On Board Diagnostic (OBD), technical data

Equipment

  1. Data is transmitted between the control module and the VAS5051 tester via operating mode "On Board Diagnostic (OBD)".
  2. DTC memory is designed for permanent memory and is therefore not dependent on voltage supply.
  3. Display of stored DTCs occurs after initiation of display mode. Refer to «Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/cooling-fan/#30l-6-cyl-5v-engine-controls-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-avk-bgn__diagnostic-trouble-code-dtc-memory-checking) .
  4. DTC memory must be erased after malfunction is repaired. Refer to «Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, erasing»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/cooling-fan/#30l-6-cyl-5v-engine-controls-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-avk-bgn__diagnostic-trouble-code-dtc-memory-erasing) .

Important

  1. Readiness code must be generated every time DTC memory is erased. Refer to «Readiness code, generating»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/cooling-fan/#30l-6-cyl-5v-engine-controls-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-avk-bgn__readiness-code-generating) .
  2. If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a worsening of emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83- in the instrument cluster. Meaning of exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83-. Refer to «Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in instrument cluster»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/cooling-fan/#30l-6-cyl-5v-engine-controls-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-avk-bgn__exhaust-malfunction-indicator-lamp-mil-in) .
  3. EPC relevant malfunctions are also indicated by the Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning lamp in the instrument cluster.

Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in instrument cluster

If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a worsening of emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

The Engine Control Module (ECM) switches on the exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after ignition is switched on. Shortly after engine is started, the exhaust MIL will go out. This requires, first of all, that the Engine Control Module (ECM) does not detect a malfunction that worsens the emissions values and, secondly, that activation of the lamp by the Engine Control Module (ECM) is OK.

If malfunctions that worsen emissions are recognized during operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the exhaust MIL in instrument cluster. An entry is made in DTC memory at the same time.

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) can blink or remain lit continuously. DTC memory should be checked in either case. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking .

Continuously lit

There is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Motronic ECM and automatic transmission (if installed).

Check DTC memory if there is a drivability problem or a customer complaint, but the exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is not lit. There may be DTCs stored that do not cause the exhaust MIL to light up immediately, but only after engine is started again and malfunction is recognized again.

Blinking

There is a malfunction that causes damage to the catalytic converter in this driving condition (e.g. combustion misfire). In this case, vehicle must only be driven at reduced power!

Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), checking

Function test of warning lamp

  1. Switch ignition on.
  1. Warning lamp for On Board Diagnostic (Malfunction Indicator Lamp -MIL-) must light up
  1. Start engine.
  1. Shortly after engine is started, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will go out if there are no malfunctions stored in the DTC memory that relate to the emissions system

Note. The switch-on signal for the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is transferred from the Engine Control Module (ECM) to the instrument cluster via CAN-bus. Check data exchange between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other CAN capable control modules. Refer to Data exchange between engine control module and other CAN-control modules, checking

Safety precautions

Note. The following points if testers and measuring instruments have to be used during a road test

WARNINGAlways install testers and measuring instruments on the back seat and have a second person operate them from there. If test equipment were operated from the front passenger seat, the person sitting there could be injured if the front passenger airbag were triggered in the event of an accident.

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)

Note. The Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (shown as Final Control Diagnosis on scan tool) can only be performed with the engine stopped and the ignition switched on. During actuator diagnosis, the individual actuators (with the exception of the injectors) are operated in turn for about one minute unless the next actuator is selected by pressing the delta button. The control elements can be checked acoustically or by way of touch. Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) is aborted if it is not switched further after one minute of activation time, the engine is started or an RPM signal is recognized. Before restarting the Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) the engine must be started and the ignition switched off and on again.

Readiness code

The readiness code appears as an 8-digit display on measured value block 086, display zone 1. Each of the 8 digits is allocated to a particular emission-related system.

The function of each of these systems is checked by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) and the relevant position for the system in the 8-digit display is changed from "1" to "0" in a test sequence which must be fully completed.

The readiness code produced after successful completion of the test sequence is then "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" (measured value block 086, display zone 1).

If an individual test has been completed, but is "not OK", a DTC is entered in the DTC memory. Checking Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking .

The readiness code is set to "1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1" if

  1. The DTC memory has been erased.
  2. The voltage supply to the engine control module has been interrupted (e.g. the connector detached, battery disconnected).
  3. A new engine control module has been installed.

