Strategy Based Diagnostics

All diagnosis on a vehicle should follow a logical process. Strategy based diagnostics is a uniform approach for repairing all systems. The diagnostic flow may always be used in order to resolve a system condition. The diagnostic flow is the place to start when repairs are necessary.

Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the engine.
  2. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
  3. Inspect for the correct oil level, proper oil viscosity, and correct filter application.
  4. Verify the exact operating conditions under which the concern exists. Note factors such as engine RPM, ambient temperature, engine temperature, amount of engine warm-up time, and other specifics.
  5. Compare the engine sounds, if applicable, to a known good engine and make sure you are not trying to correct a normal condition.

Intermittent

Test the vehicle under the same conditions that the customer reported in order to verify the system is operating properly.

Diagnostic Aids

  1. A chirping or squeal noise may be intermittent due to moisture on the drive belts or the pulleys. It may be necessary to spray a small amount of water on the drive belts in order to duplicate the customers concern. If spraying water on the drive belt duplicates the symptom, cleaning the belt pulleys may be the probable solution.
  2. If the noise is intermittent, verify the accessory drive components by varying their loads making sure they are operated to their maximum capacity. An overcharged A/C system, power steering system with a pinched hose or wrong fluid, or a generator failing are suggested items to inspect.
  3. A chirping, squeal or whine noise may be caused by a loose or improper installation of a body or suspension component. Other items of the vehicle may also cause the noise.
  4. The drive belts will not cause a whine noise.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2 The noise may not be engine related. This step is to verify that the engine is making the noise. If the engine is not making the noise do not proceed further with this table.
  2. 3 The noise may be an internal engine noise. Removing the drive belts one at a time and operating the engine for a brief period will verify the noise is related to the drive belt. When removing the drive belt the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed.
  3. 4 Inspect all drive belt pulleys for pilling. Pilling is the small balls or pills or it can be strings in the drive belt grooves from the accumulation of rubber dust.
  4. 6 Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
  5. 10 Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed.
  6. 12 Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
  7. 14 This test is to verify that the drive belt tensioner operates properly. If the drive belt tensioner is not operating properly, proper belt tension may not be achieved to keep the drive belt from slipping which could cause a squeal noise.
  8. 15 This test is to verify that the drive belt is not too long, which would prevent the drive belt tensioner from working properly. Also if an incorrect length drive belt was installed, it may not be routed properly and may be turning an accessory drive component in the wrong direction.
  9. 16 Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure for that pulley.
  10. 17 This test is to verify that the pulleys are the correct diameter or width. Using a known good vehicle compare the pulley sizes.
  11. 19 Replacing the drive belt when it is not damaged or there is not excessive pilling will only be a temporary repair.
StepActionYesNo
CAUTION: Do not use belt dressing on the drive belt. Belt dressing causes the breakdown of the composition of the drive belt. Failure to follow this recommendation will damage the drive belt. DEFINITION: The following items are indications of chirping: A high pitched noise that is heard once per revolution of the drive belt or a pulley. Chirping may occur on cold damp start-ups and will subside once the vehicle reaches normal operating temp. DEFINITION: The following items are indications of drive belt squeal: A loud screeching noise that is caused by a slipping drive belt. This is unusual for a drive belt with multiple ribs. The noise occurs when a heavy load is applied to the drive belt, such as an air conditioning compressor engagement snapping the throttle, or slipping on a seized pulley or a faulty accessory drive component. DEFINITION: The following items are indications of drive belt whine: A high pitched continuous noise. The noise may be caused by an accessory drive component failed bearing.

Drive Belt Chirping, Squeal, and Whine Diagnosis

The accessory drive components can have an affect on engine vibration. Vibration from the engine operating may cause a body component or another part of the vehicle to make rumbling noise. Vibration can be caused by, but not limited to the A/C system over charged, the power steering system restricted or the incorrect fluid, or an extra load on the generator. To help identify an intermittent or an improper condition, vary the loads on the accessory drive components.

The drive belt may have a rumbling condition that can not be seen or felt. Sometimes replacing the drive belt may be the only repair for the symptom.

