Safety precautions

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or
damage to the fuel injection and ignition system,
always observe the following:

Do not touch or pull off ignition wires when
engine is running or turning at starting RPM.
Always switch ignition off before disconnecting
or reconnecting wires for the injection and
ignition system, including high voltage wiring
and test leads.
If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM
without starting (e.g. for compression testing),
disconnect connector from ignition coils and
from fuel injectors.
It is possible that the control module will
recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during
some tests. After completing all tests and
repairs, DTC memory should therefore be
checked and erased if necessary. Readiness
code must be generated after DTC memory is
erased Page 01

.

Always switch ignition off before cleaning
engine.

Knock recognition control stop,
checking

The following tests must be performed when a
DTC is stored that relates to "knock recognition
control limit reached".

Possible cause
Corrective action
DTC for all cylinders
Poor fuel quality- Change fuel quality
(see operating instructions)
or
DTC for all cylinders in one
row Knock sensor tightened to incorrect
torque - Loosen knock sensors and tighten to 20
Nm
Knock sensor faulty- Check knock sensors Page 28

Corrosion at harness connector
Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories
DTC for one Cylinder Engine damage- Check compression pressure
Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories

- Also check ignition angle retardation of the
individual cylinders Page 28
