Fault symptoms


CHECK ENGINE.

Low idling speed.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- 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.

- Engine running. Car stationary. Accelerator pedal fully released. Engine load lower than 225 mg/c. Idle speed control requests greatest possible air mass per combustion.


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


- Engine speed is more than 100 rpm lower than the requested idling speed for 5s.


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


- P0501, P0502, P1230, P1530, P1531 and P1532.


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


- None.


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.)


- Diagnosis performed once and fault criteria not fulfilled.




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


- Type III.


Diagnostic help

If other diagnostic trouble codes are generated, check whether to start fault diagnosis with any of them. Then check if the throttle is in limp-home mode.
