OBD, General Information

OBD Characteristics

The ECM (Engine Control Module) J623 and Transmission Control Module (on vehicles with automatic transmission) are equipped with a DTC memory.

Malfunction Recognition

If malfunctions occur at the emission relevant systems or components, they are stored in DTC memory with a description of the malfunction type.

Engine control module and transmission control module differentiate between DTCs after analyzing information retrieved DTC tables on --> SAE P0xxx Diagnostic Trouble Codes .

The stored malfunctions can be checked with a standard diagnostic tester --> Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory .

When disconnecting harness connectors from Engine Control Module (ECM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM), or when disconnecting battery, all adaptation values in the control modules are erased. DTC memory content will remain intact however. After re-connecting harness connectors or battery, or after performing corrective actions.

The following work steps must be performed in the described sequence after the malfunction(s) have been repaired

  1. Check DTC memory , Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.
  2. Erase DTC memory , Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data.
  3. Then generate readiness code.
  1. End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

Scheme 698

Scheme 698: Wire and Component Test at Engine Control Module using VAG 1598/31

Note. Test box VAG1598/31 is designed so that it can be simultaneously connected to the wiring harness at the Engine Control Module (ECM) and also to the ECM itself. This is advantageous because electronic engine control remains fully functional (e.g. measurement of signals with engine running) when the test box is attached. Relevant test procedures note whether Engine Control Module (ECM) should also be connected to the test box or not. Use the following for the test: portable multimeter VAG1526 or the multimeter VAG1715 and the voltage test lamp VAG1527. Always use adapter cables from connector test kit VAG1594 for connecting special tools to the test box VAG1598/31.

CAUTIONTo avoid damaging electronic components, set measuring range before connecting test leads and observe all test requirements.

VAG1598/31, Connecting

  1. Switch ignition off.
  2. Remove right cover from plenum chamber.

  1. Open both bolts (- arrows -) and remove Engine Control Module (ECM) toward front.

Scheme 700

Scheme 700

To complicate accessibility to the harness connectors at Engine Control Module (ECM), Engine Control Module (ECM) - 1 - is screwed to a protective housing - 4 - via a locking mechanism - 2 - and snap-off screws - 3 -.

The thread of the snap-off screws is coated with locking compound to additionally complicate removal of the snap-off screws.

To be able to disconnect harness connectors from Engine Control Module (ECM) (e.g. when connecting test box or when replacing Engine Control Module), Engine Control Module (ECM) must be removed from protective housing. This procedure is described in the following.

Required Equipment

Scheme 701

Scheme 701
  1. Heat gun - 1 - (from Wiring Harness Repair Kit VAS1978)
  2. Attachment nozzle - 2 - (also from Wiring Harness Repair Kit VAS1978)
  3. Standard locking pliers

Procedure

CAUTIONTo avoid damage (burning) of wire connections and harness connectors, insulation and control modules, the following work steps must be adhered to exactly! Observe operating instructions of heat gun.
  1. "Flip" Engine Control Module (ECM) with protective housing in direction of engine compartment so that the locking mechanism (- 2 - in illustration) becomes visible, place a clean rag below the Engine Control Module (ECM) with protective housing.

Scheme 702

Scheme 702
  1. Perform adjustments on heat gun as shown in illustration, i.e., potentiometer for temperature selection - 2 - to maximum heat output and the two-stage switch for air flow - 3 - to position 3.

Note. Next, the thread of locking mechanism in which the snap-off screws are threaded in are heated using the heat gun. This step lowers the inhibition effect of the locking compound on the thread of the snap-off screws, to ease the removal of the snap-off screws.

CAUTIONWhen heating threads of locking mechanism, snap-off screws and components of protective housing are also heated intensely. Do not burn yourself on them! Also make sure that only the thread is heated if possible and no other components in the vicinity are heated. Cover these as necessary.

Scheme 703

Scheme 703
  1. Guide nozzle - 1 - of heat gun onto locking mechanism thread so that the nozzle "encloses" the thread. Let nozzle make contact steadily on upper end of protective housing.
  2. Switch on heat gun and heat thread for approx. 20 to 25 seconds.

Scheme 704

Scheme 704
  1. Then clamp bolt head - 2 - using locking pliers - 1 - and remove snap-off screw in direction of (- arrow -).

Procedure for the second snap-off screw is exactly the same. Be especially careful, because the control module connectors are located in the immediate vicinity.

Scheme 705

Scheme 705
  1. Guide nozzle - 1 - of heat gun onto locking mechanism thread again so that the nozzle "encloses" the thread. Let nozzle make contact steadily on upper end of protective housing.
  2. Switch on heat gun and heat thread for approx. 20 to 25 seconds.

