Lambda learnt value at idling speed (additive) before catalytic converter

-10.0...10.0 %

=> Page 01-129

    1)    Readings will only be displayed after driving for some time at part throttle and reducing engine rpm to idling speed several times.

Note:

"Multiplicative" means that the fault will have an effect across the whole range of engine speeds and engine loads.

"Additive" means that the fault will only have an effect at idling speed.

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 24-88

- Activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 permanently open

- Check activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 => Page 01-72, Final control diagnosis

- Lambda probe heating defective or Lambda probe soiled

- Check Lambda probe heating before catalytic converter

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 24-88

- Unmetered air at exhaust manifold gasket

- Lambda probe heating defective or Lambda probe soiled

- Check Lambda probe heating before catalytic converter

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 01-19.

Outside tolerance range

- 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.
