FINDING AND REMEDYING FAULTS
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE | P0005/P0006/P0007 | P0087 | P0172 |
DISPLAYED FAULTS | Fuel cut-off solenoid valve – open circuit; signal too high/too low • Fuel cut-off solenoid valve defective • Plug-in connection defective, cable interrupted | Fuel rail/system pressure too low • Fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator defective • Fuel supply line/fuel filter blocked • Filter on intake side of pump (in case of retrofitting/replacement) | Mixture too rich • Activated carbon filter solenoid valve stuck (permanently open): Fuel-enriched air from the activated carbon filter is drawn into the intake air system • Diaphragm of the pneumatic fuel pressure regulator leaking: Fuel is drawn into the intake air system through the vacuum line • Stuck/carbonised EGR valve is always open |
NEXT STEPS/ POSSIBLE REMEDIES | • Measure power supply/wiring harness, replace if necessary • Check fuel cut-off solenoid valve, replace if necessary | • Check fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator, replace if necessary • Check fuel supply line/fuel filter, replace if necessary • Remove filter that may be fitted on the intake side of the pump | • Check ACF solenoid valve, replace if necessary • Check fuel pressure regulator, replace if necessary • Check EGR valve: -- If the EGR valve is always open, exhaust gas is recirculated permanently -- If the EGR valve is stuck, replace and find out the causes of the sticking |
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE | P0441 | P0462/P0463 |
DISPLAYED FAULTS | Fuel vapour collecting system – incorrect flow rate • Leakage in activated carbon filter system (ACF system), e.g. hose connections leaking • ACF solenoid valve stuck (permanently open) | Fuel level sensor – input signal too low/too high • Sender unit shows that fuel level is too low • Engine shuts off automatically or does not start |
NEXT STEPS/ POSSIBLE REMEDIES | • Examine ACF system for leakage, e.g. by checking hose connections, replace if necessary • Check ACF solenoid valve, replace if necessary | • Check sender unit or module with sender unit, replace if necessary |
