- Large amount of fuel from the activated charcoal filter system

- Check activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 => Page 01-41 , Final control diagnosis

- Incorrect injectors with greater throughput installed

- Check injection rate => Page 24-64

Larger than 5.5 ms

- Increased engine load due to electrical consumers, air conditioner, gear selected or P.A.S. on full lock

- Eliminate increased load (air conditioner, power assisted steering etc.)

Evaluating display group 2, display zone 4 - Air mass drawn in

Appears on display

Possible fault cause

Fault elimination

Less than 2.0 g/s

- Large amount of unmetered air between intake manifold and air mass meter

- Rectify unmetered air

More than 5.0 g/s

- Gear selected (automatic gearbox)

- Place selector lever in P or N

- Engine loaded due to ancillaries

- Eliminate load (air conditioner, power assisted steering etc.)

Note on display zone 4:

  • ◆ Displayed is the air mass measured by the air mass meter.
  • ◆ In emergency running caused by a fault on the throttle valve control part the engine runs without idling stabilisation at an increased idling speed (approx. 1000...1300 rpm) via the emergency running gap. In this case the air throughput is approx. 4.5...5.5 g/s.
  • ◆ The replacement value in g/s from throttle valve potentiometer will be displayed if the engine control unit detects a fault on the air mass meter.

Note on display zone 3:

The engine control unit will use the intake air temperature as a replacement value for an engine start (start temperature - replacement value) as soon as there is a fault stored in the fault memory, which affects the coolant temperature sender (G62). The temperature then rises according to a model stored in the control unit. When the engine has reached normal working temperature a fixed replacement value will be displayed after a certain period. This fixed value is also dependent upon the intake air temperature.

Note on display zone 4:

The total temperature range is given as the specification. The displayed value must be above ambient temperature.

Evaluating display group 4, display zone 2 - Control unit voltage supply

Appears on display

Possible fault cause

Fault elimination

Less than 12.0 V

- Alternator defective, battery charge state low

- Check alternator and battery voltage, charge battery:
=> Binder Electrical system

- Battery heavily loaded shortly after starting due to high charging current and current consumers

- Increase revs slightly for a few minutes and switch off current consumers

- Transfer resistance in the current supply or the engine control unit earth connection

- Check engine control unit voltage supply => Page 24-109

- Current draw when ignition is off

- Eliminate current draw

More than 14.5 V

- Voltage regulator on alternator defective

- Check voltage, replace regulator if necessary
=> Binder Electrical system

- Excess voltage due to jump starting or quick charging unit

- Interrogate fault memory => Page 01-14

- Engine too cold

- If necessary carry out test drive

- Coolant temperature sender or wiring to engine control unit

- Check coolant temperature sender

Larger than 110 °C

- Radiator soiled

- Clean radiator

- Radiator fan not functioning

- Check function
=> Binder Electrical system