If replacing the drive belt, completing the diagnostic table, and the noise is only heard when the drive belts are installed, there might be an accessory drive component with a failure. Varying the load on the different accessory drive components may aid in identifying which component is causing the rumbling noise.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2 This test is to verify that the symptom is present during diagnosing. Other vehicle components may cause a similar symptom.
  2. 3 This test is to verify that one of the drive belts is causing the rumbling noise or vibration. Rumbling noise may be confused with an internal engine noise due to the similarity in the description. Remove only one drive belt at a time if the vehicle has multiple drive belts. When removing the drive belts the water pump may not be operating and the engine may overheat. Also DTCs may set when the engine is operating with the drive belts removed.
  3. 4 Inspecting the drive belts is to ensure that they are not causing the noise. Small cracks across the ribs of the drive belt will not cause the noise. Belt separation can be recognized at the edge of the belt or felt as a lump in the belt.
  4. 5 Small amounts of pilling is normal condition and acceptable. When the pilling is severe the drive belt does not have a smooth surface for proper operation.
  5. 9 Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that the wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed.
  6. 11 This step should only be performed if the water pump is driven by the drive belt. Inspect the water pump shaft for being bent. Also inspect the water pump bearings for smooth operation and excessive play. Compare the water pump with a known good water pump.
  7. 12 Accessory drive component brackets that are bent, cracked, or loose may put extra strain on that accessory component causing it to vibrate.
StepActionYesNo
DEFINITION: The following items are indications of drive belt rumbling: A low pitch tapping, knocking, or thumping noise heard at or just above idle.

Drive Belt Rumbling and Vibration Diagnosis

If the drive belt repeatedly falls off the drive belt pulleys, this is because of pulley misalignment.

An extra load that is quickly applied on released by an accessory drive component may cause the drive belt to fall off the pulleys. Verify the accessory drive components operate properly.

If the drive belt is the incorrect length, the drive belt tensioner may not keep the proper tension on the drive belt.

Excessive wear on a drive belt is usually caused by an incorrect installation or the wrong drive belt for the application.

Minor misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will not cause excessive wear, but will probably cause the drive belt to make a noise or to fall off.

Excessive misalignment of the drive belt pulleys will cause excessive wear but may also make the drive belt fall off.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2 This inspection is to verify the condition of the drive belt. Damage may of occurred to the drive belt when the drive belt fell off. The drive belt may of been damaged, which caused the drive belt to fall off. Inspect the belt for cuts, tears or sections of ribs missing.
  2. 4 Misalignment of the pulleys may be caused from improper mounting of the accessory drive component, incorrect installation of the accessory drive component pulley, or the pulley bent inward or outward from a previous repair. Test for a misaligned pulley using a straight edge in the pulley grooves across two or three pulleys. If a misaligned pulley is found refer to that accessory drive component for the proper installation procedure of that pulley.
  3. 5 Inspecting the pulleys for being bent should include inspecting for a dent or other damage to the pulleys that would prevent the drive belt from not seating properly in all of the pulley grooves or on the smooth surface of a pulley when the back side of the belt is used to drive the pulley.
  4. 6 Accessory drive component brackets that are bent or cracked will let the drive belt fall off.
  5. 7 Inspecting of the fasteners can eliminate the possibility that a wrong bolt, nut, spacer, or washer was installed. Missing. loose, or the wrong fasteners may cause pulley misalignment from the bracket moving under load. Over tightening of the fasteners may cause misalignment of the accessory component bracket.
  6. 13 The inspection is to verify the drive belt is correctly installed on all of the drive belt pulleys. Wear on the drive belt may be caused by mis-positioning the drive belt by one groove on a pulley.
  7. 14 The installation of a drive belt that is two wide or two narrow will cause wear on the drive belt. The drive belt ribs should match all of the grooves on all of the pulleys.
  8. 15 This inspection is to verify the drive belt is not contacting any parts of the engine or body while the engine is operating. There should be sufficient clearance when the drive belt accessory drive components load varies. The drive belt should not come in contact with an engine or a body component when snapping the throttle.

Drive Belt Falls Off and Excessive Wear Diagnosis

Drive Belt Tensioner Diagnosis

Special Tools

EN-48488 Holding Wrench

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .

  1. Diagnosis consists of a function check on the automatic belt tensioner and a visual check on the belt and the components linked to the belt.
  2. Install the EN-48488 wrench (2) to the drive belt tensioner pulley bolt (1).
  3. Apply tension to the drive belt tensioner spring (3) by moving the drive belt tensioner pulley clockwise.
  4. Allow the drive belt tensioner to slide back slowly and thereby inspect the drive belt tensioner mechanism for practicability.

Check for Thermal Overload

Note. These quick information shall help to carry out a correct diagnosis in case of a customer complaint.

Through friction of clutch plate on the friction surface of the dual mass flywheel temperatures up to 200 °C can arise during normal driving. At sliding clutch or through operating errors much higher temperatures can arise. These temperatures must not cause mandatory a reduced lifetime of the dual mass flywheel.

