184000415 - D04 ENGINE NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY

There are decreases in performance during acceleration
Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

Check, in order:

  • the condition of the air intake circuit
  • that there are no faults in the air filter
  • whether the diesel pipes are leaking
  • the accelerator pedal travel
  • that there is no water, petrol, paraffin or dirt in the fuel tank and filter
  • that there no obstructions in the exhaust system
Continue to Step 1Fault in air intake circuitRepair the air intake circuit
Air filter blockedReplace the filter element
Leak from diesel pipesstop the leak
Accelerator pedal travel incompleteEliminate the cause of the problem
Presence of water, petrol, paraffin or dirt detectedClean the tank and pipes and replace the filter element
Obstruction in the exhaust systemReplace the damaged system component
1CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket

check

  • for errors in the control unit
  • plausibility of all the parameters
Continue to Step 2An error is detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
unreliable parametersContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2CHECK FLOW METERAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the condition of the flow meter and the pipes connected to itContinue to Step 3Pipes damagedRepair the pipe; if necessary replace it
3CHECK EGR AND ADJUST TURBOCHARGERAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket.Carry out active diagnosis of EGR solenoid valveCarry out active diagnosis of the turbocharger regulator solenoid valveCheck operation of the variable geometry control actuator See Test 1064BC Variable geometry turbocharger actuator leakage test Continue to Step 4EGR solenoid valve not workingCheck the continuity of the wiring See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT , if necessary, replae the solenoid valve Op. 1080C74
Turbocharger solenoid valve not workingCheck the continuity of the wiring See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT , if necessary, replae the solenoid valve Op. 1064A28
Actuator does not work correctlyCheck the condition of the vacuum circuit and, if necessary, replace the damaged components
4THROTTLE SOLENOID VALVE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check it is working properly. without sticking or intermediate stops. for the solenoid valve.(This can be done by removing the valve from its position and releasing it from the pipes, leaving the electrical connection, however, in place; at this point, operate the active diagnosis stage using the EXAMINER to check that it is working properly)Continue to Step 5Solenoid valve damagedRepair the solenoid valve and, if necessary, replace it Op. 1060G72
5ROAD TEST WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Road test the vehicle, reproducing the conditions in which the fault arises, keeping the diagnostic equipment connected.

Check:

  • for errors in the control unit
  • plausibility of all the parameters
Continue to Step 6An error is detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Unreliable parametersContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Lack of dialogue with the control unitRestore the connection between the engine management control unit and the diagnostic connector.
6CHECK ON TURBOCHARGERAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the turbocharger as described in the Test See Test 1064BA Check turbo presure Continue to Step 7Turbocharger faultyReplace the turbocharger unit
7PRESSURE SENSOR CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the sensor is working properly: after the engine has reached operating temperature, make sure that, with the engine IDLING and pressure regulator duty cycle operation between 16 and 20%, the minimum pressure measured by the sensor is around 300 bar +/-5%Continue to Step 8Pressure sensor faultyReplace the pressure sensor
8Continue as instructed by the testerAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer present End of diagnosisFault persists: control unit faultyReplace control unit Op. 1060G80
