P2010 - FLOW SHUTTER VALVE
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.
| 1 | Check for break in electrical power supply circuit | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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 | Move on to Step 2 | Voltage lower than 11 V | Move on to Step 6 | |
| 2 | Check insulation to +Vbatt of signal electrical circuit | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
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 | Move on to Step 3 | Short circuit to +Vbatt between flow valve and engine management control unit | Restore correct electrical connections. Replace the wiring if necessary | |
| 3 | Check insulation to earth of signal electrical circuit | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
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 | Move on to Step 4 | Short circuit to earth between flow valve and engine management control unit | Restore correct electrical connections. Replace the wiring if necessary | |
| 4 | Check on continuity of signal electrical circuit | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
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 | Move on to Step 5 | Open circuit between flow valve and engine management control unit | Restore correct electrical connections. Replace the wiring if necessary | |
| 5 | Replacement of flow valve | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
Replace the flow valve and check that the problem disappears Op. 1060E20 | End of diagnosis | The fault persists | Restore the original solenoid valve and replace the engine management control unit | |
| 6 | Check for break in electrical power supply circuit | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
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. 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 | Move on to Step 7 | Open circuit between engine compartment junction unit and engine management control unit | Restore correct electrical connections. Replace the wiring if necessary | |
| 7 | Restore electrical connections | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
If the wiring between the control unit and the solenoid valve is faulty, restore the correct connections | End of diagnosis | The wiring is not faulty | Replace the engine management control unit |
