The electronic accelerator controls the engine
output electronically and, over and above
intake-air control, offers the advantage that
functions such as idling speed control, cruise
control or engine governing can be executed
easily and comfortably.
.
The throttle valve can be opened regardless of
the accelerator position, and this serves to
reduce throttle losses.
The ideal combination of throttle valve cross-
section and charge pressure produce the
necessary torque.
In this way, the throttle valve can be opened
fully while the accelerator pedal has not been
fully depressed.With electronic accelerator, much improved
emissions and higher fuel economy are
achieved in specific load states.
Over and above this, any accelerator
characteristic can be programmed, e.g.
gradual acceleration when driving at low
speed.
The electronic accelerator is used for reducing
and increasing torque and does not adversely
affect exhaust emissions.

Subsystems of the Motronic
Exhaust gas temperature control
A new feature of Audi automobiles
is a function which monitors
exhaust gas temperature over the
entire engine speed range.
For turbocharged engines, the maximum
permissible exhaust gas temperature is a key
design criterion.
To protect the exhaust gas turbocharger and
the exhaust manifold, the exhaust gas
temperature should not exceed 1000 °C for a
lengthy period of time.
Since many of the components which
influence the exhaust gas temperature have
tolerances, thermodynamic adaptation
previously took place at 950 °C for safety’s
sake.
This was achieved by enriching the air/fuel
mixture.
The exhaust gas temperature is recorded in a
cylinder-bank-specific manner by the two
exhaust gas temperature senders G235 and
G236.
The Motronic controls the exhaust gas
temperature to 980 °C by enriching the air/fuel
mixture .
It is therefore possible to largely dispense with
the prophylactic enrichment process that has
been standard practice until now.
The mixture is only enriched...
... when necessary and
... to the extent necessary.
This means that engine operation with lambda
= 1 is possible up to high load and engine
speed ranges.
Advantage:

• Improved efficiency and reduction of fuel
consumption as well as exhaust emissions.

Sensors
Charge pressure sender G31
The charge pressure sender is located
upstream of the throttle valve control part.
The Motronic supplies the sender with a
voltage of 5 volts and earth.
The signal which the sender generates is a
pressure- proportional voltage ranging from 0
to 5 volts.
At atmospheric pressure (at sea-level), the
voltage is approx. 2.5 volts.
The signal is used for charge pressure control.
The Motronic also needs information on
charge pressure so that it can take counter-
measures if the maximum permissible
pressure is exceeded.
Substitute function and self-diagnosis:
If sender G31 fails, the charge pressure is
controlled via the characteristic curve (engine
speed-dependent). This will result in a
deficiency of engine power.
SSP 198/29
Charge pressure sender G31
The altitude sender F96 ....
... is integrated in the engine control unit, as is
normally the case with turbocharged engines.
... is required to control the charge pressure. In
conditions of decreasing air pressure (lower
density), the charge pressure is reduced to
prevent the turbocharger overspeeding.
... influences the air/fuel mixture composition
at engine start-up. The starting mixture is
leaned down with rising altitude.Substitute function and self-diagnosis
If a signal fails, the charge pressure is reduced
to a safe level, which results in a deficiency of
engine power.
Adaption of the injection quantity at start-up
no longer takes place.
The fault message “Control unit defective“ is
displayed in the self-diagnosis.
The following chapter presents the new features of the sensors, provided that they have not
already been described in the chapter on Subsystems of Motronic.

The term “interfaces“ is used to
describe the control unit connections
and wiring connections of the various
control units.

The fuel consumption signal...
... is a data message which is conditioned by
the engine control unit. The sum total of the
high levels during a defined period of time
corresponds to the injected fuel quantity.... is required by the dash panel insert to
calculate fuel consumption and range.
The interfaces of the cruise control system (CCS) ...
... are linked to the controls on the steering
column switch.
Cruise control is executed by the
engine control unit by means of the
electronic accelerator function.
Road speed can be kept constant as
of approx. 25 kph.The CCS must be enabled or disabled using
the “login procedure“ function (as with TDI
engines).
When the control unit is enabled, a “G“
appears in the control unit identification (refer
to Workshop Manual).
