125000737 - Z57 UPSTREAM LAMBDA SENSOR SIGNAL ERROR

The diagnostic equipment signals the following error: Upstream Lambda signal (slow)
Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or Examiner Plus) and record the errors and environmental parameters.Check for the ''Upstream Lambda signal (slow)'' error onlyEnd of diagnosisThe Upstream Lambda signal error is presentContinue according to the instructions inSee table    See table Z56 UPSTREAM LAMBDA SENSOR SIGNAL ERROR
Only the Upstream Lambda signal (slow), Mixture strength, Misfire, Catalyzer and/or Downstream Lambda signal errors are presentContinue to Step 1
Other errors are presentIdentify and eliminate the cause of the problem.Continue to Step 3
1SENSOR CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation

Visually inspect:

  • The installation of the sensors;
  • That the terminals are not corroded;
  • That the wiring between the sensor and the ECU is not faulty
Continue to Step 2Lambda sensors fitted incorrectlyFit the Lambda sensors correctlyContinue to Step 3
Terminals corrodedReplace faulty componentsContinue to Step 3
Wiring faultyRestore correct connections. If necessary, replace the faulty components See    See E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT.Continue to Step 3
2REPLACING UPSTREAM LAMBDA SENSORSAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the upstream Lambda sensors.Search for the cause of the pollution in the sensors.

The probable causes are:

  • Contaminated petrol;
  • Engine oil leaks;
  • Improper use of fastenings at sensor connector
Continue to Step 3Use of contaminated petrolClean the tank Op. 1040A24and introduce suitable quality fuel.Continue to Step 3
Engine oil leaks detectedContinue according to the instructions inSee table    See table X12 ENGINE OIL LEAKS
3ERROR CANCELLING AND CHECKINGAll OKProblems metOperation
Use a tester to cancel the errors in the control unit.Carry out a road test and ensure the error does not recur.Continue to Step 4The fault persists, it is the first time that this step has been reached and the Lambda sensor has not yet been replaced
The fault persists, but it is the second time that this step has been reached or the Lambda sensor has already been replacedContact Technical Service for further information on the problem
4CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosis.
