Emergency system (Recovery)

Automatic diagnosis aims to detect faults in the following components:

When a fault is detected, a warning light lights up on the dashboard and, in the case of certain faults, the number of engine revs falls.

In the case of sensor failure, the system implements signal reconstruction strategies (recovery) in order to ensure engine and catalytic converter operation at an acceptable level without affecting function.

Under these conditions, the vehicle may be driven to a service centre for repairs.

The warning light goes out when the fault is removed.

The system temporarily memorises faults within the control unit in order to facilitate service operations.

Diagnosing with the FIAT/LANCIA TESTER

Socket (6) for bi-directional diagnosis on the connector of electronic control unit (5) is used for connection of the F.L.T.

The TESTER must be connected to the ECU as follows:

1. Connect the Fiat-Lancia Tester to adaptor «ADAPTER ADT 101 A»
2. Supply TESTER via cigar-lighter socket (7), or by connecting directly to the battery (a special alternative lead is provided for this purpose).
3. Connect the TESTER socket to the ECU socket (socket always located in engine bay).

The instrument is able to supply the following information:

• Engine parameter display
• Error display
• Active diagnosis