Possible indications for a high thermal load are

  1. Tarnish (bluish) as well as local hotspots on friction surface
  2. Tarnish (bluish) near of mounting area and riveting area of clutch

If all other checkable features are well, the dual mass flywheel can stay in the vehicle.

Possible indications for a too high thermal load are

  1. Cracks
  2. Fusion zones on friction surface (material smear)
  3. Scores in friction surface (for example through clutch lining riveting at destroyed or worn clutch plate)
  4. Tarnish (bluish) which reaches up to bearing area of dual mass flywheel
  5. Bluish discoloration of locating pins (3 locating pins in outer zone of dual mass flywheel)

In these cases the dual mass flywheel has to be replaced.

Check for Damaged Components

All following checking procedures have to be carried out at installed dual mass flywheel. For visual check at vehicle very bright light and a additional bright and small pocket lamp is necessary. Damages like grease on primary flywheel and loose ore missing balance weights cannot be checked at installed condition. During visual check material alteration can be stated which eliminate a further operating suitability.

For comparison different damages at dual mass flywheel with the corresponding further procedure are presented here.

  1. Inspect plain bearing (1) for damages. Dependent of the manufacturer damages can be detected through ventilation openings of secondary flywheel. Parts of the bearing (1) are detached or lie loose around the bearing bolt.
  2. Inspect toothed ring (1) for damages. The toothed ring is needed to start the engine. Through a lot of starting procedures and/or an incorrect engaging starter signs of abrasion can occur on teeth of the toothed ring. The profile of damages can reach from only low signs of abrasion up to heavy material removal. The installation of a pulse-generator ring depends on the manufacturer. The image shows signs of abrasion and mechanical damages at toothed ring (1), they occur through abrasion due to a lot of starting procedures. In this case the dual mass flywheel has to be replaced.
  3. Inspect tilt clearance. At dual mass flywheel the additional-mass ring looms over the gap between primary and secondary flywheel. It is not possible to carry out just a visual check.
  4. Embrace dual mass flywheel and apply thumbs onto the outer radius of secondary flywheel.
  5. Apply pressure onto the secondary flywheel alternating on upper, lower, left and right side During the tilt clearance check a functional metal rattling noise may occur. If tilt clearance is higher than 3 mm (MUST be measured, DO NOT make an estimation) (1) the dual mass flywheel has to be replaced.
  6. Inspect clearance angle (1). Before the inspection of the clearance angle the dual mass flywheel should be rotated several times clockwise and anticlockwise to receive a feeling for the resistance of the springs. In addition unusual loud clicking noise or possible rattle, crunch, grinding noise can be sounded out during rotating the dual mass flywheel. If the rotation of the flywheel is impossible the flywheel is defective and has to be replaced. The clearance angle is the angle (1) about the secondary and the primary flywheel can be turned light against each other. Thereby the flange wings are moved in the duct of the bowed springs without adjoining the bowed springs. Dictated by functional factors the clearance angle is up to 8 teeth. Is the secondary flywheel rotated beyond this point the bowed springs in the duct are moved to spring arrestor in the primary flywheel/cover. Now the both spring are tensioned. Rotate secondary flywheel anticlockwise (arrow) until the elastic counterforce (spring force) is clear noticeable. Release secondary flywheel slowly until the bowed springs are relaxed, so no counterforce acts onto the springs. Mark position with a vertical line by a white pencil on secondary flywheel (1) and on toothed ring for starter (2). Rotate secondary flywheel clockwise until the elastic counterforce is clear noticeable. Release secondary flywheel slowly until the bowed springs are relaxed. Apply new marking on secondary flywheel (1) on the height of the marking on the toothed ring for starter (3). Count amount of teeth on toothed ring for starter from marked tooth up to the height of the first marking on secondary flywheel (2). Dictated by functional factors up to 8 teeth are allowed.
  7. ALWAYS replace the engine flywheel if following conditions are given: The difference exceeds the amount of 8 teeth. The dual mass flywheel cannot be rotated. During rotating the dual mass flywheel a hard metallic arrestor is audible or noticeable.

The crankshaft is a steel crankshaft. It is supported in 5 main journals with main bearings which have oil clearance for lubrication. The 3rd bearing is the thrust bearing which controls the proper axial end play of the crankshaft. A harmonic damper is used to control torsional vibration.

Oil Pump

The engine is equipped with a variable oil pump. The oil pump is integrated into the engine front cover and provides different oil pressure values depending on the engine speed.