Scheme 707

Scheme 707
  1. Connect test box VAG1598/31 to connector of wiring harness. Ground (GND) clip must be connected to Ground (GND). Relevant test procedures note whether Engine Control Module (ECM) should also be connected to the test box.
  2. Perform test as described in relevant repair sequence.

Engine Control Module, Installing

Installation is performed in reverse order, ECM must always be installed with the protective housing. New snap-off screws must be used.

Perform the following work after re-connecting Engine Control Module (ECM)

  1. Generate readiness code --> «Readiness Code, Generating»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__readiness-code-generating) .

Note. In the first adaptation phase during engine basic setting, it is possible that idle will be rough and vehicle may shake lightly in drive mode.

Catalyst Monitoring K72 Warning Light, Meaning

The warning light for catalytic converter monitoring lights up when exhaust relevant malfunctions are recognized by the ECM or TCM. Signal is transferred via CAN-Bus.

Scheme 708

Scheme 708: Catalyst Monitoring K72 Warning Light, Meaning

Component location of warning light for catalytic converter monitoring

Note. The warning light for catalytic converter monitoring can blink or remain lit continuously. DTC memory must be checked in each case --> Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory . Blinking: There is a malfunction that causes damage to the catalytic converter in this driving condition. In this case, vehicle must only be driven at reduced power! Continuously lit: There is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Engine Control Module (ECM) and automatic transmission. DTC memory must still be checked if there are driveability problems or the customer has complained but the warning light for catalytic converter monitoring is not lit, because malfunctions can be stored without causing the warning light for catalytic converter monitoring to light immediately.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Function Test

  1. Switch ignition on.
  1. Catalytic converter monitoring warning lamp must go on
  1. Start engine.
  1. Shortly after starting engine, catalytic converter monitoring lamp goes out if there are no emissions-related malfunctions stored in the DTC memory.

Note. The switch-on signal for Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is transferred from Engine Control Module (ECM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) to the instrument cluster via CAN-Bus. Check CAN bus terminal resistance --> Data Bus Terminal Resistance, Checking .

Readiness Code

Readiness Code, Reading

Function

The readiness code is an 8 digit number block that indicates the results of an exhaust related On Board Diagnostic (OBD).

If a diagnostic for a system has run through successfully, the respective digit of the number block is set from 1 to 0.

On Board Diagnostics are performed at regular intervals during normal vehicle operation. After repairing an exhaust relevant system, the readiness code should be generated via a road test to ensure that these systems are working according to specifications. If a malfunction is recognized during diagnostic, it is stored in DTC memory.

The readiness code is erased every time DTC memory is erased or when voltage supply is interrupted. DTC memory should therefore only be erased when there are DTCs stored.

Procedure

  1. Connect diagnostic tester --> «Diagnostic Tester, Connecting»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__diagnostic-tester-connecting) .
  2. Start engine and let run at idle for at least 15 minutes.

Observe safety precautions that apply to road tests --> Safety Precautions .

  1. Perform a 15 minute road test in the highest gear or in the highest driving mode on a level driving surface.
  1. Engine speed approx. 1800 to 2200 RPM --> «Diagnostic Mode 01 - Read Current System Data»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__diagnostic-mode-01-read-current) ; PID 12, engine rotations per minute (RPM)
  2. Vehicle speed constant 90 km/h --> «Diagnostic Mode 01 - Read Current System Data»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__diagnostic-mode-01-read-current) ; PID 13, Vehicle speed
  1. Do not switch off engine and let run at idle for at least 3 minutes.

Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system will be checked during this idle phase.

  1. Switch off engine for at least 30 minutes so that coolant temperature can drop to about a minimum of 10 C.
  2. Start engine and let run at least 2 minutes at idle.

Engine coolant temperature sensor will be checked during this idle phase.

Observe the safety precautions that apply to road tests --> Safety Precautions .

  1. Read readiness code --> «Readiness Code, Reading»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__readiness-code-reading) .

DTC Table

Note. The column "Cat" in the DTC overview indicates the switch-on condition for the warning light.

