On-Board Diagnostics
Type of diagnosis:
|
-
|
Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.
|
Enable criteria:
|
-
|
Engine running and closed loop active. A multiplicative and an additive adaptation have been done.
|
Fault criteria:
|
-
|
Multiplicative adaptation exceeds 25%.
|
Dependents:
|
-
|
P0116, P0117, P0118, P0131, P0132, P0134, P0444, P0445 and P1105.

System reaction to a fault:
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

Diagnostic help
The engine's fuel requirement is 25% greater under partial load than that which the control module has calculated using information from the mass air flow sensor.
Fault diagnosis first determines if the pressure sensors indicate about the same value with the ignition ON, as the mass air flow sensor is then compared with the intake air pressure. If the pressure sensors are OK but the mass air flow sensor value is not correct, the mass air flow sensor must be changed. Air leaks will not generate this trouble code.
If the air quantity is OK, then the fuel supply is checked, i.e. pressure, response, pump flow and finally the injectors.
