=> Exhaust emissions test binder

Note on display zone 1:

The idling speed will be increased by the control unit under the following conditions:

  • ◆ When the battery voltage is too low: up by approx. 150 rpm.
  • ◆ After a long full throttle drive and high temperatures: up by approx. 125 rpm.
  • ◆ After starting the engine when intake air temperature is above 75 °C or coolant temperature is above 105 °C: up by approx. 70 rpm.
  • ◆ The idling speed is raised to 750 rpm at selected driving range.
  • ◆ With air conditioner switched on, the idling speed is raised to 890 rpm (engine code AFK) or 800 rpm (engine code AHW).

Note on display zone 1:

As soon as a fault is stored in the fault memory which affects the intake air temperature sender (G42), the engine control unit will use a replacement value of 80 °C for the temperature value.

Notes on display zone 3:

  • ◆ The voltage signal "rich mixture (low level of residual oxygen)" is approx. 0.700...1.000 V.
  • ◆ The voltage signal "lean mixture (high level of residual oxygen)" is approx. 0.000...0.300 V.
  • ◆ When changing from "rich" to "lean" and back again (font=symbol charset=fontspecific code=108 TeX='\lambda ' descr='[lambda]' = 1.0) the voltage jump will change from 0.700...1.000 V to 0.000...0.300 V or back again.
  • ◆ Due to the steep voltage jumps the Lambda control cannot keep the ideal mixture composition font=symbol charset=fontspecific code=108 TeX='\lambda ' descr='[lambda]' = 1.0 constant. The control fluctuates constantly between conditions "slightly too lean" and "slightly too rich".
  • ◆ The displayed value must temporarily drop below 0.300 V and exceed 0.600 V. Displayed values below 0.450 V signifies lean, above 0.450 V rich.

Fault memory
0 = No fault stored in fault memory

Note on 2nd position in 8 digit number block:

Because the signal is very short, the command to retard the ignition timing is not always recognised by the fault reader V.A.G. 1551 or the vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552. Check gearbox intervention signal when a gear is selected .

Note on 4th and 6th position in 8 digit number block:

If a 1 is displayed here the fault can be that the accelerator cable is too taut.

Note on 5th position in 8 digit number block:

All faults will not be recognised by the self-diagnosis. If a 1 is shown here you must check the Lambda probe and Lambda control even if no fault is stored in the fault memory .
