P1172

Fault symptoms

•	Engine may stop straight after starting, run unevenly and misfire.

Conditions

The following conditions apply for this DTC:

•	Engine running and a multiplicative adaptation has been carried out during the current driving cycle.

•	Closed loop active.

•	Closed loop below -25 % for more than 20 s.

Diagnostic help

At some time, the engine fuel requirement has been 25% lower than calculated by the control module using information from the mass air flow sensor.

Fault diagnosis first determines if the pressure sensors indicate about the same value with the ignition ON, as the mass air flow sensor is then compared with the intake air pressure. If the pressure sensors are OK but the mass air flow sensor value is not correct, then air leaks between the compressor and the throttle are checked for first and then the mass air flow sensor is changed.

If the air quantity is OK, then the fuel supply is checked, i.e. pressure, response, pump flow and finally the injectors.

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:

•	Closed loop, unit %.

•	Multiplicative Adaptation, unit %

•	Additive Adaptation, unit mg/c.

•	Purge Adaptation, unit %.

•	Air mass deviation from calculated, unit %.

Checking the wiring

Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
