Safety precautions

Note the following points if testers and measuring instruments have to be used in the course of a test drive

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

1. Always switch off ignition before disconnecting or connecting injection, ignition system wiring, or tester cables.
2. To run engine at starting speed without actually starting it (for example, in order to test compression), disconnect connector from the output stages of the ignition coils and also the connectors on the injectors.
3. In the case of some 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.
4. Always switch ignition off before washing engine.

1. Always switch ignition off before disconnecting and connecting battery so as not to damage engine control module.

Rules for cleanliness

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

1. Thoroughly clean all connections and adjacent areas before disconnecting.
2. Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use lint-free cloths.
3. Carefully cover or seal opened components if repairs cannot be done immediately.
4. Only install clean components: Only remove replacement parts from packaging immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (e.g. in tool boxes).

1. When 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 attaching.

Emission-specific malfunctions recognized by the engine control module are indicated by activating the exhaust emissions warning lamp.

Exhaust emissions warning lamp (CHECK)

Note. Exhaust emissions warning lamp may flash or be constantly lit. DTC memory is always to be checked.

Flashing of exhaust emissions warning lamp

1. A malfunction has been detected which will cause the catalytic converter damage in this driving status. In such cases, the vehicle is only to be driven at reduced power (until MIL goes out or lights constantly) and malfunction is to be repaired as quickly as possible.

Constant lighting of exhaust emissions warning lamp

1. A malfunction detrimental to emissions has occurred. Check engine control module or automatic transmission DTC memory.
2. In the event of engine running problems or a customer complaint without lighting of the exhaust emissions warning lamp, check operation of warning lamp and then check DTC memory, as malfunctions may also have been stored which do not immediately activate the exhaust emissions warning lamp.

EPC warning lamp

"EPC" is the abbreviation for Electronic Power Control, in other words electronic engine output control (electronic throttle).

When the ignition is turned on, the engine control module switches on the EPC lamp.

After the engine is started the engine control module checks all components relevant to the operation of electronic throttle system.

During the component check, the EPC lamp lights up for approx. 3 seconds. The lamp lights continuously if a malfunction is already established in the course of this check.

If malfunctions in the electronic throttle system are detected during engine operation, the engine control module activates the EPC lamp. At the same time, an entry is made in the engine control module DTC memory.

If specified results are not attained for one injector

1. Replace relevant injector.

Note. When checking the injection quantity, also check the spray pattern. The spray pattern should be the same for all the injectors.

Installation of the fuel rail together with injectors is performed in the reverse sequence. The following points should be noted when installing

1. Replace the O-rings at all opened connections. (when replacing the front O-ring, make sure the plastic cap is not removed from the injector head. The O-ring must be pulled off over the plastic cap).
2. Coat O-rings with clean engine oil.
3. Check to make sure that the retainer clamps are properly seated.
4. When screwing fuel rail to intake manifold, tighten to: 10 Nm

1. Bleed air from fuel system. Refer to «Bleed air from fuel system»(/audi/s4/b8-2008-2011/remont/cooling-fan/#42l-v8-5v-fuel-injection-and-ignition-engine-codes-bhf__bleed-air-from-fuel-system)

Wiring and component check using test box V.A.G 1598/31

Note. The test box VAG 1598/31 is designed in such a way that it can be connected simultaneously to the engine control module wiring harness and to the engine control module itself.

General notes on ignition system

1. The engine control module is equipped with On Board Diagnostic (OBD).
2. A voltage of at least 11.5 V is necessary for satisfactory functioning of the electrical components.
3. In the case of some 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.
4. If the engine starts briefly and then stops after the DTC search, repair or tests on components, this may be because the immobilizer is blocking the engine control module. The DTC memory must then be checked and, if necessary, adaptation carried out on the control module.

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

1. Do not touch or disconnect ignition cables when the engine is running or at starter speed.
2. Always switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting the battery, otherwise the engine control module may be damaged.
3. Always switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
4. To run engine at starting speed without actually starting it (for example, in order to test compression), unplug connector from the output stages of the ignition coils and also the connectors on the injectors. After completing the work, check the DTC memory and erase it.

1. Always switch off the ignition before washing the engine.