In this case the readiness code must be reproduced. Refer to Readiness code, generating .

Note. When driving with varying loads the exhaust tests are initiated by the control module and the readiness code generates itself. In this case the concluding control is possibly omitted, i.e. it is not obvious whether the vehicle was handed over to the customer without any malfunctions.

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following

WARNINGThe fuel system is under pressure. Place a cloth around the connection point before opening the system. Then relieve pressure carefully loosening the connection.
  1. Always switch off ignition before disconnecting or connecting lines of the fuel injection and ignition system, including test leads.
  2. If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (e.g. for compression testing), disconnect connector from ignition coils and from fuel injectors.
  3. During some of the tests, a malfunction may be recognized and stored by the control module. At the end of all tests and repairs, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory should be checked and, if necessary, erased. After erasing the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory the readiness code must be produced. Refer to «Basic setting»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/cooling-fan/#30l-6-cyl-5v-engine-controls-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-avk-bgn) .
  4. Always switch ignition off before cleaning engine.
WARNINGSafety precautions before disconnecting battery: Refer to 27 BATTERY, STARTER, GENERATOR, CRUISE CONTROL 27 BATTERY, STARTER, GENERATOR, CRUISE CONTROL for ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, CABRIOLET Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or connecting battery. Failure to do so may damage a control module.

If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following

WARNINGTest equipment must always be secured to the rear seat and operated from there by a second person. If test and measuring equipment is operated from the passenger seat, the person seated there could be injured in the event of an accident involving deployment of the passenger-side airbag.

Rules for cleanliness

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following 6 cleanliness rules

  1. Thoroughly clean all unions and adjacent areas before disconnecting.
  2. Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use lint-free cloths.
  3. Carefully cover or seal open components if repairs cannot be carried out immediately.
  4. Install clean components: Remove replacement parts from packaging immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (e.g. in tool boxes etc..).
  1. When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air if this can be avoided. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
  2. Separated electrical connectors: Protect from dirt and moisture. Make sure connections are dry when re-connecting.

  2. Disconnect vacuum hose from pressure regulator to intake manifold at pressure regulator and close off hose.

Note. If fuel flows at the vacuum connection on the pressure regulator during the following pressure test, replace pressure regulator.

  1. Start engine and run at idling speed.
  2. Measure fuel pressure.
  1. Specified value: 3.8 to 4.2 bar
  1. If fuel pressure does not match specification, install a new fuel pressure regulator and repeat pressure test.
  2. If fuel pressure still does not match specification, check fuel pump and supply line for damage (e.g. crushing) and replace if necessary.
  3. If pressure is higher than specification, check return line for damage (e.g. crushing) and replace, if necessary.

Note. During the following test, do not leave the engine running too long with the vacuum hose disconnected, because the higher fuel pressure causes the fuel and air mixture to be rich. This could lead to the Oxygen sensor control limits to be exceeded. This would result in a DTC being recorded.

  1. Start engine and run at idling speed.
  2. Switch off electrical accessories (air conditioner, etc.).
  3. Re-connect vacuum hose to pressure regulator and observe drop in pressure on pressure gauge.
  4. Fuel pressure must be lowered by approx. 0.5 bar when vacuum hose is attached.

Perform the following checks if there is no change in pressure as described above

  1. Check vacuum hose for cracks and damage.
  2. Test vacuum hose for blockage at intake manifold. To do this, disconnect hose at fuel pressure regulator and blow into it.
  1. If there is no leak and no blockage in vacuum hose, install a new fuel pressure regulator.

Testing holding pressure

  1. Holding pressure 10 minutes after switching off engine (minimum pressure).
  1. Specified value for cold engine: approx. 2.2 bar
  2. Specified value with engine at operating temperature: approx. 3.0 bar

If the pressure does not drop, the following DTCs are possible

  1. Union between pressure gauge and fuel supply line leaking
  2. Supply line leaking at fuel tank
  3. Non-return valve in fuel pump leaking

Note. When the shut off valve is closed the pressure gauge shows the pressure after the isolating valve "intake manifold end" (direction of injectors, fuel pressure regulator). If the pressure before the isolating valve (tank direction) should now fall, the equipment cannot recognize this.

If the pressure drops again, the following DTCs are possible

  1. Fuel pressure regulator malfunction
  2. Injectors leaking
  3. Unions on pressure gauge after cut-off valve leaking

Note. When disconnecting the pressure gauge, close the shut-off valve, unscrew the union on adapter VAG1318/15, then open the shut-off valve to drain off excess fuel into a suitable container.

