MS family index
This branch sits within Siemens / Continental. Keep common methods here and hardware, memory layouts, software coverage and variant differences with their ECU pages.
| ECU family | Starting point |
|---|---|
| MS41 | M52 / M52 OBDII / US S52 subvariant references. |
| MS42 | M52TU; family memory layout and configuration. |
| MS43 | M54; driver demand, hardware changes and software packages. |
| MS45 | MS45.0 and MS45.1; fuel-mass strategy and separate sensor contexts. |
Shared guides
- Calibration files and programming — identification, definitions, read formats and a reproducible write record.
- Injector data and fueling checks — flow, latency, units and worked arithmetic.
- MS41, MS42 and MS43 data logging — matching packet definitions and useful baseline logs.
- MS42 and MS43 load reference — distinct signals for injection, ignition and VANOS.
- MS42 and MS43 fuel and camshaft control — shared map relationships and validation.
The shared guides state their covered families. Placement under MS does not imply applicability to every Siemens / Continental controller. MSS and Simos retain their own branches.
Reference vocabulary
Siemens terminology remains a generic reference. Choosing ECU definition files provides the cross-family provenance checklist. The words in a parameter name help locate a function; its software-specific definition establishes the meaning and units.
