Running unevenly and misfiring.

On-Board Diagnostics
Type of diagnosis:
|
-
|
Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.
|
Enable criteria:
|
-
|
General conditions for this trouble code: Atmospheric pressure must exceed 78 kPa and the engine coolant and intake air temperatures must exceed -7°C.
|
|
-
|
Engine running. Main relay voltage exceeding 10V. Ignition discharge module combustion signals registering. The number of missing combustion signals is accumulated for each cylinder every 1000 engine revolutions. The total number of accepted misfires during 1000 engine revolutions is specified in a load and engine speed-dependent matrix.
|
Fault criteria:
|
-
|
Number of missing combustions exceeding number of accepted misfires.
|
Dependents:
System reaction to a fault:
|
-
|
Under high engine loads, closed loop will be blocked while misfiring occurs.
|
OK report:
|
-
|
Provided that the fault criteria have not been fulfilled during the driving cycle, an OK report will be generated when the ignition is turned off and before the engine stops. Two types of OK report can be given: Type 1: If a diagnostic trouble code is already stored for the diagnosis and the same operating conditions have arisen (engine coolant above or below 71°C, engine speed ±375 rpm and load ±10%). Type 2: If a diagnostic trouble code is not already stored for the diagnosis or the same operating conditions have not arisen.

Fault handling:
(See “Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.)
Diagnostic help
If any other trouble codes have been generated, check whether fault diagnosis should be started on any of them first. Read Freeze Frame and change spark plugs.
Then check the compression, ignition and injector for the relevant cylinder.
Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:
|
•
|
Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.
|
|
•
|
Misfire counter for the relevant cylinder.
|
|
•
|
Activating misfire counter reset.
|
|
•
|
Activating ignition trigger for relevant cylinder.
|
|
•
|
Activating injector test for relevant cylinder.
|
See also the description of activations under ”Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.
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.