  1. Dcy = Driving cycle
  1. Erase DTC memory after repairing malfunction --> «Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__diagnostic-mode-04-erase-dtc) and generate the readiness code again --> «Readiness Code, Generating»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__readiness-code-generating)
  2. If a malfunction only occurs occasionally, or if DTC memory is not erased after a malfunction has been repaired, the malfunction will be shown as "sporadic malfunction" with "SP" on the display.
  3. If the malfunction no longer appears within the next 40 warm-up cycles, this sporadic malfunction will be erased automatically.
  4. Warning light for catalytic converter monitoring does not switch on immediately for some malfunction types, but rather only after two consecutive Driving cycles (Dcy).
  1. If the warning light lights up with engine running, there is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. If warning light is lit and engine is running, a DTC must definitely be stored in DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) or of Transmission Control Module (TCM). In this case, DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) or of Transmission Control Module (TCM) must be checked.
  2. If warning light begins to blink, there is a malfunction (e.g. combustion misfires with a high rate of misfire) that can lead to damage to the catalytic converter. In this case, drive must be continued at reduced load performance (until the warning light goes out or remains constantly lit) and malfunction must be eliminated as quickly as possible.
  3. If malfunctioning components are detected, check also wires to the component for short circuit and open circuit according to wiring diagram.
  4. Before repairing malfunctions or replacing components, check wires and harness connectors to these components as well as Ground (GND) connections according to wiring diagram. This is particularly valid when malfunctions are displayed as "sporadically occurring (SP)".

Fuel Supply System, Repair Information

Fuel Supply System, Safety Precautions

CAUTIONFuel system is under pressure! Before opening system, place rags around the connection. Then release pressure by carefully loosening connection.

The following steps should be taken before beginning work on the fuel supply

CAUTIONObserve measures when connecting battery: --> 27 - BATTERY, STARTER, GENERATOR, CRUISE CONTROL
  1. Disconnect battery Ground (GND) strap with the ignition switched off.
  2. Open fuel filler cap briefly and then close again.

When removing and installing components from full or partially full fuel tanks, the following must be observed

  1. The fuel tank may only be partially full. How much fuel can remain in the fuel tank may be read in the respective work description. Empty fuel tank if necessary --> «Fuel Tank, Emptying»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__fuel-tank-emptying) .
  2. Before starting work, switch on exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the installation opening of fuel tank to extract escaping fuel fumes. If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m 3 /h can be used.
  3. Prevent fuel from contacting skin! Wear fuel-resistant gloves!

Note the following when removing and installing fuel tank

  1. Fuel tank must be empty for weight reasons. Empty fuel tank if necessary --> «Fuel Tank, Emptying»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__fuel-tank-emptying) .

Clean Working Conditions

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following points

  1. Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.
  2. Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths only!
  3. Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.
  4. Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (in tool boxes etc.)
  1. When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Contact Corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if inappropriate connecting elements (bolts, nuts, washers...) are used.

For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface coating are installed. These elements are distinguished by their greenish hue.

Furthermore, all rubber, plastic and adhesive materials used are non-conductive.

If you have doubts about the reusability of parts, it is generally better to install new parts.

CAUTIONOnly use original Audi parts! Damage via contact corrosion is not covered by warranty!

Fuel System, Checking for Leaks

CAUTIONObserve all safety measures applicable to a road test --> Safety Precautions .
  1. Start engine and let it run a few minutes at average RPM.

Note. At the beginning, engine may run roughly due to air in fuel supply system.

  1. Turn engine off and check fuel system for leaks.
  2. Check DTC memory and, if necessary, erase.
  3. Perform a road test with at least one acceleration at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
  4. After road test, check fuel system again for leaks.
  1. Check DTC memory again and, if necessary, erase.

Fuel Supply

Note. Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type Always replace seals and gaskets.

Suction Jet Pumps, Function

In order to ensure proper fuel supply in all driving conditions, especially under heavy turning or breaking, it is important that the fuel pumps do not intake any air. This is especially the case when the fuel tank is only partially filled and the fuel swashes into one corner of the fuel tank.

Therefore, the fuel delivery units - 2 - and - 5 - have, in addition to the fuel pumps, a so-called baffle housing, into which the fuel pumps are inserted. The baffle housing is a reservoir that is continuously filled with fuel so that the fuel pumps are always surrounded by fuel regardless of the fuel level in the fuel tank.

The proper filling of the baffle housing is essential to the correct function of the fuel pumps. The so-called suction jet pumps are responsible for this.

The suction jet pumps operate according to the principle of fluid entrainment: a stream of fuel from the supply pipe for fuel pump - 4 - (right side) is passed through a nozzle into the suction jet pumps - 1 - and - 6 - , and is thus accelerated. The accelerated stream of fuel draws off the surrounding fuel and delivers it to the baffle housings of the fuel delivery units. The suction jet pump (right side) - 6 - delivers the fuel directly into the baffle housing (left side), and the suction jet pump (left side) - 1 - delivers the fuel directly into the baffle housing (right side).

The fuel is distributed from the supply pipe for fuel pump (right side) to the two suction jet pumps via the two Y-connectors - 7 - and - 8 -.

