AIR INTAKE/VACUUM CIRCUIT CHECK
| CHECK TO BE PERFORMED | RESOLUTION IF THE CHECK IS NOT OK | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check the vacuum supply system components/functions: in particular, check for leaks or blockages. Check the seal of the secondary air inlet/turborcharging system hoses. Also check for any obstructions or porosity. Check for leaks in the intercooler. Check that the pipe restriction bands in the air intake/inlet system are correctly fitted. Check the hoses and connected pipes to identify any obstructions, damage etc. Check that the debimeter is not contaminated. Check the exhaust gas turbocharger and exhaust system components/functions | If possible, renew the pipes. Otherwise replace the faulty components |
| 2 | Check that the air filter is not contaminated | Replace the filter element |
| 3 | Check that the air filter is correctly fitted | Refit correctly |
| 4 | Turn the ignition key OFF. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vacuum pump Connect a pressure gauge between the vacuum pump and the hose (see following figure). Start the engine, adjust to idle speed and check that the reading on the pressure gauge is -0.7 and 1.0 bars | Replace the vacuum unit |
| CHECK TO BE PERFORMED | RESOLUTION IF THE CHECK IS NOT OK | |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Turn the ignition key OFF. Reconnect the hose to the vacuum pump Disconnect the vacuum hose from the turbocharge actuator solenoid (see following figure). Connect the pressure gauge between the solenoid and the hose. Start the engine and adjust to idle speed. Select the following control unit at the diagnostic equipment: Diesel electronic injection control unit EDC16C39 CF4/EOBD CAN (EP engine 1.9). Carry out the following active diagnosis: Turbo regulator, ensuring that it is successful | Replace the solenoid valve Op. 1064B42 SOLENOID CONTROLLING TURBOCHARGER VANE POSITION ACTUATOR - R.R |

|---|---|---|
| 6 | Turn the ignition key OFF. Reconnect the vacuum hose to the turbocharger actuator solenoid. Start the engine and adjust to idle speed. Select the following parameters in the parameter screen: EGR valve opening and measured Air Mass. Set conditions where the EGR valve is open and check that the intake air mass is between 20 and 40 kg/h | Check the exhaust gas recovery solenoid is operating correctly |
| 7 | Then return to idle speed. Set conditions where the EGR valve is closed and in these conditions check that the intake air mass is between 40 and 60 kg/h | Replace the debimeter |

| 4 | Select the following control unit at the diagnostic equipment: Marelli 6F3 Diesel Injection EOBD CAN (EP engine 1.3 JTD) Check the value of the following parameters: - Measured air mass See Test 1060GG CHECK MEASURED AIR MASS - Measured turbo pressure | |
| 5 | Carry out the following active diagnosis: EGR valve control, ensuring that it is successful | Check that the EGR valve is working properly by carrying out the |