Note. The oxygen sensor before catalytic converter (bank 1, sensor 1 and bank 2, sensor 1) regulates to oxygen sensor 1. If this oxygen sensor is damaged, e.g. due to dirt or overheating, the regulation value may have shifted. Deviations from oxygen sensor 1 are detected by the oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter (bank 1, sensor 2 and bank 2, sensor 2). If it recognizes the deviations downward or upward, it influences the regulation before catalytic converter, generally increasing or decreasing it respectively.

Function of the electronic throttle system

In the electronic throttle system, the throttle valve is not operated by a cable connected to the accelerator pedal. There is no mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve.

The position of the accelerator pedal is communicated to the engine control module by two accelerator position sensors (variable resistances located in a single housing) connected to the accelerator pedal.

The position of the accelerator pedal (decided by the driver) is one of the main input parameters to the engine control module.

The throttle valve is activated, over the full range of engine speed and power, by an electric motor (throttle valve actuator) in the throttle valve control module.

The throttle valve actuator moves the throttle valve as instructed by the engine control module.

With the ignition switched on and the engine not running, the engine control module controls the throttle valve precisely in accordance with the signals from the accelerator position sensors. This means that when the accelerator is pressed half way down, the throttle valve actuator opens the throttle valve to an equivalent extent; the throttle valve is then about half open.

When the engine is running (and under load), the engine control module can open and close the throttle valve independently of the accelerator position sensors.

As an example, the throttle valve can be fully open even though the accelerator pedal is only pressed half way down. This has the advantage of preventing throttle losses at the throttle valve.

Under certain engine load conditions, markedly improved emission and consumption figures are also obtained.

The engine torque necessary can be provided by the engine control module by an optimum combination of throttle opening and boost pressure.

The electronic throttle system does not simply consist of one or two components, rather a system which includes all the components which contribute to determining the position of the throttle valve and to controlling and monitoring this position. These components include, for example, the throttle valve control module, the EPC warning lamp, the engine control module.

Malfunction lamp for electronic throttle in instrument cluster

Note. The Electronic Power Control (EPC) Warning Lamp -K132- is also known as the EPC warning lamp.

"EPC" is an abbreviation for Electronic Power Control and refers to the electronic throttle control system.

When the ignition is switched on, the engine control module checks all the components of importance to the electronic throttle system.

After switching on the ignition the engine control module switches on the EPC warning lamp. The EPC warning lamp goes out shortly after starting the engine, if on the one hand, the engine control module does not detect any malfunctions in the EPC system, and, if actuation of the lamp by the engine control module is OK.

If a malfunction is detected in the electronic throttle system while the engine is running, the engine control module switches on the EPC warning lamp. (These DTCs are listed in the DTC table). At the same time, an entry is made in the engine control module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory.

Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning lamp -K132-, checking

Functional check on EPC warning lamp

  1. Switch ignition on.
  1. The engine control module switches on the EPC warning lamp.
  1. Start engine.
  1. Shortly after starting the engine the EPC warning lamp goes out if no DTC in relation to the electronic throttle is stored in the DTC memory.

Note. The switch-on signal for the malfunction lamp is transferred via CAN bus to the instrument cluster by the engine control module. Check the data exchange between engine control module and other CAN-control modules. Refer to Data exchange between engine control module and other CAN-control modules, checking

Throttle valve control module -J338-, checking

The following components are located in the housing of the throttle valve control module.

  1. Throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G186- (This is an electric motor which is activated by the engine control module. This electric motor opens the throttle valve against the force of a spring).
  2. Angle sensor -1- for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G187
  3. Angle sensor -2- for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G188

Note. Housing for throttle valve control module must not be opened. The angle sensors are in the form of potentiometers (variable resistances). They provide the position of the throttle valve to the engine control module completely independently of one another. The potentiometers cannot be adjusted mechanically. The settings are made as part of basic setting (function 04) using the vehicle diagnosis, measurement and information system VAS5051.

Throttle valve control module -J338-, adaptation

The adaptation process enables the engine control module to learn the various positions of the throttle valve with the ignition switched on and the engine not running. These positions are stored in the control module. The feedback signal indicating the position of the throttle valve comes from the two throttle valve actuator angle sensors.

