperature, the sensor transmits a resistance value to the ignition control module where the respective ignition characteristics are processed.
Throttle Valve Switch

The throttle valve switch has idle and full load contacts. The idle contact controls the following: ignition at idle, ignition at deceleration and acceleration enrichment. The full load contact controls the fuel injection system.
High Voltage Distributor

The high voltage distributor is attached to the front cover of the cylinder head and is driven directly from the camshaft.

COLD START SYSTEM
Additional Air Valve

1. Check switch-off point of additional air valve. With coolant temperature below 70°F (20°C), engine should idle at 900-1200 RPM. Idle RPM should drop to normal when operating temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
2. If cold start idle is too low, compress connecting hose between idle speed air distributor and additional air valve. If no RPM change occurs, additional air valve is seized and must be replaced.
3. If idle RPM is too high at operating temperature, pinch connecting hose between idle speed air distributor and auxiliary air valve. If idle speed changes, auxiliary air valve is sticking or is not electrically heated.
4. Check voltage and resistance of auxiliary air valve. Nominal voltage should be 12 volts and nominal resistance should be 40 ohms.

Cold Start Valve

1. Unplug connector from cold start valve. Connect multimeter to cold start valve connector. Remove ignition distributor transmitter plug from switching unit (Green cable) or install Protective Plug (102 589 02 21 00) on diagnostic socket.
2. Check voltage while cranking starter motor. Reading should be at least 10 volts. Disconnect fuel line on cold start valve. Remove cold start valve and reconnect fuel line. Hold cold start valve into container.
3. Disconnect electrical plug at thermo time switch. Connect terminal "W" on plug to ground with jumper wire. Below 45°F (5°C), it is not necessry to ground thermo time switch connector. Start engine. Fuel coming from cold start valve should be in shape of cone. Disconnect ground if used.
4. Dry any gasoline from nozzle of cold start valve. No drops should form. Remove jumper wire. Install cold start valve with new gasket. Reconnect wiring to cold start valve. Install relay and reconnect fuel line.

NOTE: During warm-up and at operating temperature, current to differential pressure regulator is determined by coolant temperature sensor, O2 sensor and ECU.
FUEL DELIVERY & SYSTEM PRESSURES
Visual Check - Fuel Leak

1. Remove air cleaner and check for any visible fuel leaks. Remove fuel pump relay from relay board. Bridge terminals No. 7 and 8 long enough to establish fuel pressure. Push airflow sensor plate down manually.
2. Uniform resistance should be felt throughout travel after slight amount of free travel. No binding should be felt if sensor plate is released quickly. If upward movement of sensor plate is slow, resistance from control piston closely following adjusting lever should be felt. No binding should be evident.
3. Push airflow sensor plate completely down and hold there briefly. Slight fuel see page past control piston is acceptable. If no fuel leaks have been found, go to next test.

Fig. 10: Mercedes-Benz 190E Fuel Distributor Use these ports for delivery volume testing procedures.
System Pressure

1. There are 2 versions of Fuel Pressure Gauge (100 589 00 21 00) available. First version has junction block with 2 valve handles on it, which are numbered "1" or "3" in following procedure. Hose exiting side of junction block by "1" valve handle is hose "1".
2. Second version has single valve handle on junction block. Hose leaving junction block 180° from valve handle is "B" and hose leaving junction block 180° from line to gauge is "A". When testing system pressure, close valve "1" and open valve "3" on first version or open valve on second version.
3. Remove threaded pipe plug from test port in lower chamber of fuel distributor. Connect fuel pressure gauge line "1" or "A" to test port in lower chamber of fuel distributor. Use M12 X 1.5/M8 X 1 Reducing Bushing (102 589 06 63 00) to connect hose to chamber port.
4. Remove fuel supply line for cold start valve from top of fuel distributor. Attach pressure gauge line "3" or "B" to cold start fitting on fuel distributor upper chamber. System pressure is checked with engine off. Engine temperature has no effect upon system pressure test. Remove fuel pump relay. Bridge terminals No. 7 and 8.
5. System pressure should be 76.9-79.8 psi (5.4-5.6 kg/cm 2). If pressure is not correct, check for defective fuel pump, restricted fuel return line or defective differential pressure regulator. Open pressure gauge valve "1". Remove fuel pump relay bridge.

