Engine torque requests, general points
The torque interface in the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) coordinates and sets priorities for the requirements of all systems (according to drivability and priority setting), which determine engine torque requirement.
It also determines how dynamically each requirement is to be implemented.

The following can set an engine torque requirement:
- Driver, through accelerator pedal sensor (B37)
- Transmission control, through ETC control unit (N15/3)
- ESP, through ESP, SPS [PML] and BAS control unit (N47-5)
- Cruise control, through ESP control unit
- Distronic, through ESP control unit (if Distronic present)
- Maximum torque limitation
- Maximum engine speed limitation
- Maximum vehicle speed limit

Engine torque requests function sequence
According to the dynamic requirements, the ME-SFI control unit varies the engine torque requirement, by:
- Lengthening or shortening of the injection time of the fuel injection valves (Y62)
- Advance or retard adjustment of the ignition angles of the ignition coils (T1) (this allows very rapid variation of the engine torque)
- Combined adaptation of injection time and ignition angle

Torque reserve
If the injection time is increased and the ignition angle is retarded at the same time, the engine torque remains the same at first. However, the engine torque can then be raised very quickly by advancing the ignition angle.
