4.5 Operation logic
4.5.1 System self-adaptation
The control unit features self-adaptive functions that recognize the changes occurring in the
engine following time-adjustment processes and component or engine ageing.
These changes are stored into the memory as basic mapping modifications: their purpose is to
adapt the system operation to the progressive engine and component alterations compared
with as-new features.
This self-adapting feature also makes it possible to compensate for the unavoidable
differences (due to production tolerances) of replaced components (if any).
The control unit modifies, through the exhaust gas analysis, the basic mapping with respect to
the as-new features of the engine.