Lower Chamber (Differential) Pressure

NOTE: During warm-up and at operating temperature, current to differential pressure regulator is determined by coolant temperature sensor, O2 sensor and ECU.

1. Connect Meter Adapter Cable (102 589 04 63 00) between differential pressure regulator and multimeter. Disconnect O2 sensor lead at connector located under right front floor mat. Turn ignition on. Meter reading for lower chamber pressure should be constant 7-9 mA. If reading is not correct, check lambda control.
2. Bridge fuel pump socket terminals No. 7 and 8. Check lower chamber pressure, which should be about 5.8 psi (.4 kg/cm 2 ) less than system pressure reading determined earlier. Unplug coolant temperature sensor.
3. Note lower chamber pressure and differential pressure regulator current values. If coolant temperature sensor plug is disconnected, temperature sensor resistance should be zero ohms, differential pressure regulator current should be about 114-132 mA, and lower chamber pressure should be about 15.95-18.85 psi (1.1-1.3 kg/cm 2 ) less than system pressure. Reconnect coolant temperature sensor.
4. Check pressure and current values at coolant temperature of 64°F (20°C). Sensor resistance should be 2200-2800 ohms. Differential pressure regulator current 9-14 mA and lower chamber pressure should be about 5.8 psi (.4 kg/cm 2 ) less than system pressure.
5. Check pressure and current values at coolant temperature of 176°F (80°C). Sensor resistance should be 290-370 ohms, differential pressure regulator current 7-9 mA and lower chamber pressure should be about 5.8 psi (.4 kg/cm 2 ) less than system pressure.
6. Check pressure and current values at coolant temperature of 212°F (100°C). Sensor resistance should be 140-220 ohms, differential pressure regulator current 7-9 mA and lower chamber pressure should be about 5.8 psi (.4 kg/cm 2 ) less than system pressure.
7. If any readings are not in range, check coolant temperature sensor for malfunction. Coolant temperature sensor should also be checked if there are warm-up problems with vehicle. Test lambda control. If lower chamber pressure is over high point of range, check orifice in fuel distributor for restriction. Install fuel pump relay. Reconnect O2 sensor.

Deceleration Shut-Off Check

1. Start engine and bring it to operating temperature. Make sure control valve on fuel gauge is open. Briefly increase engine speed to 2500 RPM. As engine speed drops, lower chamber pressure should increase by 5.8 psi (.4 kg/cm 2 ).
2. Fuel delivery should start again at 900 RPM. If either pressure or engine speed reading is not correct, test throttle valve microswitch, test control current to differential pressure regulator, test ECU and test TD ignition signal.

Full Load Enrichment

1. Connect meter adapter cable between differential pressure regulator and multimeter. Start engine and bring it to operating temperature. Confirm that lambda control is working. Unplug connector from throttle valve switch. Bridge 2 leads on wiring to ECU.
2. Current reading should be constant at 7-9 mA. Lower chamber pressure should be about 5.8 psi (.4 kg/cm 2) less than measured system pressure. If pressure reading is not correct, test control current to differential pressure regulator and test TD ignition signal.

Acceleration Enrichment

1. In order to test acceleration enrichment function, cold engine operation must be simulated, as acceleration enrichment is not functional above 176°F (80°C). To simulate cold engine, connect a 25-k/ohm resistor wire between coolant sensor wiring connector and vehicle ground.
2. Start engine and bring engine speed up to 2500 RPM for short time. Lower chamber pressure should drop as engine speed increases. If lower chamber pressure does not drop, test airflow sensor potentiometer, test control current to differential pressure regulator and test ECU.

