Safety Precautions

CAUTIONWhen doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues: For reasons of safety, you must first remove both relays for electric fuel pumps --> Electric fuel pump II relay and --> Fuel Pump (FP) Relay J17 from the relay plate before opening the fuel system. Otherwise, the fuel pumps could activate when you open the drivers door. Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored. Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. Fuel system is under pressure! Before loosening hose connections or separating points, place rags around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully opening the fuel supply system. The fuel or fuel lines in fuel system can become very hot (danger of scalding)! Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when working on the fuel system! Before starting work, switch on exhaust extraction system and place an extraction hose close to the sensor 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. Prevent fuel from contacting skin! Wear fuel-resistant gloves! If the engine is to be turned at starter speed, without starting: Pull fuses 29 and 30 for fuel injectors 1 to 12 out of the fuse holder in the right side of the instrument panel: installation location, see: --> Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting and Component Locations All mechanical procedures and exploded view illustrations with torque specifications are described in --> 20 - FUEL SUPPLY

Clean Working Conditions

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "5 rules" of cleanliness

  1. Thoroughly clean all connections and surrounding area before disconnecting.
  2. Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Do not use fluffy cloths!
  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 (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
  1. When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Fuel Supply System Components, Removing and Installing

Note. Hose connections are secured with couplings or spring-type or clamp-type clips. Always replace clamp-type clips with spring-type clips. Fuel hoses at engine must only be secured with spring-type clips. The use of clamp or screw type clips is not permissible. The Spring Type Clip Pliers VAS 5024 A are recommended for installing spring-type clips.

EVAP System

> Leak Detection Pump, Checking

Function of Leak Diagnostic

The EVAP system (including fuel tank) is equipped with leak diagnosis. The leak diagnosis will detect whether the system is leaking.

The diagnosis operates by pressurizing the system and should detect leaks where the damage exceeds 1 mm in diameter.

During the diagnostic, the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) V144 generates a positive pressure of approx. 30 mbar in the EVAP canister system. The pump will switch off when the pressure is attained. When the pressure falls to below a certain figure, the pump will switch on again. On Board Diagnostic monitors the switch intervals and stores a DTC in DTC memory if the intervals are too short.

Note. Hose connections are secured with screw-type clamps, spring-type clamps or tensioning clamps. Always replace tensioning clamps with sprint-type clamps or screw-type clamps. Fuel hoses at engine must only be secured with spring-type clips. The use of clamp or screw type clips is not permissible. The pliers Spring Type Clip Pliers VAS 5024 A are recommended for installing spring-type clips. Ventilation lines, connecting lines and hose connections must not have leaks. Ventilation lines and connecting lines must not be clogged or kinked. For trouble-free operation of the electrical components a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary. Engine Control Modules (ECM) are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). Components marked with * are tested via On Board Diagnostic (OBD) --> Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory , Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.

Electronic Power Control

For EPC, the throttle valve is not operated by a cable from the accelerator pedal. There is no mechanical connection between the gas pedal and the throttle valve.

The position of the accelerator pedal is communicated to the Engine Control Modules (ECMs) via two sensors for accelerator pedal position (variable resistances; stored in one housing) that are connected with the accelerator pedal.

The accelerator pedal position (drivers intention) is a main input unit for the ECMs.

Operation of the throttle valve occurs via an electric motor (throttle valve actuator) in the throttle valve control modules. This is true across the entire engine speed and engine load spectrum.

The throttle valve is operated by the throttle drive according to the instructions of the Engine Control Modules (ECMs).

With the engine at standstill and the ignition switched on, the corresponding Engine Control Module (ECM) activates the throttle drive precisely according to the specifications of the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor. This means, if the accelerator pedal is depressed half way, the throttle drive opens the throttle valve to the same degree; i.e. throttle valve is then opened approx. half way.

With engine running (under load) the engine control module can open and close the throttle valve independently of the accelerator pedal position sensor.

That way e.g. the throttle valve can already be completely opened, although the accelerator pedal is only depressed half-way. An advantage of this is that throttle losses at the throttle valve are avoided.

Aside from that, it results in clearly better pollutant output and consumption values under certain load conditions.

It would be incorrect to think that "EPC" consists of only one or two components. EPC is much more of a system containing all components that contribute to assign, control and monitor the position of the throttle valve, e.g. sensor for Throttle Position (TP) Sensor, throttle valve control module, EPC warning lamp, Engine Control Modules (ECMs).

