Checking the intake system

Check the mass air flow (MAF) sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

Check the intake system for leakage. In particular, check the hoses and hose connectors between the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle unit. Check for leakage and damage.

Check the inside of the throttle body (TB). Check for contamination. When the throttle body (TB) is contaminated, the air flow to the engine is impaired and diagnostic trouble code (DTCs) or fault symptoms can occur.

Clean the throttle body (TB) if needed.

If no fault is found, try a new mass air flow (MAF) sensor.

Remedy as necessary.

Checking components, intake system

Check using information about combined diagnostic trouble codes if this trouble code is a root problem or not. If the diagnostic trouble code is stored as lone diagnostic trouble code or if it is indicated as a root problem, continue with the troubleshooting below, otherwise follow troubleshooting for the diagnostic trouble code pointed out as root problem.

ECM-130A can be generated due to a damaged mass air flow sensor. An indication of this is that the engine control system has increased the fuel amount at partial load and then primarily the value for "Lambda adaption, upper partial load". If any of the diagnostic trouble codes ECM-260A, ECM-261A, ECM-270A and/or ECM-271A with trouble type Upper limit is stored together with ECM-130A, troubleshoot according to any of these diagnostic trouble codes, otherwise continue according to the following.

Read off "Air mass, correction value" and check in which way the air adaption has gone. A low value, less than approx. 0.85 indicates a clogged crankcase ventilation and/or dirty throttle module. A higher value, greater than approximately 1.15, indicates a (smaller) air leak somewhere in the intake system.

High value

Check the induction system for air leaks.

Check that the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor and boost pressure sensor are correctly installed. Check for air leakage around the components.

Note. Even extremely small air leaks can cause this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to be stored.

Low value

For markets where upgraded software, released during year 2006 or later, is available, then if ECM-91A7 and/or ECM-91B7 is stored together with ECM-130A, then the throttle module shall be cleaned.

Otherwise, the solution to the diagnostic trouble code/symptom is to load the upgraded software in the vehicle.

For markets where upgraded software, released during year 2006 or later, is not available, the solution is to clean the throttle module and the crankcase ventilation.

See Identifying upgraded software ECM/ETM

CAUTIONIn order for Electronic throttle module (ETM) to reset any reconfigurations as well as delete internally stored problems, the following must be performed: Turn off the ignition and then wait three minutes for the main relay or system relay to release the voltage feed to, among others, Electronic throttle module (ETM). Wait another three minutes, but if the electric cooling fan is running you have to wait another two minutes after the cooling fan has stopped, to ensure that Electronic throttle module (ETM) is shut off correctly. If this is not done correctly, diagnostic trouble codes may remain even after deleting diagnostic trouble codes and any reconfiguration may remain, despite the problem being fixed.

If any of the diagnostic trouble codes ECM-260A, ECM-261A, ECM-270A and/or ECM-271A with trouble type Upper limit is stored together with ECM-130A, troubleshoot according to any of these diagnostic trouble codes, otherwise continue according to the following.

Read off "Air mass, correction value" and check in which way the air adaption has gone. A low value, less than approx. 0.85 indicates a clogged crankcase ventilation and/or dirty throttle module. A higher value, greater than approximately 1.15, indicates a (smaller) air leak somewhere in the intake system.

High value

Check the induction system for air leaks.

Check that the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor and boost pressure sensor are correctly installed. Check for air leakage around the components.

Note. Even extremely small air leaks can cause this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to be stored.

Low value

For markets where upgraded software, released during year 2006 or later, is available, then if ECM-91A7 and/or ECM-91B7 is stored together with ECM-130A, then the throttle module shall be cleaned.

Otherwise, the solution to the diagnostic trouble code/symptom is to load the upgraded software in the vehicle.

For markets where upgraded software, released during year 2006 or later, is not available, the solution is to clean the throttle module and the crankcase ventilation.

CAUTIONIn order for Electronic throttle module (ETM) to reset any reconfigurations as well as delete internally stored problems, the following must be performed: Turn off the ignition and then wait three minutes for the main relay or system relay to release the voltage feed to, among others, Electronic throttle module (ETM). Wait another three minutes, but if the electric cooling fan is running you have to wait another two minutes after the cooling fan has stopped, to ensure that Electronic throttle module (ETM) is shut off correctly. If this is not done correctly, diagnostic trouble codes may remain even after deleting diagnostic trouble codes and any reconfiguration may remain, despite the problem being fixed.

HINT: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.

  1. Ignition off
  2. Reconnect the connectors, reinstall components etc.
  3. Test drive the vehicle on the road. Run a TRIP schedule so that the engine control module (ECM) compares the diagnostics. To run a TRIP schedule, see: «Verifying repairs»(ref-440264-S06906222842011121400000)
  4. Connect VCT2000 to the data link connector (DLC) without switching off the engine. NOTE: If the engine is switched off, the stored fault status will be erased and the test drive will have to be repeated. Read off the diagnostic status and fault status for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by selecting the relevant diagnostic trouble code (DTC) from the list. Check the fault status for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) when the diagnostic is "Complete". If the function is correct, the fault status must be "No fault found" when the diagnostic is complete.

Is the function OK?

  1. YES VERIFIED: Troubleshooting has been completed.
  2. NO Refer to «Information»(ref-440262-S33577559432011121400000)

The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.

Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
