Fig 1: Intake Air Temperature Correction Function (Engine 271)
G04738472

The task of the correction of the intake and charge air temperature is to reduce the thermal stresses on the engine at high temperatures of the intake air and charge air.

If the intake air temperature/charge air temperature is too high, ignition timing is adjusted at high "load" to "Late" (retarded).

The correction by retarding the ignition timing is map-controlled by the ME control unit.

It begins as of an intake/charge air temperature of approx. 35 °C and reaches its maximum at approx. 65 °C.

The ignition timing is retarded e.g.:

The following information is processed in the ME-SFI control unit for this purpose:

IMPORTANT The ignition angle corrections of the coolant temperature, intake/charge air temperature and anti-knock control are added in line with the performance map.
