Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation

First check:

  • the condition of the air filter
  • leaks from intake manifolds after the compressor
Continue to Step 1Filter element dirty or damagedReplace the filter element Op. 1048A14
Leaks from intake manifoldsRenew the seal
1CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation

Connect an Examiner tester to the tester connection and check the engine control node:

  • for faults in error mode;
  • for plausibility of all parameters in parameter mode;

Check that the preheating system is working properly by carrying out active diagnosis

Continue to Step 2Presence of one of the following errors: P0101, P1102Continue to Step 2
Presence of error P0400Continue to Step 4
An error is detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Unreliable parametersContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Fault in preheating systemRestore correct operation
