Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

Preliminarily check:

  • Whether there is service information on the subject
  • The condition of the air intake circuit
  • Spark plugs
Continue to Step 1Air intake circuit faultRestore the correct operation of the intake circuit
Spark plugs not the type recommended by the manufacturerReplace the spark plugs Op.    Op. 5510D10 SPARK PLUGS - R+R
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Connect the diagnostic test equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the tester input.

Check:

  • That there are no faults in the engine management control unit;
  • Parameter plausibility
Move on to Step 2 1Presence of errorsContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Parameter not consistentContinue as instructed by the Tester and analyse the facors that could give to the inconsistencies.
2ROAD TEST USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Carry out a road test reproducing the conditions in which the fault occurs, keeping the diagnostic equipment connected.

Check:

  • that there are no faults in the control unit;
  • Parameter plausibility, particularly:
  • Rail pressure setting
  • Air mass
  • Engine temperature.
  • Upstream lambda sensor voltage
Move on to Step 3 1The sudden onset of an error in the control unit is detectedContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Parameter not consistentContinue as instructed by the Tester and analyse the facors that could give to the inconsistencies.
3LOW PRESSURE CIRCUIT CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Move on to Step 4 1Pressure not correct: obstructions in the fuel supply pipeRemove the obstructions in the fuel pipe, replace it if necessary
Pressure not correct: tank not sufficiently ventilatedRestore the tank ventilation
Pressure not correct: petrol pump damaged or not correctly suppliedReplace the petrol pump assembly Op.    Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GUAGE CONTROL - R + R
4RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check the operation of the pressure sensor on the railMove on to Step 5 1Pressure sensor faultReplace the sensor Op. 1056F54
5PRESSURE REGULATOR CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the voltage regulator is workingContinue to Step 6Pressure regulator faultyReplace the pressure regulator Op. 1056F52
6HIGH PRESSURE PUMP CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check high pressure pump operationMove on to Step 7 1High pressure pump faultReplace high pressure pump Op. 1056F72
7INJECTOR CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check continuity/insulation of injector wiring. In particular, check injector pilot signal is present. See    See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENTMove on to Step 8 1Signal not present, wiring brokenRestore wiring See    See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
Signal not present, wiring not brokenReplace the engine management control unit Op. 1056F82
8CHECK VARIABLE VALVE TIMING IN ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC MODEAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check variable valve timing operation when in active diagnostic modeMove on to Step 9 1Not operationalUse a voltmeter (preferably graphic) to check the vvt control signal. If necessary, replace the vvt Op.    Op. 1036C40 TIMING VARIATOR ON INLET CAMSHAFT IN CYLINDER HEAD R + R WITH SHAFT REMOVED
9CHECK MODULAR MANIFOLD IN ACTIVE DIAGNOSIS MODEAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check the operation of the modular manifold in active diagnosis modeMove on to Step 10 1Not operationalUse a voltmeter (preferably graphic) to check the modular manifold control signal. Replace the modular manifold solenoid if necessary Op. 1072D44
10CHECK IGNITION OPERATIONAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check continuity/insulation of coil supply and control circuit. In particular, check coil pilot signal is present. See    See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENTMove on to Step 11 1Supply/earth not presentRestore wiring See    See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
Control signal missingCheck wiring from coil to ECU. If necessary, replace control unit Op 1056F82
11TIMING CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the valve gear timing is correctly adjusted Op.    Op. 0510A20 TIMING GEAR WITH BELT DRIVE - CHECK - CARRY OUT OPERATION WITH CAM COVER(S) REMOVED AND TAPPETS ADJUSTEDMove on to Step 12 1Timing not correctAdjust valve gear timing Op.    Op. 1032B10 TOOTHED TIMING BELT - R + R FOR TIMING ADJUSTMENT OR REPLACEMENT
12CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosis.
