Note:

 

Before adjusting the idle speed and thus reprogramming the fixed values, it is useful if the amount that the engine speed is going to be increased or decreased is known, as once adjustment is completed, communication is broken off and has to be re - established from scratch. If the newly programmed idle speed does not then suit the requirements, the whole procedure has to be repeated.

 

It is simpler to first establish the desired idle speed increase or decrease using the "engine speed" test described in "F8: ECU control", and then program this fixed value using the adjustment procedure described below.

 

 

Ignition ON

 

 

Engine OFF

 

 

Press key F 6 in the main menu, select the desired test using the arrow keys and confirm with YES. Follow the instructions in the TECH 1 display.

 

 

If programming is commenced while the engine is running, the two TECH 1 displays on the right will appear immediately after one another, requesting that the mechanic perform the same actions twice.

STOP ENGINE

TURN OFF

IGNITION

The two displays appear for the first time before programming, to ensure that the programming is performed with the engine OFF. The displays appear for the second time after programming, which only lasts for a few milliseconds, to reinitialize the system. If communication between TECH 1 and the control unit is interrupted between the two displays, the ignition should be switched on again immediately.

 

 

 

TURN ON

IGNITION

Note:

 

It is possible to change the idle speed in the range from 704 to 1008 rpm using the arrow keys:

 

·   Arrow key up: engine speed increases in steps of 16 rpm

 

·   Arrow key down: engine speed decreases in steps of 16 rpm

 

The set idle speed is confirmed with "ENTER".

 

When the ignition is switched off and on again after programming, the new idle speed is stored in the EEPROM.

 

 

If the display on the right appears after programming is completed, the programming was successful. The engine should then be started and the relevant data list parameter (engine speed) selected at idle speed. The displayed idle speed must correspond to the adjusted value.

 

MIN. DESIRED IDLE

UPDATE

SUCCESSFUL!

If, however, the display on the right appears after programming, a fault has occurred during programming.

The following measures should be carried out consecutively:

·   Read out trouble codes

MIN. DESIRED IDLE

UPDATE

FAILED!

·   Repeat programming

 

·   Perform TECH 1 self - test

 

·   Check TECH 1 cable for damaged insulation and shielding

 

·   Repeat programming with new control unit
