Idle speed: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The crankshaft sensor delivers a signal regarding the position of the crankshaft to the Digital Engine Electronics (DME). The Digital Engine Electronics (DME) use this signal to calculate the engine speed. With additional information from other control units (for example, power requirement of the auxiliary components), the Digital Engine Electronics (DME) regulate a stable idle speed.
