catalytic converter AUDI A4 1999 B5 / 1.G AFC Engine On Board Diagnostic Multiport Fuel Injection Owner's Manual

01-96
Notes:

The heating for Oxygen Sensor Probes behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) is not switched on immediately at
engine start, but when the calculated exhaust gas temperature drops below 308 C (586 F) ( Read measuring value
block, display group 42, channel 1). The malfunction "P1105 / 17513" is set as soon as the probe heater is switched on (the vehicle must be driven approx. 60
sec. under load) and the heating current is greater than 10 A for longer than 80 ms.

If the trip status display is set to "1" when the readiness code is regenerated, but the corresponding display value of the
readiness code is not set to "0", the diagnosis was carried out but recognized as not OK by the engine control module. In this
case, the DTC memory should be checked to determine malfunctions and/or to carry out a selective diagnosis:

For three way catalytic converter diagnosis (Bank 1 and 2) also check display groups 035, 036 and 044.
For the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system leak diagnosis, also check display group 030.
For the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system throughput and leak diagnosis, also check display groups 020 and 021.
For oxygen sensor diagnosis, also check display groups 032, 033, 034, 041, 042 and 043.
For oxygen sensor heating diagnosis, also check display group 040.
For the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system throughput diagnosis, also check display group 017.

Notes on display field 1:

All readiness code values are set to "1" by disconnecting the ECM harness connector and/or disconnecting the battery,
and every time DTC memory is erased (both with address word 01 function 05 and with address word 33 mode 4).
To regenerate the readiness code, take a drive of approx. 1-1/2 to 5 minutes at 80-100 km/h (50-63 mph) with manual
transmission in 4th or 5th gear, or automatic transmission selector lever in "D" position, preferably in 4th gear ("mixed city
and highway" trip).

The display values are set to "0" at each start, since the function capability of components and systems that can affect the
exhaust are checked again and again.
Leak testing of the EGR system is only carried out after a preceding cold start (water temperature -10 C to 30 C (14 to

heated oxygen sensor 2]
Display group 034 [Number of flank rise and flank fall tests]
Notes on display group 032, 033 and 034:

If the value of the heated oxygen sensor diagnosis is not set to "0" in display group 029, display field 1 during regeneration
of the readiness code, and/or there is a malfunction in the DTC memory that relates to the heated oxygen sensors, display
groups 032, 033 and 034, as well as display groups 042 and 043 are used to carry out a selective diagnosis.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) checks the flank rise and/or flank fall time (response time) of the voltage signal for the
heated oxygen sensors in front of three way catalytic converter after every start with diagnostic conditions fulfilled
display group 042. The display values for display group 034 are incremented with each diagnosis that is carried out, whether the diagnosis is
recognized as OK or not OK. If the flank rise and/or flank fall time is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the
display values are increased by the value "1" and the diagnosis is discontinued. If the limit values (flank rise time 90
ms/flank fall time 85 ms) are exceeded, the diagnosis is recognized as not OK. The flank rise and/or fall times now
continue to be checked, whereby the display values are incremented with each additional diagnosis. However, the limit
values can also be exceeded because combustion misfiring is recognized. In this case, the malfunction "Bank X probe Y
signal too slow" is not stored in DTC memory, but" Cyl. x Combustion misfiring recognized" is stored.

Display group 035 (Three way catalytic converter diagnosis, bank 1)
Display group 036 (Three way catalytic converter diagnosis, bank 2)
Notes on display groups 035 and 036:

If the value of the three way catalytic converter diagnosis is not set to "0" in display group 029, display field 1 during
regeneration of the readiness code and/or there is a malfunction in DTC memory that relates to the three way catalytic
converter, display groups 035, 036 and 044 are used to carry out a selective diagnosis.
At each start, when the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled ( display group 044) the Engine Control Module (ECM) checks
the deterioration rate of the three way catalytic converter by the heated oxygen sensors in front of and behind the three
way catalytic converter. Display fields 1 and 2 display the largest and smallest rate of deterioration of all the diagnoses carried out. If a higher or
lower rate of deterioration is recognized at the next diagnosis, the current value is overwritten.
The number of three way catalytic converter diagnoses (display field 3) is incremented each time a diagnosis is carried
out, no matter whether the diagnosis is considered OK or not OK.
If the rate of deterioration is recognized as OK during the first diagnosis, the number of three way catalytic converter
diagnoses is increased by the value of "1" and the diagnosis is discontinued.
If the limit value of 50% is exceeded, the diagnosis is recognized as not OK. In this case, the rate of deterioration
continues to be checked, while the number of three way catalytic converter diagnoses is incremented with each additional
diagnosis.
Display field 4 shows the current rate of deterioration recognized at the last diagnosis.
