ENGINE DOES NOT START / UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

2.0 16V JTD, 2.2 16V JTD

The engine does not start. When the key is turned the instruments light up as normal, the starter motor turns, but the engine does not start up.

STEPOPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUTTEST RESULTS
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Check:

  • that the inertia switch has not been operated;
  • presence of fuel in the tank;
  • air intake circuit;
  • correct operation of the flow modification valve;
  • correct operation of the exhaust manifolds.
  • that there are no leaks or seepage from the high and low pressure fuel pipes
Move on to Step1. Intertia switch operated1. Restore correct operation
2. Lack of fuel2. Add fuel to the tank
3. Air filter dirty or partly blocked

3. Replace the filter element

Op. 1048A14 AIR CLEANER FILTERING ELEMENT - REPLACE.

4. Flow modulation valve working incorrectlyMove on to Step
5. Exhaust blocked5. Restore exhaust manifolds to working order
6. Presence of leaks6. Eliminate leaks
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION

Connect the Examiner diagnostic equipment to the diagnostic socket.Check:

  • that there are no errors in the control unit (the Code system in particular)

Carry out active diagnosis of flow modification valve

Move on to Step1. Error detected in the control unit1. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2. Solenoid valve not working

2. Check the continuity of the wiring < R1 >, if necessary, replace the solenoid valve < R2 >

See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT

2FLOW MODIFICATION VALVE ACTUATOR CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check operation of the pneumatic actuatorMove on to StepActuator not workingReplace electro-pneumatically controlled throttle casing
3HIGH PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
With the diagnostic equipment connected to the diagnostic socket, check that the diesel pressure parameter is correct following the instructions in test 1060DMove on to StepPressure not correctMove on to Step
4INJECTOR HIGH PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check, as described in procedure 1060C, that the leaks of diesel from the injector recirculation connections are only slight and about the same as one another.Move on to StepPersistent leak from one injectorReplace the injector
5LOW RETURN PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check, as described in test 1060A, that the pressure in the return pipe to the tank is less than 1 barMove on to StepPressure above the maximum limit: return pipe to the tank obstructedRepair the pipe, if necessary, replace it
6LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check, as described in test 1060B, that the diesel pressure between the filter and the pressure pump is between 2 and 3 barMove on to StepPressure below the minimum limit or above the maximum limit Pressure below the minimum limit or above the maximum limitMove on to Step
7LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Constrict the return pipe, downstream of the valve, and carry out test 1060B again with the pipe constricted checking that the pressure at the filter outlet stays below 2 barMove on to StepPressure rises to 5 bar: pressure regulator valve on filter mounting incorrectly adjustedReplace the valve
8LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the filter is less than 1 barMove on to StepDifference in pressure more than 1 bar

Replace the fuel filter cartridge

Op. 1044B20 FUEL FILTER FILTERING ELEMENT - REPLACE

9CHECK LOW SUPPLY PRESSUREALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the supply pump pressure at the filter inlet is more than 2.2 barMove on to StepPressure below 2.2 barMove on to Step
10LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Measure the difference in pressure between the electric pump outlet and the filter inlet and check that it is less than 0.3 barMove on to StepDifference in pressure more than 0.3 barReplace the pipe
11LOW SUPPLY PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check, as decribed in test 1040AA, that the pump supply voltage is equal to 12V and that the current absorption is between 2 and 10 AmpereMove on to Step1. Voltage < 12 volt

1. Check electrical wiring

See E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT

2. Current > 10 Amps: pump defective

2. Replace the fuel pump assembly

Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GUAGE CONTROL - R + R

3. Current < 2 Amps: pump obstructed

3. Replace the fuel pump assembly < R1 > and clean the fuel tank

Op. 1040A70 SUBMERGED PUMP ASSEMBLY COMPLETE WITH LEVEL GUAGE CONTROL - R + R

12CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the high pressure regulator and check that the fault is no longer present.Fault persistsMove on to Step
13CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the pressure pump and check that the fault is no longer presentFault persistsContact the Service Department for further information on the problem
14CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Replace the engine management control unit and check that the fault is no longer presentFault persistsContact the Service Department for further information on the problem
