Fault symptoms


CHECK ENGINE.

Cruise control not working.

Low engine torque on manual cars.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- Tests 1 and 2: Continuous. However, it is interrupted once the fault criteria have been fulfilled and does not restart until the next driving cycle.


Enable criteria: (Conditions that must be fulfilled for diagnostics to be performed.)


- Global conditions for this diagnostic trouble code: When starting the engine, the atmospheric pressure must exceed 78 kPa and the temperature of the coolant and the intake air must exceed -7°C.

- Test 1: Engine running.

- Test 2: Engine running. Speed is 50-205 km/h for more than 10s. Brake pedal not depressed.


Fault criteria: (When enable criteria have been fulfilled, diagnostics will check if the fault criteria have been fulfilled.)


- Test 1: Speed exceeding 270 km/h.

- Test 2: Speed increases more than 120 km/h or drops more than 50 km/h within 1s.


Dependents: (Once fault criteria have been fulfilled, a number of other diagnostics must report OK before the diagnostic trouble code can finally be generated.)


- None.


System reaction to a fault: (Once the fault criteria have been fulfilled, certain measures will sometimes be taken.)


- Cruise control blocked. Vehicle speed (Bus from MIU) is used as a substitute value.


OK report: (This diagnosis may be included as a dependent to another diagnosis and must therefore report OK even if it is continuous. The OK report is also used in fault handling to count down the fault counter.)


- 60s has passed since start. Vehicle speed has exceeded 0 on some occasion.


Fault handling: (Refer to section “Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.)


- Type III.


Diagnostic help

Fault diagnosis concerns an electrical fault in the connecting leads. (ABS is checked first to see if the fault is there.)

Diagnostic tool functions related to this fault:


Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.

Vehicle speed (Lead from ABS.), unit km/h.


Refer also to the description of readings under ”Fault diagnosis, general” for more information

Check the wiring

Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to check if there are intermittent breaks and short-circuits in the leads. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic instrument during the test.