Another smaller suction jet pump is located in the expansion tank - 3 - and pumps excess fuel back into the fuel tank.

EVAP System Diagnostic Leak Test, Performing

Observe safety precautions --> Fuel Supply System, Safety Precautions .

Observe rules for cleanliness --> Clean Working Conditions .

Function

The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system, diagnostic leak test recognizes leaks in the entire fuel system including the fuel tank, Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80.

On the mechanical side, the leak detection system consists primarily of a vacuum activated diaphragm pump with a reed contact on an activating rod at the pump diaphragm. The pump is supplied its vacuum via the engine intake.

  1. When diagnostic leak test is activated, the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) increases pressure in the fuel system to 20 to 30 mbar. The pump membrane is then expanded so that the reed contact at the operating rod remains in the "open" position.
  2. The diagnostic will test whether the reed contact remains open within 10 seconds. Then the fuel system is leak-free.
  3. If pressure falls (indicating a leak), the diaphragm moves and the reed contact closes.
  4. If reed contact closes within 10 seconds of leak detection time, perform a further test: If this is the case, the membrane pump will pump 4 additional strokes. The Engine Control Module (ECM) measures the time between these 4 strokes and closure of the reed contact. From that, the control module recognizes a "small leak" (greater than 1 mm in diameter) or a "large leak".

Leak diagnostic is activated automatically shortly following every engine start. If a malfunction is recognized, a DTC entry follows. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster will light up if the malfunction is recognized for two subsequent starts.

With engine running, Engine Control Module (ECM) performs a diagnostic leak test automatically in certain intervals.

Note. Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type Always replace seals and gaskets.

Function Test

  1. Start engine and let it run 15 minutes at idle.
  2. Select measuring value "Test-ID 01: Tank leak test" and check whether specified value is being reached --> «Diagnostic Mode 08 - Request Control of On-Board System, Test or Component»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bfm__diagnostic-mode-08-request-control) .
  3. Check specified value of tank leak test at idle.

Specified value: Test OK

Note. The function test can take a few minutes. If the accelerator pedal is depressed during the test, the test will be aborted. To repeat the tank leak test, switch ignition off and start engine again and let run at idle.

  1. End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

If specified value is not reached, check tank system for proper seal.

Fuel Supply and Ventilation Systems, Checking for Leaks

Note. The following describes areas in the fuel supply and ventilation systems that should be checked for possible leaks. After making necessary repairs, perform leak test again to ensure that all leaks were successfully repaired.

  1. Switch ignition off.
  2. Check whether fuel filler cap was completely closed for test.
  3. Check whether seal of fuel filler cap is damaged or pinched and must be replaced.
  4. Remove luggage compartment floor lining.
  1. Remove covers for connector flange on left and right sides.
  1. Check whether seals under connector flanges are OK and locking rings are properly tightened on fuel tank. Also check fuel line connections.
  2. Visually check all lines and hose connections of fuel supply system and replace leaking lines, e.g.

Line from EVAP canister to Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 (in engine compartment)

Lines from EVAP canister to Leak detection pump (LDP) V144.

Line from fuel tank to Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister (under cover for EVAP canister)

Fuel lines to engine

Note. Leaks at lines and components of fuel supply system can sometimes be located using a non-flammable, environmentally sound leak detection spray. For this, initiate leak diagnostic several times in sequence to build pressure in the system. Leaks can be detected via bubbles.

  1. Visually check components of fuel supply system and EVAP system.

Fuel tank

EVAP canister

Leak detection pump (LDP) V144

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80

Note. Because of shape or function of these components it is not always possible to find leaks by applying spray. It may be necessary to clamp off the relevant component using hose clamps 3094 and initiate leak detection diagnostic. If leak is no longer detected, the component that was clamped off is faulty. If clamp is placed directly on the diagnostic pump and a leak is still detected, then the diagnostic pump itself is leaking.

Safety Precautions

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

CAUTIONTest and measuring 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.

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

  1. Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, when ignition is turned off.
  2. If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (e.g. for compression pressure testing), disconnect connector from power output stages for ignition coils and from fuel injectors.
  3. It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, DTC memory should therefore be checked and erased if necessary.
  4. Always switch ignition off before cleaning engine.
  1. The battery must only be disconnected and connected with the ignition switched off, since the Engine Control Module (ECM) can otherwise be damaged.
CAUTIONFuel system is under pressure! Before loosening hose connections or opening the test connection (for fuel pressure measurement), place rags around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully loosening connection.