Oil Pan

The oil pan is a structural aluminum oil pan with transmission attachment points. The oil suction gallery for the oil pump is integrated into the oil pan.

Piston and Connecting Rod

The pistons are aluminum pistons. The connecting rods are made of fractured steel. The piston pin is floating in piston bore and shrinked in connecting rod.

Cylinder Head

This cylinder head is a double over head camshaft (DOHC) type and has 2 camshafts that open 4 valves per cylinder with hydraulic valve lash adjusters and hydraulic valve lash adjuster arms. The cylinder head is made of cast aluminum alloy for better strength and hardness while remaining light weight. The combustion chamber of the cylinder head is designed for increasing of squish and swirl efficiency to help maximize gasoline combustion efficiency.

Camshaft Drive with Variable Camshaft Timing

A timing chain is used for camshaft drive. There is a tensioner to control the tension of the chain. The engine is equipped with a variable camshaft timing system. The camshaft adjuster will readjust itself depending on the engine speed. The valve timing readjusts to reduce fuel consumption and provide optimal power and torque.

Intake Manifold

The intake manifold provides the air flow passage to the combustion chambers through the throttle body. The intake manifold along with the throttle body have an effect on engine torque, power, noise, driveability, emission, fuel economy and performance. The intake manifold is made of plastic for better strength with maintaining a light weight.

Turbocharger

The turbocharger consists of turbine and compressor on a common shaft. The shaft bearing is constructed to higher rotation speed and lubricated by engine oil. The turbocharger is water cooled for improved durability. The turbine wheel is driven by exhaust emissions. The compressor wheel compresses the intake air. A bypass valve (Wastegate) regulates the charging pressure for generating a high pressure at low speed as well. At a defined charging pressure it regulates the way of the exhaust emission on bypassing the turbine wheel. The Wastegate valve is controlled pneumatic and electric from the pressure in the intake manifold. The pressure of exhaust emission is reduced by opening the Wastegate thereby reducing the intake pressure.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation

The crankcase ventilation system is used to consume crankcase vapors in the combustion process instead of venting vapors to the atmosphere. Fresh air from the intake system is supplied to the crankcase, mixed with blow-by gases and then passed through a calibrated orifice into the intake manifold. The primary control is through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice which meters the flow at a rate depending on inlet vacuum. The PCV orifice is an integral part of the camshaft cover. If abnormal operating conditions occur, the system is designed to allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back flow through the crankcase vent into the intake system to be consumed by normal combustion.

Scheme 20

Scheme 20: Positive Crankcase Ventilation

The blow-by system is designed as a closed crankcase ventilation system (CCV) evacuating the combustion gas from the crankcase (8), separating the oil with an oil separator (1), regulating the pressure in the cylinder head cover (2) over an pressure regulation valve (3) and feed the cleaned gas through the cylinder head (7) into the intake manifold (6). The primary blow-by system leads the gas through a non-return valve (NRV) directly into the plenum; the secondary blow-by pipe assembly (4) routes the cleaned blow-by gas from the intake manifold to the air intake of the turbo charger (9). Deviations from recommended materials have to be indicated and agreed. The blow-by pipe assembly carries the ventilation gas and prevents a leakage or a back-flow of the blow-by gas. It incorporates a quick connector to the manifold, the non-return valve (5) and a quick connector to the turbo charger as well as brackets to hold the pipe assembly. A combined quick connector with a non-return valve (10) at the turbo charger is installed, also.

Results of Incorrect Operation

A plugged positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) orifice or hose may cause the following conditions

  1. Rough idle
  2. Stalling or slow idle speed
  3. Oil leaks
  4. Oil in the throttle body
  5. Sludge in the engine

Functional Check

With these systems, any blow-by in excess of the system capacity, from a badly worn engine, sustained heavy load, etc., is exhausted into the air cleaner and is drawn into the engine.

Proper operation of the crankcase ventilation system depends upon a sealed engine. If oil slugging or dilution is noted and the crankcase ventilation system is functioning properly, check the engine for a possible cause. Correct any problems.

If an engine is idling rough, inspect for a clogged PCV orifice, a dirty vent filter, air cleaner element, or plugged hose. Replace as required. Use the following procedure

  1. Remove the PCV hose from the cylinder head cover.
  2. Operate the engine at idle.
  3. Place your thumb over the end of the hose in order to check for a vacuum. If there is no vacuum at the hose, inspect for the following items: Plugged hoses The manifold port
  4. Turn OFF the engine.
  5. Inspect the PCV orifice in the cylinder head cover for debris or blockage.

