Additional heater final control diagnosis

Notes:

  • ◆ Fitting locations of components actuated
  • ◆ If final control diagnosis is to be repeated, terminate and re-start self-diagnosis.
  • ◆ Each component is actuated for a specific time. This can be prematurely terminated using the ⇒key. At the same time this causes the next component to be selected.
  • ◆ After the allowed time limit has expired, the next component must be selected using the ⇒key.

Starting final control diagnosis

 
A87-0314
  • ‒ Connect the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 to the vehicle's 16-pin diagnostic socket using the diagnostic cable VAS 5051/1, with ignition switched off and select the control unit of the additional heater -J162 using "address word" 18.

→ Display on VAS 5051:

 
A87-0314
  • ‒ Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers.
  • ‒ With the "Address word" 18 select the additional heater => Page 01-14
  • ‒ Interrogate fault memory => Page 01-24.

→ Display on VAS 5051:

Notes:

To measure the current consumption of -Q8 glow plug with flame detector

  • ‒ Connect clip-on ammeter (e.g. of multimeter V.A.G 1715) via positive connection of battery -A.
  • ‒ Set the measuring instrument to current measurement with clip-on ammeter (measuring range 0-10 A).

  • ‒ Select function "03 - Final control diagnosis".
 
A87-0317

→ Display on VAS 5051:

  • ◆ Display zone -1- displays which control element is currently being actuated (e.g. 1st control element in the test).
  • ◆ The control elements which are currently actuated or have been actuated are listed in display zone -2-. The control element which is currently actuated is in the bottom line.
  • ‒ Press the ⇒key to switch to the next component. Function and sequence =>Table of final controls actuated, Page 01-44

Notes:

  • ◆ By pressing the ←key you will return to the selection program.
  • ◆ Final control diagnosis can be terminated by pressing the C key.
  • ◆ Interrogating fault memory on completion of final control diagnosis => Page 01-24
  • ◆ On termination of the final control diagnosis, interrogate the fault memory => Page 01-67

Final controls actuated

Indicated on display

Desired function

Fault remedy

Glow plug with flame detector -Q8

Glow plug actuated for 60 seconds.
Reading on multimeter V.A.G 1715 increases by 4 to 10 A during actuation of -Q8.

- Check wiring between -Q8 and -J162.
Check additional heater electrical components

Press⇒key

Notes:

  • ◆ Any fault at the glow plug with flame detector -Q8 is stored in the fault memory.
  • ◆ The current consumed by the glow plug is restricted by the control unit such that the power at the glow plug is approx. 96 W (current level varies with battery voltage).

Indicated on display

Desired function

Fault remedy

Metering pump -V54

Metering pump actuated for 10 seconds.
Clocking can be heard in the vicinity of metering pump.

- Check wiring between -V54 and -J162.
Check additional heater electrical components

Press⇒key

Notes:

  • ◆ The metering pump is installed on the floor panel in the right rear wheel area.
  • ◆ On vehicles with diesel engines, allowance is made in the on-board computer consumption display for the fuel consumption to the additional heater. This function is implemented by the engine control unit, however, only when the engine is running (metering pump -V54 and engine control unit are connected by a wire).
  • ◆ During actuation of the -V54 metering pump, approx. 4 cm3 of fuel are pumped into the additional heater. If the final control diagnosis is performed several times in sequence, then smoke may develop upon initial operation.

Indicated on display

Desired function

Fault remedy

Combustion air blower -V6

Combustion air blower -V6 actuated for 30 seconds.
Running noise can be heard in vicinity of additional heater.

- Check wiring between -V6 and -J162.
Check additional heater electrical components

Press ⇒key

Final control diagnosis is completed (for additional heaters without recirculating pump).

Notes:

  • ◆ On vehicles without -V55 recirculating pump the control element "-V55 recirculating pump" is displayed, check the coding of the additional heater=> Page 01-61
  • ◆ On vehicles with additional heater without recirculating pump -V55 actuation of -V6 combustion air blower terminates final control diagnosis.
  • ◆ The Audi A2 currently has no -V55 recirculating pump for the additional heater installed.

Indicated on display

Desired function

Fault remedy

Recirculating pump -V55
At present, installation of a recirculating pump is not envisaged

Recirculating pump -V55 actuated for 30 seconds.
Running noise can be heard in vicinity of additional heater.

- Check wiring between -V55 and -J162.
Check additional heater electrical components

Press ⇒key

Control element test is completed

Notes:

  • ◆ If on vehicles without -V55 recirculating pump, the control element "-V55 recirculating pump" is displayed, check the coding of the additional heater=> Page 01-61
  • ◆ On vehicles with additional heater with -V55 recirculating pump actuation of the -V55 recirculating pump terminates final control diagnosis.
  • ◆ The Audi A2 currently has no -V55 recirculating pump for the additional heater installed.

Indicated on display

Desired function

Fault remedy

Fresh air blower actuation signal
Provided for the auxiliary/additional heater version

Air conditioner operating and display unit -E87 starts up for 30 seconds.
Fresh-air blower -V2 is actuated for 30 seconds by -E87.

- Check wiring between -E87 and -J162.
Check additional heater electrical components

Press ⇒key

Control element test is completed

Notes:

  • ◆ If on the Audi A2 the control element "Fresh air blower actuation signal" is displayed, check the coding of the additional heater=> Page 01-61
  • ◆ For the additional heater the signal for actuating the fresh-air blower is not output (additional heater only operates when engine is running).
  • ◆ The signal for fresh air blower actuation is intended for the version with auxiliary heater. At present, it installation of an auxiliary heater in the Audi A2 is not envisaged.
