Note:

  • ◆ Depending on the status of the Lambda regulation, 0 or 1 may appear alternately in the 3-digit block, but the Lambda probe must always be operationally ready.
  • ◆ The 1 set for the Lambda probe heating may sporadically be 0 because the heating is pulsed.

-5.4...5.4 %

=> Page 01-147

Notes on display zones 1 and 2:

  • ◆ The operating range of the Lambda regulation lies between -25...25 %.

    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.

Initiating learning process: Control unit in mode 04, Basic settings

  • ◆ Learning conditions for idling: Idling, coolant temperature min. 70 °C, intake air temperature max. 80 °C
  • ◆ Learning conditions for partial load: coolant temperature min. 70 °C, intake air temperature max. 80 °C

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 24-101

- Activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 permanently open

- Check activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 => Page 01-89, Final control diagnosis

Possible fault cause

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 mass meter and throttle valve

- Rectify cause

- Injector blocked

- Check quantity injected rate

Notes on display zone 1:

  • ◆ The display must at least fluctuate around 0 %. If 0 is constantly displayed, the Lambda regulator has switched from regulation to control because a fault has occurred in the Lambda regulation. Interrogate fault memory => Page 01-16.

Notes on display zone 4:

    When the function 04 "Basic setting" is exited the Lambda regulation is automatically active again.
  • ◆ It is possible to switch between the function 04 "Basic setting" and the function 08 "Read measured value block" by pressing the keys 4 and 8 on V.A.G 1551/1552.
