Fault symptom


CHECK ENGINE.


On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:


- Once per driving cycle.


Enable criteria:


- Battery voltage should be 10.2-15.8 V.

- Coolant temperature at start should be between -11 °C and +35 °C.

- Total fuel quantity since start (within a period of 820-1220 seconds) should exceed 500 cm 3 .

- P0117, P0118 should not be detected.

- Speed should be 0-220 km/h.


Fault criteria:


- Temperature increase is less than 26 °C or greater than 120 °C since start.


Dependents:


- None.


System reaction to a fault:


- The control module will continue using the coolant temperature substitute value, -20 °C on start and +60 °C when the engine is running. The following limitations apply: Pedal position sensor adjustable to max 60%


OK report:


- When the temperature increase has been within the permitted interval.


Fault handling: (See section Fault handling III, other emissions-related components and functions for more information)


- Type III.
