- In the event of an open circuit: - -N156 does not open, loss of power above 4000 rpm - In the event of a short circuit to earth: - -N156 always open, loss of torque up to 4000 rpm
|
- Check -N156
|
|
|
- Signal output in engine control unit defective (control unit defective)
|
|
- Renew engine control unit .

- Fault in immobilizer system
|
- Engine starts but cuts out again immediately
|
- Interrogate fault memory

|
|
Power supply, term. 15
|
|
|
|
|
Voltage too low
|
Stored if supply voltage is less than 10.0 V for more than 1 second (engine control unit does not function below 6.5 V)
|
|
|
- Poor earth connection to engine control unit
|
- Voltage less than 6 V - Engine will not run
|
- Reading measured value block, display group 001 .
|
|
|
- Battery flat - Current draw with "ignition off" (discharge)
|
|
- Check voltage Check charge
|
Note:
If fault 18008 is shown as a sporadic fault, ignore the fault message on the display. This fault is often stored when the engine is left idling for a long period with a large number of electrical consumers switched on causing the battery to become greatly discharged.

Fault is stored if ▪ The following conditions apply 1 second after starting engine on vehicles with manual gearbox: Engine control unit encoded for automatic gearbox, vehicle speed less that 1 km/h, gear signal "high" during entire period; fault 01119 is stored at the same time ▪ The following conditions apply for more than 1 second, 1 second after the starting the engine on vehicles with automatic gearbox: Engine control unit encoded for manual gearbox, gear signal "low" ▪ The vehicle fitted with traction control system (ASR) is not encoded for ASR and engine control unit receives signal from ABS/ASR control unit
|
|
|
- Engine control unit incorrectly encoded
|
- Engine running problems - Increased emissions - Various faults in fault memory
|
- Encode the control unit