Note. Engine Control Modules (ECM) are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). Components marked with * are tested via On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.

Fuel Injection System, Servicing

Note. Engine Control Modules (ECM) are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). Always check DTC memory first, before performing repairs or troubleshooting. Also the vacuum hoses and connections must be checked (unmetered air). For trouble-free operation of the electrical components a voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary. Do not use sealants containing silicone. Traces of silicone components which are sucked into the engine are not burned there, and they damage the oxygen sensors. The batteries must only be disconnected and connected with the ignition switched off, since the Engine Control Modules (ECM) can otherwise be damaged. Fuel hoses at engine must only be secured with spring-type clips. The use of clamp or screw type clips is not permissible. The pliers Spring Type Clip Pliers VAS 5024 A are recommended for installing spring-type clips. Vacuum lines and hose connections must not have leaks. Vacuum hoses must not be clogged or kinked. Components marked are tested via On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory. During some checks it is possible that the control module will detect and store a malfunction. Therefore the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence after ending all tests and repairs. Check DTC memory; Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory, Erase DTC memory --> Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory , Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data, For completion, generate readiness code --> Readiness Code, Generating .

Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting and Component Locations.

CAUTIONWhen doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues: Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored. Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. Fuel system is under pressure! Before loosening hose connections or separating points, place rags around the connection point. Then release pressure by carefully opening the fuel supply system. The fuel or fuel lines in fuel system can become very hot (danger of scalding)! Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when working on the fuel system! Shift selector lever into position "P" and engage parking brake before working with the engine running. To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following: Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, when ignition is switched off.
CAUTIONIf the engine is to be turned at starter speed, without starting: Pull fuses 29 and 30 for fuel injectors 1 to 12 out of the fuse holder in the right side of the instrument panel: Installation location, see: --> Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting and Component Locations
  1. Fuse holder in right of instrument panel.

Safety Precautions for Road Tests

If test and measuring equipment is required during road test, note the following

CAUTIONTest and measuring instruments must be secured to rear seat and operated by a 2nd person from this location. If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passengers seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, there is a possibility that the person sitting in this seat may receive serious injuries when the airbag is triggered.

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "5 rules" of cleanliness

  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. Do not use fluffy cloths!
  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 (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
  1. When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Secondary Air Injection System

CAUTIONWhen doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues: Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, EVAP system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum lines and hoses) and electrical wiring so that the original positions are restored. Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. Shift selector lever into position "P" and engage parking brake before working with the engine running.

Principle

Due to rich mixture during the cold start phase, the exhaust emissions contain an increased level of unburned hydrocarbons. The secondary air injection (AIR) system improves the secondary oxidation within the catalytic converter, thereby reducing harmful emissions. The heat released by secondary oxidation shortens the start-up time of the catalytic converter considerably, as well as significantly improves emissions quality during the cold-running phase.

Function

Scheme 1002

Scheme 1002

In the cold-run phase, control modules - 3 - and - 4 - activate secondary air injection (AIR) pumps - 7 - and - 8 - via both secondary air injection (AIR) pump relays - 2 - and - 5 -. The stream of air from the secondary air injection (AIR) pump opens the combination valve and allows air to flow into the exhaust system before the catalytic converter.

OBD, General Information

The Engine and Transmission Control Modules are equipped with a DTC memory.

If malfunctions occur in emissions-related systems or components, they are stored in DTC memory with a description of the malfunction type.

Control modules differentiate between different DTCs after evaluating the information --> DTC Tables .

Stored malfunctions can be retrieved with a commercially available tester --> Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory , Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.

When connectors are disconnected from the Engine Control Module (ECM) or the batteries are disconnected, all adaptation values in the control module are erased. DTC memory content will remain intact however. If the engine is started after this, the idle may be rough for a short period. In this case, the readiness code must be generated again --> Readiness Code, Generating .

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

1.- Check DTC memory --> Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory , Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.

2.- Erase DTC memory --> Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory , Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data.

Readiness Code

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

When the diagnostic for a system (e.g.: secondary air system) has run through successfully, the respective digit of the number block is set from 1 to 0.

Diagnostics are performed at regular intervals during normal vehicle operation. After repairing an emissions-related 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 the diagnostic, it is stored in DTC memory.

The readiness code is erased every time the DTC memory is erased and every time the voltage supply is interrupted. For this reason, only erase DTC memory if there is a DTC stored in it.