Scheme 21

Scheme 21: General Lubrication Description

Oil is applied under pressure to the crankshaft bearings (6), connecting rod bearings (7), camshaft bearings (2) and hydraulic lash adjusters (3). In addition the variable oil pump (9), variable camshaft phaser (1), and hydraulic chain tensioner (14) are supplied with pressurized oil. Oil is sucked from the oil pan through the fixed screen into the variable vane type oil pump. The pump is integrated in the front cover and directly driven by the crankshaft. Also integrated into the front cover is a pressure relieve valve (8) that opens when the oil pressure is too high at a cold start. When that valve is open some oil flows directly into the oil pan. Normally the pressurized oil passes into the engine oil gallery leading through the oil cooler (5) to the oil filter assembly (4). The oil is cleaned by passing the filter from the outer to the inner side of the filter. Then the oil flows into the main oil gallery. A filter by-pass valve in the oil filter ensures continues oil flow in case the oil filter should be restricted by more than 1.7 bar. From the oil filter the oil is distributed to the crankshaft bearings, oil pump displacement control chamber (10) and cylinder head feed (11). The connecting rod bearings are supplied by oil flow passages through the crankshaft connecting the main journals to the rod journals. A groove around each upper main bearing furnishes oil to the drilled crankshaft passages. In the cylinder head the oil is distributed to the variable camshaft phasers, chain tensioner, oil pressure switch (12) and through the restrictor orifice (13) into the camshaft feed oil gallery. From there the hydraulic valve lifters and camshaft bearings are supplied with oil.

Variable Oil Pump Description

The engine is equipped with a variable displacement vane oil pump. It is indirect regulated by the oil pressure out of the main oil gallery. The purpose of this indirect regulation is to keep a defined maximum pressure in the main oil gallery independent of the individual pressure drop between the pump outlet, the main gallery inlet, and the various engine components. The purpose of the variable displacement is to reduce the power consumption of the pump to reduce the overall fuel consumption of the engine. The oil flow of a static displacement oil pump is linear to the speed of the pump. This would lead to a too high oil pressure after a certain engine speed (ca. 1000 rpm at cold oil temperature, ca. 3000 rpm at hot oil temperatures). To reduce that high oil pressure normal pumps have a relieve valve: a portion of the pressurized, already pumped oil is fed back to the intake of the pump. This is waste of power. The oil flow of a Variable Displacement Vane Pump (VDVP) as used in Fam 0 Gen 3 is linear to the speed and to the excentricity of the rotor to the slide. The slide is moveable, so it is possible to reduce the oil flow for a given speed by reducing the excentricity. With a lower flow the oil pressure is reduced; pump oil flow equals now engine oil flow.

Cleanliness and Care

An automobile engine is a combination of many of the following surfaces

  1. Machined
  2. Honed
  3. Polished
  4. Lapped

The tolerances of these surfaces are measured in the ten-thousandths of an inch. When you service any internal engine part, cleanliness and care are important. Apply a liberal coating of engine oil to the friction areas during assembly in order to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation. Throughout this section, practice proper cleaning and protection procedures to the machined surfaces and to the friction areas.

Whenever you remove the valve train components, keep the components in order. Follow this procedure in order to install the components in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when removed.

WARNINGRefer to Battery Disconnect Warning .

Disconnect the negative battery cables before you perform any major work on the engine.

Pipe Joint Compound

Note. Three types of sealer are commonly used in engines. These are RTV sealer, anaerobic gasket eliminator sealer, and pipe joint compound. The correct sealer and amount must be used in the proper location to prevent oil leaks. DO NOT interchange the 3 types of sealers. Use only the specific sealer or the equivalent as recommended in the service procedure.

  1. Pipe joint compound is a pliable sealer that does not completely harden. This type sealer is used where 2 non-rigid parts, such as the oil pan and the engine block, are assembled together.
  2. Do not use pipe joint compound in areas where extreme temperatures are expected. These areas include: exhaust manifold, head gasket, or other surfaces where gasket eliminator is specified.
  3. Follow all safety recommendations and directions that are on the container. To remove the sealant or the gasket material.
  4. Apply the pipe joint compound to a clean surface. Use a bead size or quantity as specified in the procedure. Run the bead to the inside of any bolt holes. Do not allow the sealer to enter any blind threaded holes, as it may prevent the bolt from clamping properly.
  5. Apply a continuous bead of pipe joint compound to one sealing surface. Sealing surfaces to be resealed must be clean and dry.
  6. Tighten the bolts to specifications. Do not overtighten.
