Inspection and Verification
- Verify the customer concern.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity. Visual Inspection Mechanical Electrical Engine breather hoses Cyclone separator Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipes (check for cracks) EGR valve Fuses Wiring harness Loose or corroded electrical connectors Sensor(s) Stepper motor(s) Secondary air injection (AIR) pump Secondary air injection (AIR) valve Engine control module (ECM)
- If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
- If the cause is not visually evident, verify the customer concern and refer to «Symptom Chart»(ref-312584-S28696038662009041400000) below, alternatively, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and refer to «DTC Index»(ref-312584-S22403642612009041400000) .
Symptom Chart
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Engine cranks, but does not fire | Engine breather system disconnected/restricted | Ensure the engine breather system is free from restriction and is correctly installed |
| Difficult to start cold | Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve stuck open | Read DTCs and refer to DTC Index for EGR valve tests |
| Engine stalls soon after start | Breather system disconnected/restricted | Ensure the engine breather system is free from restriction and is correctly installed |
| Engine stops/stalls | EGR valve stuck open | Read DTCs and refer to DTC Index for EGR valve tests |
| Poor idle quality | EGR valve stuck open | Read DTCs and refer to DTC Index for EGR valve tests |
| Engine hesitates/poor acceleration | EGR valve stuck open | Read DTCs and refer to DTC Index for EGR valve tests |
| Poor throttle response | Breather system disconnected/restricted | Ensure the engine breather system is free from restriction and is correctly installed |
| Excessive fuel consumption Excessive black smoke Excessive emissions | EGR valve stuck open EGR system not operating Engine breather system restricted | Read DTCs and refer to DTC Index for EGR system tests Ensure the engine breather system is free from restriction and is correctly installed |
| Loud 'ticking' noise with engine running | EGR pipes cracked | Inspect the EGR pipes, paying particular attention to the ribbed sections. Replace as necessary |
| Engine oil leaks | Engine breather system restricted | Ensure the engine breather system is free from restriction and is correctly installed |
DTC Index
| CAUTION | When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit, part number 3548-1358-00. |
Note. Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only five digit codes. Match the five digits from the scan tool to the first five digits of the seven digit code listed to identify the fault (the last two digits give extra information read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).
Note. When performing electrical voltage or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to three decimal places, and with an up-to-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the DMM leads into account.
Note. Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
Note. If DTCs are recorded and, after the pinpoint tests have been carried out, the fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.
| DTC | Description | Possible Causes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| P040100 | EGR flow insufficient | EGR valve incorrectly installed or loose EGR valve stuck closed, blocked EGR valve mechanical failure EGR pipe blocked | Check the installation and for restriction/mechanical failure of the EGR valve.
