Test results
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
First, check:- the condition of the air intake circuit- correct earth connection of the coils and the engine control unit to the engine block    See E5030 PETROL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT - leads properly connected to batteryMove on to Step 1Air intake circuit faultyRestore the seal on the air intake circuit
Engine control unit earth connection on the engine block is defectiveRestore the correct earth connection
Loose cables to the batteryRestore correct tightening
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket.Check:- that there are no faults in the engine management control unit;- parameter plausibilityMove on to Step 2Error detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions on the diagnostic equipment
Parameter not consistentContinue following the instructions on the diagnostic equipment
2SHUT OFF BYPASS AIR SOLENOID VALVE CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check that the solenoid is working properly by carrying out the    See Test 1064BH CHECK ON OPERATION OF SUPERCHARGING AIR BY-PASS SOLENOID VALVE (SHUT OFF)Move on to Step 3Solenoid valve stuck openReplace the by-pass solenoid valve    Op. 1048B58 TURBOCHARGER AIR BY-PASS VALVE - R.R.
