Repair process for fault code P2004-[ ]
Functional description of the MAF sensor:
Upon engine start, a current is passed through the MAF sensor, heating the wire film to a certain temperature. As air passes through the sensor, this
film is cooled and the sensor determines how much electricity is required to keep the film up to temperature. This enables the sensor to determine
how much air (in weight) is passing through the sensor at any given moment. This signal is then sent to the ECU which it compares to a
preprogrammed map to deliver fuel and ignition spark, taking into account other engine inputs such as engine RPM and temperature.
The air intake temperature sensor is also mounted in the mass air flow sensor.
The monitor of the MAF sensor is active after a specified time after engine start and above a specified engine speed threshold.2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)

Description of test steps of remedy process fault codes P2004-[ ]
Step A: Test voltage supply 5V of component B2/5 ( MAF sensor).
Step A1: Additionally please check the voltage supply of component B2/5 (MAF sensor) also with running engine to extend this test on higher
temperature and vibration conditions of the MAF sensor.2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)
Page 148
Step A2: If the measured value is not O.K. please follow the next steps shown in Fig. 2:
Step B: Test voltage supply 12V of component B2/5 ( MAF sensor).
Step B1: Additionally please check the voltage supply of component B2/5 (MAF sensor) also with running engine to extend this test on higher
temperature and vibration conditions of the MAF sensor.
If the measured value is not O.K., check for a short circuit on the wiring or connector of the12V battery voltage cable and also the Z-connection
(Z7/35) of the MAF sensor (B2/5).
Step C: Test signal voltage of component B2/5 ( MAF sensor) by means of actual value.
Note:
The specified value of the HFM-SFI voltage depends on the intake air temperature (B2/5b1):
Specified value2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)
Page 149
Note:
The signal voltage test is to be done with ignition ON and engine off. If the engine speed (also shown in the screen of the signal voltage test, Fig. 4)
is not 0 rpm, the specified value of the signal voltage can't be used for the signal voltage test.
Note:
In order to avoid the possibility of a false signal voltage reading please only perform the signal voltage test with the air filter housing completely
assembled on the hot film MAF sensor. Also please ensure that there is no exhaust gas extraction device on the tail pipe of the vehicle. Any air flow
thru the hot film MAF sensor during the signal voltage test will cause a false reading.
If the status of the relevant actual value is out of range from the specified value and all test requirements were fulfilled, replace the mass air flow
sensor and send this part with the required DAS original printouts to our Quality Evaluation Center.
Note:
Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, check for sand and dirt particles in the clean side (between air filter and engine) of the air intake system
and clean if necessary. Check complete air intake system with air cleaner and repair as necessary.
Required DAS-printouts for warranty returns:
^ Printout of all fault codes of the ME2-SFI-motor electronics (short test).
^ Freeze frame data of all fault codes stored in the ME2-SFI-motor electronics.
^ Signal voltage printout Fig. 4 (page 10) of component B2/5 (Hot film MAF sensor).
Returned MAF sensors without the required information will be debited back to the dealer.

Step D3: Test voltage supply of component B2/5b1 (Intake air temperature sensor).
Step D4: Test internal resistance of component B2/5b1 (Intake air temperature sensor).
If the measured value of the resistor of the intake air temperature sensor is out of range from the specified value and all test requirements were
fulfilled, replace the mass air flow sensor and send this part with the required DAS-printouts (see below) to our Quality Evaluation Center.
Note:
Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, check for sand and dirt particles in the clean side (between air filter and engine) of the air intake system
and clean if necessary. Check complete air intake system with air cleaner and repair as necessary.
Required DAS-printouts for warranty returns:
^ Printout of all fault codes of the ME2-SFI-motor electronics (short test).

Description of the Adaptive Mixture Control as Part of Lambda Control
Description of the adaptive mixture control as part of the lambda control
The catalytic after treatment of the exhaust gas using a closed loop three way catalytic converter has proven to be a highly effective means of
meeting the current low emission limits.
Approximately 14.7 kg of air are required for complete combustion of 1 kg of gasoline. The excess air factor lambda is used to define this A/F ratio.
The engine must be operated within a very narrow range in which lambda = 1 +/- 0.005 . Such precision can only be achieved with precise closed
loop control of the A/F mixture with a lambda oxygen sensor installed upstream of the converter. A second lambda sensor downstream of the
catalytic converter increases the precision even further.
To compensate individual engine differences and long-lasting drifts in sensors and actuators of the injection system and also to compensate small not
measured air leakage, the lambda control contains an adaptive pilot control. This adaptive pilot control takes over the controller correction in two
different ranges (see Fig. x). It takes a certain time of learning in each range, until the correction is completed.
Deviations of the A/F ratio in range 1 is compensated by an additive factor and in range 2 by a multiplying factor. There are individual factors for the
right and the left banks of the engine.
Note:
In the idle speed range, the additive factor can also be affected by the multiplicative factor. For example, if the multiplicative factor (adapted in
range 2) at idle speed is too large, the additive factor (adapted in range 1) will adapt in a negative direction.
Example:
Idle adaptation of (injection time) + 0.9 ms means additional fuel needs to be added at idle speed range. Look for cause why engine is running lean.
A partial load adaptation factor of 0.885 (88.5% of regular injection time) means fuel is taken away in partial load range. Look for cause why engine
is running to rich.2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)
