Airmass / Combustion

mg/comb

0

2000

During crankshaft rotation

The value shows the air mass passing the mass air flow sensor per induction (combustion) and has accordingly been supplied by the throttle.

The value should always (sometimes after a slight delay) be the same as the requested value. In the case of a lower value the engine will not provide the requested torque.

2000

During crankshaft rotation

It is estimated that this air mass passes through the engine per intake (combustion). It is calculated on the basis of: intake pressure, intake air temperature and engine speed.

The value should normally (sometimes after a slight delay) be the same as that passing through the mass air flow sensor per induction (combustion). In the case of major variation, the mass air flow sensor is not measuring the mass air flow correctly.

Airmass Deviation from Calculated

%

-25

25

During crankshaft rotation

The value shows the variation between current and calculated air mass and is consequently an indication of how accurately the mass air flow sensor value coincides with the amount of air supplied to the engine. A negative value indicates that the amount of air shown by the mass air flow sensor is too small.

The value should be within +/- 15%.

Note: The value is computed in the diagnostic tool and is strongly damped. In connection with load changes, however, major variations are perfectly normal. Readings should be taken only when the value is stable and the load constant. When taking readings at idling speed the evap canister purge valve must be disconnected and replaced by a test lamp.

Fault 1: Vacuum leakage at idling speed. 2: Leakage between compressor and throttle body under partial load. 3: Faulty mass air flow sensor.

Purge Adaptation

%

-25

25

During crankshaft rotation

Purging system's correction of fuel quantity. During purging, adaptation is adjusted so that the closed loop system oscillates round 0%. A negative value indicates that the purge gases contain a richer mixture than 14.7:1, a positive value indicates a leaner mixture than 14.7:1.

Adaptation is extremely useful for checking fuel faults: reset additive and multiplicative adaptation, unplug the purge valve's connector and connect the test lamp. When the lamp flashes, adaptation shows the entire fuel fault. A maximum deviation of 15% from 0 is OK.

If you cannot localize the fuel fault you can observe adaptation while you plug various hoses, squirt starting spray or the like on suspected leakage points, change the mass air flow sensor or fuel pressure regulator. Adaptation goes towards 0 when you have found the fault.

Additive Adaptation

mg/comb

-10

10

When crankshaft is stationary or rotating

Additive adaptation's correction of the fuel quantity. Adaptation takes place at idling speed and corrects for vacuum leaks. During adaptation the value is adjusted so that the closed loop control system oscillates round 0%.

If multiplicative adaptation shows a neutral value and additive adaptation shows a wide deviation, certain conclusions can be drawn: a positive value indicates a vacuum leak and a negative value internal leakage in the purge valve. Also check the fuel pressure regulator's response to changes in pressure.

See purging adaptation for final checking of work performed.

Multiplicative Adaptation

%

-25

25

When crankshaft is stationary or rotating

Multiplicative adaptation's correction of the fuel quantity. Adaptation takes place under partial load and corrects for differences (in per cent) between the measured air quantity and the quantity of injected fuel. During adaptation the value is adjusted so that closed loop control oscillates round 0%.

If there is wide deviation from the neutral value, check the fuel pressure, pressure response and flow capacity. A negative value may indicate leakage between compressor and throttle body. Compare with another mass air flow sensor.

See purging adaptation for final checking of work performed.

Shows ON when the maximum permitted torque for the current gear determines the mass air flow which the mass air flow control system is to request from the throttle control system.

Training: Under high loads, it is normally the knock control, gearbox or max. torque at current engine speed for the engine variant in question that determines the desired value. Torque is limited to 230 Nm in gear 1 and R, and to 350 Nm in gears 1-4. In 5th gear, an engine speed-dependent torque limitation takes place below 2000 rpm. This is to prevent vibration. At higher engine speeds, the limitation is exactly the same as the limitation for max. engine torque. In 5th gear, max. engine torque is therefore seldom active. Tip: Read engine torque at the same time.

In selector lever position R the torque is limited to 140 Nm at engine speeds below 2000 rpm. Higher torque is permitted at higher engine speeds, a maximum of 280 Nm above 2500 rpm. The purpose is to avoid vibration. Tip: Obtain an engine torque reading at the same time.

ON/OFF

0

1

During crankshaft rotation

A certain number of engine revolutions must have been completed since starting before closed loop control may be activated. Shows ON before the number of engine revolutions has been completed

Training: Shows the function. After restarting promptly it is advisable to wait a while so that afterstart enrichment is not counteracted by early activation of the closed loop control system.





Read values Unit Min. Max. Value applicable Description Use
O2S1 Not Yet Left 0,4V - 0,6V

ON/OFF

0

1

During crankshaft rotation

Lambda sensor voltage must have left the band between 0.4 V and 0.6 V before closed loop control may be activated. This is a sign that the sensor is warm. Shows ON before the voltage has left the voltage band.

The sensor is high-ohmic and "suspended" in 0.47 V from the control module. When the sensor is warm it produces a voltage which is dependent on the mixture ratio. The sensor is then low-ohmic and takes over control. If an open circuit or sensor fault occurs this will not happen and a diagnostic trouble code will be generated.
