Diagnosis - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory

The individual test steps (e.g. ECT sensor, IAT sensor, etc.) are combined into a test program. If a complaint is confirmed during engine diagnosis in Volume 1 and a reference is made to a particular test step, only perform that test step (with respective time allowed) and not the entire test program.


a) On-off Ratio Test, Ignition: ON
In this test, the input signals to the CFI control module are tested in the respective component's static state (ignition: ON ). This readout mode can also be used for a quick test of the signals being monitored.

Test Note:
Connect impulse counter scan tool according to connection diagram, see section 0, Connection und Use of Test Equipment.
For information on performing the On-off Ratio Test as well as recalling the DTC's with the impulse counter scan tool, see volume 1, section B 1.


A fixed on-off ratio of 50% indicates that all input signals are OK.
If a different on-off ratio is displayed, see Malfunction Table.

90 Electrohydraulic actuator (Y1) current implausible 23 10.0 - 11.0
100 Not used. -
1) Observe Preparation for Test, see 22 .
2) See DI control module.

b) On-off Ratio Test, Engine: at Idle
In this test, the input signals to the CFI control module are checked for plausibility with the engine running at idle.
If the indicator oscillates, then there is no malfunction in the system.

If a fixed on-off ratio is displayed, see Malfunction Table.
Malfunctions are indicated in ascending order of on-off ratio.
