On-Board Diagnostics
Type of diagnosis:
|
-
|
Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.
|
Enable criteria:
Fault criteria:
|
-
|
Voltage below 0.224 V for more than 1 s.
|
Dependents:
System reaction to a fault:
:
|
-
|
A substitute value is calculated continuously as follows: Starting intake air temperature is incremented with 1°C per 60 g air mass/s. The value is maximized to 90°C and is used as soon as fault criteria for the sensor are fulfilled.
|
OK report:
|
-
|
P0116 Test 1 and Test 2 performed once and fault criteria not fulfilled. Fault criteria for P0117 or P0118 not fulfilled.
