0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the tester (Examiner or Examiner Plus) and transcribe the errors and environmental parametersCheck for the 'Upstream Lambda signal (slow)' error onlyEnd of diagnosis'Upstream lambda probe' error presentSee table   Z56 
Only the 'Upstream Lambda signal (slow)', 'Mixture strength', 'Misfire', 'Catalyzer' and/or 'Downstream Lambda signal' errors are presentContinue to Step 1
Other errors presentIdentify and eliminate the cause of the anomaly.Continue to Step 3
1SENSOR CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation

Visually inspect:

  • the fitting of the sensor;
  • that the terminals are not corroded;
  • that the wiring between the sensor and the ECU is not faulty.
Continue to Step 2Wiring faultyFit the Lambda sensor correctly Op.   1080B60  Continue to Step 3
Wiring faultyReplace faulty componentsContinue to Step 3
Wiring faultyRestore correct connections. If necessary, replace the faulty components See   E5030  PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT Continue to Step 3
2REPLACING UPSTREAM LAMBDA SENSORAll OKProblems metOperation
Replace the upstream Lambda sensor Op.   1080B60  Search for the cause of the pollution in the sensor.

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 detectedSee table X12
3DELETING AND CHECKING ERRORAll OKProblems metOperation
Use a tester to cancel the errors in the control unit.Carry out a road test and ensure the error does not recurContinue to Step 4The fault persists, but it is the second time that this step has been reached or the Lambda sensor has already been replacedContinue to Step 0
The fault persists, but it is the second time that this step has been reached or the Lambda sensor has already been replacedContact Technical Support for further information on the problem
4CHECKING CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
