Engine Controls - Tests W/codes Audi A6 C4

INTRODUCTION

If no faults were found during preliminary inspection, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no trouble codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics, proceed to the TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).

STORED CODES

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), also known as the Engine Control Module (ECM), can identify malfunctions and store them in memory in the form of a code. Codes are stored until memory is erased. If battery cable or PCM connector is disconnected, codes are erased.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)

When ignition is turned on, MIL should come on. When engine is started, MIL should turn off. If MIL does not turn off after engine is started, or if MIL comes on while driving, retrieve codes. See RETRIEVING CODES .

HARD FAILURES

Hard failures (also called static malfunctions) cause MIL to come on and a code to set in PCM memory. A code that sets as a result of a hard failure will not be erased automatically when the problem is eliminated. These codes must be erased manually.

INTERMITTENT FAILURES

When an intermittent failure occurs, MIL comes on and code sets. Scan tool displays "SP" to identify code as sporadic (intermittent). If fault does not recur within 50 engine starts, code will automatically be erased. Intermittent failures may be caused by problems with a sensor, connector or wiring. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article.

CHECKING DLC WIRING

Black DLC is for scan tool power and ground circuits. White DLC is for scan tool rapid data transfer circuits. All systems that can be monitored with a scan tool (PCM, automatic transmission, ABS, etc.) are monitored through the same White DLC. Rapid data transfer circuits for all systems are connected in parallel to terminals "K" and "L", which serve as common junction blocks. Ground terminal of White DLC is connected to terminal "L". Power terminal of White DLC is connected to terminal "K".

Black DLC

Ensure DLC ground terminal is grounded. Battery voltage should be present at DLC power terminal. If conditions are not as specified, repair wiring or replace fuse as necessary.

White DLC

1. Disconnect all wires from terminals "K" and "L", noting from which terminals wires are disconnected. Check continuity between power terminal of White DLC connector and terminal "L", and between ground terminal of White DLC connector and terminal "K". If there is no continuity, repair wiring.
2. If there is continuity, check continuity between: PCM terminal C13 and appropriate wire at terminal "L". PCM terminal C12 and appropriate wire at terminal "K".
3. If there is no continuity, repair wiring. If there is continuity, connect wires for PCM rapid data transfer to terminals "K" and "L". Attempt to enter ENGINE ELECTRONICS (address word "01"). If ENGINE ELECTRONICS cannot be entered, replace PCM.
4. If ENGINE ELECTRONICS can be entered, check wiring between terminals "K" and "L" and control units for all other systems. If wiring is okay, replace appropriate control unit.

1st ignition map (basic map) or 2nd ignition map (map with reduced angles) should be displayed. Ignition timing point map is selected by knock regulation. PCM selects 2nd map if quality of fuel is poor, abnormal engine noise occurs (loose components, etc.) or oil combustion is occurring due to piston damage. If PCM recognizes a knock sensor fault, ignition map switching is blocked. If PCM selects 2nd map, see DISPLAY GROUPS 13 and/or 14 for more exact evaluation.

Display Group 12, Field 4, Ignition Timing Point Retard By Knock Regulation

Knock control begins when engine load is greater than 40 percent. See DISPLAY GROUPS 13 and/or 14. Ignition timing point retarding values are used only when knock regulation is active.

Preliminary Information For Display Groups 13 & 14

1. Knock regulation is active at engine loads of 40 percent or greater. At lesser engine loads, current or last ignition timing point retarding values are displayed. If knocking can be heard but ignition timing does not retard, increase engine speed to 3500 RPM for 5 seconds to initiate Knock Sensor (KS) fault recognition (diagnosis).
2. If ignition timing point retard value of one cylinder clearly deviates from the other cylinders, check for loose components, corroded knock sensor connector or oil combustion due to piston damage. If ignition timing point retard values for one bank of cylinders is greater than values for other bank, check for corroded KS connector. See DISPLAY GROUPS 15 and/or 16.
3. Ensure KS is tightened to 15 ft. lbs. (20 N.m). Check for faulty wiring, faulty KS or loose components. If ignition timing point retard value is high for all cylinders (both banks), fuel octane is too low.

Display Groups 13 & 14, Field 1, Ignition Timing Point Map Switching

1st ignition map or 2nd ignition map should be displayed. See DISPLAY GROUP 12, FIELD 3.

READING MEASURING BLOCK

Note. Display groups 00-19 in READING MEASURING BLOCK mode are identical to display groups 00-19 as described in ENGINE BASIC SETTING. Command for relearning given in ENGINE BASIC SETTING, display groups 07 and/or 08, is not accessible in READING MEASURING BLOCK mode.

Enter self-diagnostics. See ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS . Select function 08. Select appropriate display group number. Test value blocks 1-4 will now be displayed. Display group numbers 01-09 are displayed without a "0". To select display group numbers 10-17, press "C".

READING INDIVIDUAL MEASURING VALUES

Note. No useful information can be read for trouble shooting and repair.

ADAPTIVE LEARNING

Note. When selecting ADAPTIVE LEARNING, channel 01, the PCM executes the same operations as in ENGINE BASIC SETTING. Channel 01 is for CO level adjusting. Channel 02 has no function. On vehicles with PCM coding 000 and 008, if stored adaptation values are changed by inputting other values, engine management system will not be affected. See PCM ENCODING.

1. Select function 10, channel 01. Stored adaptation value of 128 will be displayed. Press right arrow button to advance sequence and allow adaptation values to be inserted. Press "1" button to decrease adaptation value, leaning the CO content. Press "3" button to increase adaptation value, richening the CO content. Value should be 110-150.
2. Appropriate adaptation value and 10 measurements are displayed in display group 00. If modified adaptation value will not be stored, return to previous display by pressing "C" button. If storing adaptation value, input adaptation value as 00XXX (last 3 digits represent value).

PCM ENCODING

Note. If PCM does not match vehicle application, the following conditions may exist: poor driveability, increased fuel consumption, excessive exhaust emissions, premature transmission wear, storage of non-existent codes in PCM memory and reduced maximum road speed. Heated oxygen sensor control, EVAP control and other functions may also be inoperative.

Enter self-diagnostics. See ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS . Select function 07, ENCODE CONTROL MODULE. Press appropriate buttons to input appropriate 3-digit code based on vehicle application. See PCM ENCODING APPLICATIONS table. Press "Q" button to enter input.
