Idle speed control keeps the idle speed of the engine constant at approx. 700 RPM. The CDI control unit (N3/9) does this by reading the following information:

  • "COMP_OFF" (refrigerant compressor (A9) deactivated) from the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) via the Controller Area Network bus Class C (engine compartment) (CAN-C) (except model 461)
  • The fuel pressure of the rail via the rail pressure sensor (B4/6)
  • Coolant temperature from the coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)
  • The position of the accelerator pedal via the accelerator pedal sensor (B37)
  • The engine speed via the crankshaft Hall sensor (B70).
  • The selector lever position "P" or "N" from the electronic selector lever module control unit (N15/5) (models 203, 209, 211, 219, 461, 463) or DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) (models 164, 251) via CAN-C

The CDI control unit uses the signal from the crankshaft Hall sensor to calculate the engine speed (actual value) and compares this actual value with the respective specified value stored in the performance map, which is dependent on other variables and messages. The CDI control unit subsequently regulates the fuel pressure in the rail via the quantity control valve and the pressure regulator valve (Y74) and the injection time via actuation of the fuel injectors (Y76).

IMPORTANT The fuel pressure in the rail and injection timing of the fuel injectors gives the injection quantity.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
