The "ENGINE SPEED " is dependent on various input signals and the control unit programming.

If the actual value is not within the given nominal values, the other sensor signals must be checked first.

Trouble - shooting:Nominal Value:Cause of Fault:

(If nominal value is not attained)

· Check the inductive pulse pick - up signal P 35:

· Ignition OFF

Disconnect the control unit plug

· Measure voltage:

from: control unit plug Ter. A 2

to: ground

less than 0.1 V· Short circuit in wiring harness

from: control unit plug Ter. A 2

to: battery +

from: control unit plug Ter. B 3

to: ground

less than 0.1 V
from: control unit plug Ter. B 3
to: battery +

· Using multimeter, measure resistance:

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 1

to: control unit plug Ter. A 2

less than 2 W· Lead interruption

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 1

to: control unit plug Ter. A 2

· Using multimeter, measure resistance:

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 2

to: control unit plug Ter. B 3

less than 2 W· Lead interruption

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 2

to: control unit plug Ter. B 3

· Using multimeter, measure resistance:

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 1 and 2

to: ground

greater than 100 kW· Short circuit in wiring harness

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 1 or 2

to: ground

· Using multimeter, measure resistance:

from: wiring harness plug P 35 Ter. 3

to: control unit plug Ter. A 12

less than 2 W· Lead interruption in shielding
· Further fault possibilities:· Defective inductive pulse pick - up

· Burrs on increment disc (58 - toothed segment disc)

· Gap between inductive pulse pick - up and increment disc incorrect.

See service literature.

· Connect control unit wiring harness plug

· Connect pulse pick - up plug P 35.

· Engine running at idle speed, operating temperature

· Select TECH 1 mode "F8", increase and decrease idle speed with the arrow keys.

Engine speed increases and decreases· Carry out test step 04.
· Idle speed too high or uneven.· Loose contact in throttle valve potentiometer

· Throttle shaft out of alignment

· Throttle valve gap too large or too small, (basic setting: alter only in case of emergency, see Service Instructions).

· Exhaust gas recirculation valve mechanically blocked

· Fault in evaporation control system

· Engine takes in dead air.

· Idle speed regulator seat soiled.

· Spark plugs defective

· Mixture too lean or too rich (see test step 10).

· Battery voltage too high / low

· Odometer frequency sensor / instrument defective or circuit interrupted.