If the Throttle valve control module -J338- or the engine control module are removed, installed or replaced or if the voltage supply from the engine control module is interrupted, adaptation must always be performed.

The learning process (adaptation process) is performed

  1. Automatically if the ignition is switched on once for at least 10 seconds without activating the starter or the accelerator pedal and the engine control module recognizes "adaptation requirement". In this case, it is not obvious whether the adaptation process was successful or not. Adaptation requirement is recognized if stored voltage values from the angle sensors do not coincide with current measured voltage values in a certain tolerance band.
  2. By initiating the basic setting (Function 04) of display group 060 with ignition switched on.

Note. Engine will not start during automatic adaptation.

In this condition, the throttle valve is pulled into an emergency running position by a mechanical spring which is located in the throttle valve control module. The values supplied by the two angle sensors in this emergency running position are stored in the engine control module.

The throttle valve is then opened by a predetermined amount. When this value is reached, the throttle valve actuator is again disconnected from the electricity supply. The mechanical spring should then close the throttle valve to the previously learned emergency running position within a specified period of time (spring test).

The throttle valve actuator then closes the throttle valve; the values supplied by the angle sensors in the throttle valve control module are stored in the engine control module.

If the engine control module disconnects the throttle valve actuator from the electricity supply while the vehicle is being driven, the result will be an increased and fluctuating idling speed and a very poor throttle response.

Note. "ADP" in display zone 4 stands for "Adaptation".

Note. If the adaptation is interrupted by the control module, the reason could be one of the following: The throttle valve cannot close completely (e.g. dirt). The battery voltage is too low. Throttle valve control module or wiring is faulty. Engine was started or accelerator was activated during the adaptation process. Distortion of throttle valve housing (check screw connection). When adaptation process is interrupted, message "Function is unknown or cannot be carried out at the moment" is displayed on tester. The next time the ignition is switched on (for several seconds), the adaptation process is automatically performed again. Exit function "04 - Basic setting" by pressing <-- button.

Note. The engine control module converts and displays the voltage readings from the angle sensors as percentages of 5 V. (A 5 Volt supply corresponds to 100%).

  1. Observe readouts in display zones 1 and 2.
  2. Slowly depress accelerator pedal.

Percentage displayed in zone 1 should rise evenly. Tolerance range from 3 to 93% is not fully utilized.

Percentage displayed in zone 2 should fall evenly. Tolerance range from 97 to 3% is not fully utilized.

Note. The reason why the value in display zone 1 rises and that in zone 2 falls is that the potentiometers (angle sensors) in the throttle valve control module operate in opposite directions. This means that the voltage picked off by one of the angle sensors runs in the direction of 5 V. (As the throttle is opened, the voltage becomes greater and the percentage increases). The voltage picked off by the angle sensor 2 runs from 5 V in the direction of 0 V. (As the throttle is opened, the voltage becomes smaller and the percentage decreases).

General notes on ignition system

  1. Switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting the battery, otherwise the engine control module may be damaged.
  2. A voltage of at least 12.7 V is necessary for satisfactory functioning of the electrical components.
  3. During some of the tests, a malfunction may be recognized and stored by the control module. At the end of all tests and repairs, the DTC memory should be checked and, erased.
  4. If the engine starts and then stops after malfunction search, repair or tests on components, because the immobilizer is blocking the engine control module. The DTC memory must then be checked and, if necessary, the control module adapted.
WARNINGSafety precautions before disconnecting battery: Refer to 27 BATTERY, STARTER, GENERATOR, CRUISE CONTROL 27 BATTERY, STARTER, GENERATOR, CRUISE CONTROL for ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, CABRIOLET Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or connecting battery. Failure to do so may damage a control module.

To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, observe the following

  1. Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is running or at starting speed.
  2. The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting ignition system wiring. This also applies to high-voltage cables and measuring instrument leads.
  3. In order to run engine at starting speed without actually starting it (for example, in order to test compression), unplug connector from the output stage of the ignition coils and also the connectors on the injectors.
  4. In the case of some tests, a DTC may be recognized and stored by the control module. At the end of all tests and repairs, the DTC memory should be checked and, if necessary, erased. After erasing the DTC memory the readiness code must be produced. Refer to «Readiness code, generating»(/audi/a4/b7-2004-2009/remont/cooling-fan/#30l-6-cyl-5v-engine-controls-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-avk-bgn__readiness-code-generating) .
