2. Input received from Engine ECU in Stop-Start mode (micro-hybrid mode)

The MBFM inhibits that starter relay and the engine will not crank under the following
conditions -

a. The engine not crank, if the engine speed is above a set speed. This is to avoid the
starter operation when the engine is already running,
b. The engine will not crank if either the gear is not in Neutral position or the clutch
pedal is not fully pressed.
c. The starter will cut off if it is engaged for more than10 seconds continuously.
d. Under attempted theft situation – Locking with remote and opening with key and

The MBFM controls the accessory relay under engine cranking conditions. When the
engine is cranked either by Ignition switch or by Engine ECU (micro-hybrid) , the MBFM
will inhibit the accessory relay to reduce all external loads to aid in healthy cranking

10. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is controlled by the MBFM. The MBFM
receives information on tyre pressure & temperature from the sensors and communicates
it to the instrument cluster display through LIN.

Sensors (5 nos) transmit pressure and temperature information when vehicle speed
reaches approximately 40 Kms/hr, every 1 minute. However, if there is change in the
temperature/pressure above a predetermined level, the information will be
communicated to the receiver even if the vehicle is stationary.

Description

The wheel sensors communicate with the controller (which is in the MBFM) using Radio
Frequency (RF) signal.

This error is registered when–

− when pressure in any of the tyre (including Spare Wheel) is ≤16 PSI.
− when vehicle is stationery and pressure in any of the tyres (including spare wheel) is < 11
PSI.

Note: the indication of the complaint is also reported in the instrument cluster. In the
cluster it will be indicated by-
Tyre pressure telltale alert & corresponding tyre location indicator will blink.

sketch).
Buzzer will also beep with the same frequency (Fast Blink and Beep). Buzzer can be
disabled by pressing the MODE button for the Current Ignition Cycle.

Note: Even if the complaint is rectified by the customer, the error will be stored in the
MBFM for a defined no of cycles. Hence from the MBFM if the complaint has been
rectified by customer, delete. Also the environmental conditions will give when this
complaint had occurred, that may be useful in cases of dispute of the run flat/ tyre
damages.

Rectification:
Fill the tyres to the correct pressure.
If the complaint is repeating after certain no of days, then check the wheel rim for damage
and also the tyre bead for damages ( while doing the R&R)

The repair methods given by the manufacturer in this document are based on the technical specifications, current at the time of release. The
methods may be modified as a result of changes introduced by the manufacturer in the production of the various component units and

B 1069 Power ( Battery) over voltage ( > 16 Volts)

The battery voltage is monitored by the MBFM

The correct operating range is 9 V to 16 V.

Below 9 Volts the System is in under voltage state. Below 8 V the system will stop all the
outputs. If the system notices below 8 V and when the vehicle reports at workshop that
time it is OK then please check for the cause of low voltage ( excess current being drawn-
dark current, short which got compensated by charging system)

Above 16 V is over voltage. At this voltage also the MBFM will stop functioning.
This information is also useful to find out the root cause of any ECU or electronic failure.
For this also the charging system and the complete wiring should be investigated to
prevent recurrence.
