=> Page 01-118

Notes on display zones 1 and 2:

    Low values indicate that the engine is running too rich and therefore the Lambda regulation is leaning the mixture.

  • ◆ High values indicate that the engine is running too lean and therefore the Lambda regulation enriches the mixture.
  • ◆ If there is no voltage supply to the control unit all the values learnt will be cancelled.
  • ◆ add = additive - The effects of the fault (e.g. unmetered air) will reduce as the engine speed increases. The injection period will be modified by a fixed amount for additive learnt values. This amount is not dependent upon the basic injection period.
  • ◆ mul = multiplicative - The effects of the fault (e.g. faulty injector) will increase as the engine speed increases. A multiplicative learnt value is a proportional change to the injection period. This change is dependent on the basic injection period.
  • ◆ Learning conditions for part load: coolant temperature min. 75 °C, intake air temperature max. 90 °C, whilst driving.

Evaluating display zone 32, display zones 1 and 2 - Lambda learnt values

Appears on display

Possible fault cause

Fault elimination

Low Lambda learnt values

- Low learnt values at idling but with normal learnt values at part throttle: possible oil dilution (high level of fuel in oil)

- Disappears after motorway drive or oil change

- Injector leaking

- Check injector

- Fuel pressure too high

- Check fuel pressure regulator and holding pressure => Page 24-81

- Activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 permanently open

- Check activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 => Page , Final control diagnosis

- Lambda probe heating defective or Lambda probe soiled

- Check Lambda probe heating before catalyst

Appears on display

Possible fault cause

Fault elimination

High Lambda learnt values

- High learnt values at idling speed, not so high learnt values at part throttle: possible unmetered air in area of intake manifold

- Check intake air system for leaks

- Unmetered air between air filter and throttle valve

- Eliminate cause

- Injector blocked

- Check quantity injected rate

- Fuel pressure too low

- Check fuel pressure regulator and holding pressure => Page 24-81

- Unmetered air at exhaust manifold gasket

- Lambda probe heating defective or Lambda probe soiled

- Check Lambda probe heating before catalyst

Notes on display zone 1:

  • ◆ The display must fluctuate around 0. If constant 0 is displayed, the Lambda regulation has switched from regulation to control, because there is a fault in the Lambda regulation. Interrogate fault memory => Page 01-16 .

- Minus range: Mixture too rich, Lambda control weakens mixture
- Positive range: Mixture too lean, Lambda control enriches mixture

- Wait 30 seconds until the display has stabilised

Note on display zone 3 and 4:

The cycle duration of the lambda probe indicates the time between two voltage pulses (e.g. rich - lean - rich). It is therefore a means of evaluating lambda probe ageing (i.e. the condition of the lambda probe). If the indicated cycle duration is exceeded, "B1-P1 n. OK" will appear in display zone 4.
