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 72 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 the fault criteria are not fulfilled during the driving cycle the OK report occurs at ignition off before the engine stalls. Two types of OK reports can be given: Type 1: If a DTC is already stored for the diagnosis and similar operating conditions have occurred (coolant temperature above or below 71°C, engine speed ±375 rpm and load ±10%). Type 2: If there is no DTC stored for the diagnosis or similar operating conditions have not occurred

Fault handling II, emission-related misfiring or fault in fuel system
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 make a general inspection of connectors and hoses and subsequently a thorough check of compression, ignition and fuel system.

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.