Note. When working on the fuel supply or fuel injection systems, the following "6 rules of cleanliness" should be carefully observed: Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting. Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths only! Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately. Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (in tool boxes etc.) When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary. Disconnected electrical harness connectors: Protect from dirt and moisture, be sure harness connector is dry before connecting.

Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lights up when exhaust relevant malfunctions are recognized by the Engine Control Module (ECM).

Component location of exhaust MIL

Note. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) can blink or remain lit continuously. DTC memory should be checked in any case.

MIL blinking

  1. There is a malfunction that causes damage to the catalytic converter in this driving condition. In this case, drive must only be performed at reduced power (until the MIL goes out or remains constantly lit) and malfunction must be eliminated as quickly as possible!

MIL continuously lit

  1. There is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Engine Control Module (ECM) and automatic transmission.
  2. If there are driveability problems or customer complaints and the MIL is not lit, DTC memory must be checked after function test of exhaust MIL, since malfunctions can also be stored without causing the MIL to light immediately.

Scheme 797

Scheme 797: EPC warning lamp

"EPC" is an abbreviation and stands for Electronic Power Control.

Installation location of EPC warning lamp

With ignition on, Engine Control Module (ECM) activates the EPC warning lamp.

After engine start, ECM tests all components important for the function of the EPC system.

During the test of these components, the EPC lamp is lit for approx. 3 seconds. If a malfunction is recognized during the test, the lamp will remain constantly lit.

If malfunctions are recognized in the E-Gas system during operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the EPC warning lamp in instrument cluster. An entry is made in DTC memory at the same time.

Engine Control Module, Replacing

Note. To achieve optimal anti-theft protection for the vehicle, an anti-theft immobilizer was installed. The anti-theft immobilizer is a system for enabling/locking the Engine Control Module (ECM). So that this system cannot be circumvented, it is necessary to perform adaptation of the anti-theft immobilizer using the Vehicle Diagnostic and Information System VAS5051 or VAS5052 in the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) function. The great availability of equipment options makes adaptation of the Engine Control Module (ECM) necessary (e.g. cruise control system, coding). This "writing" function is not possible with the generic scan tool, therefore it is necessary to use the Vehicle Diagnostic and Information System VAS5051 or VAS5052 in On Board Diagnostic (OBD) function for this purpose.

  1. Procedure to replace Engine Control Module (ECM): --> «24 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)»(/audi/a8/d3-2005-2007/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-bfm)

Oxygen Sensor Control, Checking

Note. Oxygen sensor compares oxygen content of air with residual oxygen content in exhaust and delivers a voltage signal to the control module. Voltage signal "mixture rich" (little residual oxygen) is approx. 0.7 to 0.9 V. Voltage signal "mixture lean" (much residual oxygen) is approx. 0 to 0.2 V. Due to Ground (GND)-isolated oxygen sensor construction, negative voltages related to engine Ground (GND) are possible. At the transition from "rich" to "lean" and vice versa (Lambda = 1.0), voltage will jump from 0.7 to 0.9 V to 0 to 0.2 V or vice versa. Due to the steep voltage jump, oxygen sensor control cannot maintain the ideal mixture of Lambda = 1.0 constant. Oxygen sensor regulation constantly fluctuates back and forth between the conditions "slightly too lean" and "slightly too rich".

If voltage change does not occur or only occurs slowly, the following malfunctions could be present.

  1. Slits or holes in sensor head clogged.
  2. Sensor still too cold (cold start)
  3. Sensors suffered thermal overload.
  4. Contact resistance in signal wire or reference Ground (GND) wire.
  1. Sensor damaged by contact spray or similar substance (contact spray is drawn through the fine hollow spaces by thermal fluctuations and capillary action into the electrical wiring in sensor).
  2. Sensor damaged by silicon fumes: The use of sealants containing silicon leads to trace elements of silicon being drawn in by the engine. These silicon elements are not combusted and damage the oxygen sensor.

Secondary Air Injection System

The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system causes the catalytic converter to heat up more quickly, resulting in earlier operating readiness following cold start.

Principle

Due to over-enrichment of the mixture during the cold start phase, there is an increased amount of uncombusted carbon monoxide in the exhaust. Secondary Air Injection (AIR) improves secondary oxidation in the catalytic converter and therefore reduces emissions. The heat produced by secondary oxidation greatly reduces start-up time for the catalytic converter, therefore improving exhaust quality during the cold start phase significantly.

Function

  1. In the cold start phase, the ECM - 3 - activates the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump - 1 - via the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump relay - 2 -. Air reaches the combination valves for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) - 4 - and - 8 -.
  2. The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve - 5 - is activated in parallel, which allows the vacuum to reach the combination valves for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) - 4 - and - 8 -. The appropriate combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
