Notes on display zone 1:

  • ◆ The coolant temperature sender is a temperature-sensitive resistor. If the sender signal is biased, for example due to moisture in a connector (effect similar to parallel resistor), this biasing may be in a range which the fault memory is still not able to detect.
  • ◆ If a fault has been stored relating to the coolant temperature sender, a coolant temperature of 20 °C is displayed in the measured value block when the engine is started. It will go up by 10°C for every minute of engine operation. The maximum substitute value is 85°C.

Notes on display zone 1:

  • ◆ Do not assess lambda control in either function 04 "Basic setting" or function 08 "Reading measured value block" until after the learning process has been completed successfully (=> Learning demand display).
  • ◆ The lambda control indicates the instantaneous control status. After the learning process has been successfully completed (=> Learning demand display), the values fluctuate around 0.0± 6.0%. If the learning process (display zone 4) has been completed and a value around 0.0 ±6.0% is not attained, observe display group 010, display zone 3 or 4 and check control action of both lambda probes. The display values must intermittently drop below 0.3 V and exceed 0.6 V; if not, check lambda probe heating and lambda probe.
  • ◆ The lambda control stop must also be assessed only after the learning process has been completed successfully (=> Learning demand display):
    Control stop max. +32%
    Control stop min. - 87.5%
  • ◆ Values of more than ±20 % in function 04 "Basic setting" may be due to the following faults:
    - Unmetered air
    - Engine damage (e.g. oil combustion because of defective piston)

Notes on display zone 2:

  • ◆ The instantaneous learning range (load status) is displayed in zone 2 (learning range display). Only idling speed and part throttle learning ranges are displayed, as learning does not take place at full throttle.
  • ◆ The following procedure must be implemented to reach the corresponding learning range (load status):
    - Idling speed learning range: Allow vehicle to idle (650... 900 rpm).
    - Part throttle 1, 2, 3 learning range: Perform a test drive (observe safety precautions => Page 01-2);
        in doing so increase engine speed to 1500... 3000 rpm and generate load by pressing the brake gently.

Notes on display zone 3:

  • ◆ The lambda learning diagnosis shows which lambda learned value was checked in the learning process.
  • ◆ On completion of diagnosis, the corresponding value is set to "1", regardless of whether the diagnosis was found to be OK or not.
  • ◆ If the lambda learning demand diagnosis value in display zone 3 is set to "1", but the corresponding lambda learning demand display (display zone 4) is not set to "1", diagnosis has been performed but found not to be OK.
  • ◆ The lambda learning demand diagnosis is always reset to "0" on starting with a coolant temperature of less than 40 °C.

Notes on display zone 4:

  • ◆ Display zone 4 (learning demand display) shows the learning range (display zone 2) in which there is a demand for learning.
  • ◆ Learnign requirements:
    - No fault stored in fault memory
    - Engine speed at idle (650... 900 rpm or 1500 ... 3000 rpm
    - Coolant temperature 80... 110°C
    If these requirements are met, but learning still does not start immediately, give a burst of throttle.
  • ◆ Learning is prohibited:
    - With rough idling (hunting), during acceleration, and at full throttle
    - If faults have been stored in the fault memory (does not apply to sporadic faults)
    - If the difference between the richest and the leanest lambda learned value of a display group is 9%. Learning in both learning ranges is discontinued in the event of a 9% difference. The learning demand display for these learning ranges cannot be "1"=> Display group 005 or 006 .
  • ◆ Learning commences 20 seconds after start of function 04 "Basic setting", or 2... 4 minutes after every start with a coolant temperature of less than 40°C.

Notes on display zone 4 - continued:

  • ◆ The following list indicates the conditions under which the re-learn prompt (learning demand) is enforced:
    - On starting function 04 "Basic setting" with V.A.G 1551 or whenever fault memory has been erased, all learning demand displays are set to "0" in order to force a re-learn prompt for the lambda learned values after vehicle servicing.
    - A learning demand is always enforced in all learning ranges whenever the engine is started with the coolant temperature lower than 40 °C .
    - All learning demand displays are set to "0" again if a major learned value deviation (between a stored learned value and a newly learned value) occurs in a learning range during the learning process.
  • ◆ If learning is successful, the learning demand values of the respective learning range (display zone 2) are set to "1".
  • ◆ Significance of the 8-digit learning demand display:    0 = re-learn prompt
        1 = learning process completed

Lambda control (bank 1) => Display group 007, display zone 1

Note on display zones 1 and 2:

Do not assess lambda control in either function 04 "Basic setting" or function 08 "Reading measured value block" until after the learning process has been completed successfully (=> Display group 007 or 008, display zone 4).

Notes on display zone 3:

  • ◆ ACF solenoid 1 -N80 is closed during learning process.
  • ◆ The influence of ACF can be assessed by comparing the display value in function 04 "Basic setting" (ACF valve closed: 99%) and function 08 "Reading measured value block" (ACF valve open: 0%).

Notes on display zones 3 and 4:

  • ◆ The voltage signal for "Rich mixture (little residual oxygen)" is between about 0.6 and 1.0 V.
  • ◆ The voltage signal for "Lean mixture (high level of residual oxygen)" is between about 0.0 and 0.3 V.
  • ◆ During the transition from "rich" to "lean" and vice versa (λ = 1.0), there is a voltage jump from 0.6...1.0 V
    to 0.0...0.3 V or vice versa.

Notes on display zones 3 and 4 continued:

  • ◆ Because of the sharp voltage jump the lambda control cannot maintain a constant ideal mixture composition of λ = 1.0. The system fluctuates continuously between "slightly too lean" and "slightly too rich".
  • ◆ The display value must intermittently drop below 0.3 V and exceed 0.6 V. Display values less than 0.45 V indicate "lean", whilst values over 0.45 V indicate "rich".

→ Lambda probe voltage Uλ in mV

A: High lambda probe voltage

  • ◆ Rich mixture (excess fuel or lack of air)
  • ◆ High CO value

B: Low lambda probe voltage

  • ◆ Lean mixture (lack of fuel or excess air)
  • ◆ Low CO value
