P2010 - FLOW SHUTTER VALVE

1.9 JTD 16V, 2.4 JTD 20V

The diagnostic equipment signals: Error P2010 (flow valve).

This error is detected if the temperature of the electronic control module detected is not within the planned limits for at least 0.28 secs.

1Check for break in electrical power supply circuitALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Press the START/STOP button and turn off the engine.

Disconnect the cable loom connector from the flow modifying solenoid valve

See L064 FLOW MODIFYING SOLENOID VALVE

Press the START/STOP button.

Measure the voltage between Pin 1 (wiring side) of the solenoid valve and earth, checking that it is more than 11 V

See L064 FLOW MODIFYING SOLENOID VALVE

Move on to Step 2Voltage lower than 11 VMove on to Step 6
2Check insulation to +Vbatt of signal electrical circuitALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Press the START/STOP button.

Disconnect the cable loom connector from Connector B of the engine management control unit

See M010 ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU

Press the START/STOP button.

Measure the voltage between Pin 2 (wiring side) of the solenoid valve and earth, checking that it is less than 0.3 V

See L064 FLOW MODIFYING SOLENOID VALVE

Move on to Step 3Short circuit to +Vbatt between flow valve and engine management control unit

Restore correct electrical connections.

Replace the wiring if necessary

3Check insulation to earth of signal electrical circuitALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Press the START/STOP button.

Measure the resistance between Pin 2 (wiring side) of the solenoid valve and earth, checking that it is more than 500 kOhm

See L064 FLOW MODIFYING SOLENOID VALVE

Move on to Step 4Short circuit to earth between flow valve and engine management control unit

Restore correct electrical connections.

Replace the wiring if necessary

4Check on continuity of signal electrical circuitALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Measure the resistance between Pin 2 (wiring side) of the solenoid valve and Pin 6 (wiring side) of Connector B of the junction unit, checking that it is less than 5 Ohm

See L064 FLOW MODIFYING SOLENOID VALVE

See M010 ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU

Move on to Step 5Open circuit between flow valve and engine management control unit

Restore correct electrical connections.

Replace the wiring if necessary

5Replacement of flow valveALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Replace the flow valve and check that the problem disappears

Op. 1060E20

End of diagnosisThe fault persists

Restore the original solenoid valve and replace the engine management control unit

Op. 1060G80 DIESEL ELECTRONIC INJECTION CONTROL UNIT - .R

6Check for break in electrical power supply circuitALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Press the START/STOP button.

Disconnect the cable loom connector from Connector A of the engine management control unit.

See M010 ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU

Extract the relay T9 from the socket in the engine compartment junction unit.

See B001 JUNCTION UNIT

Connect a bridge with a fuse to Pins 87 and 30 of the socket for relay T9.

Measure the voltage between Pin 72 Connector A (wiring side) of the control unit and earth, checking that it is more than 11 V

See M010 ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU

Move on to Step 7Open circuit between engine compartment junction unit and engine management control unit

Restore correct electrical connections.

Replace the wiring if necessary

7Restore electrical connectionsALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

If the wiring between the control unit and the solenoid valve is faulty, restore the correct connections

See M010 ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU

See L064 FLOW MODIFYING SOLENOID VALVE

End of diagnosisThe wiring is not faulty

Replace the engine management control unit