Residual Pressure & Internal Leak Testing

1. Run engine and check fuel pressures as described previously. Turn off engine and check residual pressure. Pressure should slowly drop below 41 psi (2.9 kg/cm 2 ), which is pressure required to open fuel injectors. If pressure drops rapidly to zero psi, replace check valve on fuel pump.
2. If pressure drops slowly to zero psi, disconnect fuel return line at diaphragm pressure regulator. There should be no flow of fuel, although slight see page is acceptable. Plug return line IMMEDIATELY if fuel flows heavily.
3. Pinch leak line at fuel accumulator. If pressure holds with line pinched, replace fuel accumulator. If no leaks have been found, remove cold start valve from manifold and check it for leaks under pressure. Replace valve if it leaks.
4. Disconnect pressure gauge and clean up any spilled fuel. Reconnect all fuel lines and run engine. Visually check all connections and lines for leaks.

Fuel Pump Delivery Volume

1. Remove fuel pump relay. Check current draw between socket No. 7 (terminal No. 87) and socket No. 8 (terminal No. 30). Draw of 6 amps indicates good fuel pump. Replace fuel pump with draw of more than 7 amps. Disconnect return line at diaphragm pressure regulator.
2. Attach locally made hose to fitting on regulator. Place other end of hose in measuring glass or beaker. Bridge sockets No. 7 and 8 with jumper wire to run fuel pump for 50 seconds. Nominal delivery volume should be one liter (.95 qt.) in 50 seconds with 11.5 volts supplied to fuel pump.
3. If actual delivery volume is low, make sure pump is receiving 11.5 volts. Check if dirty strainer in feed connection of fuel distributor is causing restriction. Check for pinched fuel lines causing restrictions.
4. Pinch leak line of fuel accumulator and repeat delivery volume test. If volume is now correct, replace fuel accumulator. If volume is still too low, replace fuel filter and repeat test. Replace fuel pump if volume remains low. Reconnect fuel return line and install fuel pump relay.

Fuel Distributor Delivery Volume

1. Unplug oxygen sensor lead under right front floor mat. Disconnect small fuel return line running between fuel distributor and diaphragm pressure regulator at fuel distributor end. Close line with proper sized plug. Connect locally made hose to open fuel distributor port.
2. Place other end of hose in measuring glass or beaker. Remove fuel pump relay. Bridge sockets No. 7 and 8 with jumper wire to run fuel pump for one minute. Nominal fuel delivery volume should be 4.4-5.0 ozs. (.13-.15L) per minute with 11.5 volts to fuel pump. If delivery volume is too low, replace either fuel distributor or differential pressure regulator.

Great info!!!!!

Does anyone out there know of a way to keep the idle between 750-850 rpms when in "D" and the AC on? I have long duration cams that need to ilde in this range in order to have a decent idle. Theres got to be a way to modify either the ECU, ICM or ICV. I know they did it for pre 1985 cars just need to know hot to modify the ICM (idle control module) for post 1985 GEN II 560's. I'm trying alternate methods but want to it without jerry rigging the Idle control valve.

Now the problem is we don't know which parts of the injection and ignition are on the chasis. Being those we lack.
Besides the ones that I know we need:
- N3 ECU
- N1/2 ignition EZL
- N8 idle speed ecu
- N16/4 fuel pump relay
- R16 and R17 are jacks, I guess I need 'em too
what else?

No need:

Could anyone explain this paragraph for me?


IDLE & FULL LOAD CONTACT

1. Connect on-off ratio tester to diagnostic socket and turn on ignition. On-off ratio should be about 70%. Deflect airflow sensor plate about .79" (20 mm). On-off ratio should be 10%. Go to step 2).
2. If reading is 70%, throttle valve contact does not close or there's an interruption in wire to idle speed contact. Close airflow sensor plate. On-off ratio should be 40%. Go to step 3).
3. Open throttle valve fully. On-off ratio should be 20%. If not okay, replace full load contact. If okay, test is complete.

I don't understand #2... where it says "close airflow sensor plate. on-off ratio should be 40%.

If it's at 70% when closed, how will opening it and then closing it turn it to 40%?
