Notes on actuations - AH07.00-P-3000-03WA

ME-SFI fuel injection and ignition system with hand-held tester or with STAR DIAGNOSIS 

IMPORTANT

ACTUATIONS DESCRIPTION

Actuations in HHT (HHT-WIN) Function  
Camshaft ON Engine does not idle smoothly.
Air pump ON O2 sensor voltage moves to < 40 mV in max. 60 s.
Injectors OFF
ON
When individual injectors switched off, engine speed drops for a short time. Engine running deteriorates.
When injectors switched on, engine speed is again okay.
Throttle valve OPEN
CLOSE
Throttle valve angle becomes greater and engine speed rises.
Throttle valve angle becomes less and engine speed drops.
Fuel pump OFF OFF: fuel system becomes pressureless and engine is switched off.
Purge system ON Purge control valve ON: purge control valve is heard or felt to operate.
Activated charcoal canister shutoff valve (only USA) ON Only when engine switched off for testing purge control system for leaks.
Exhaust gas recirculation ON Engine does not run smoothly or stops.
Mixture adaptation RICH/LEAN LEAN: idle speed deteriorates.
Smooth engine running shutoff threshold POSITIVE/NEGATIVE Reduce shutoff threshold; this makes it possible to more rapidly detect a possible fault.
Engine/AC electric suction fan POSITIVE/NEGATIVE Suction fan can be regulated between 20 and 90 %.
Ignition circuit shutoff ON Engine runs slightly more poorly, recognizable from smooth running. If a fault is present, this exists in the active ignition circuit.
Intake manifold switchover ON ON: vacuum element (below front engine trim panel) is seen to move.
Compression test   For assessing a faulty cylinder.
Compressor clutch
Air flap switchover (only when engine off)
ON
ON
Operates audibly or visibly.
Air flap switchover operates audibly.
Exhaust flap (cylinder shutoff or T0) ON Operates audibly or visibly.
Cylinder shutoff ON Engine speed drops for a short time and engine runs irregularly.
ACTUATIONS DESCRIPTION

Actuations in HHT Possible symptoms, applications or if no fault is stored regarding Examples for possible faults in subsystem (refer to Diagnosis Manual Engine Volume 2 - 5 for further remedies)
Camshaft Engine vibrates at idle speed, poor output Camshaft adjustment
Air pump Emissions exceeded Air line, actuation, lambda control, air pump
Injectors Engine vibrates, poor output Injector, control module
Throttle valve Engine speed to high, engine vibrates, engine surges Throttle control stiff, accelerator pedal position sensor
Fuel pump When working on fuel system (drain fuel lines) For repairs
Purge system Smell of fuel Purge control valve, line faulty
Activated charcoal canister shutoff valve (only USA) For inspection work on purge system (fuel tank leaks)  
Exhaust gas recirculation Engine vibrates when idling, high fuel consumption Exhaust gas recirculation valve (jamming)
Mixture adaptation Transition fault, warming-up fault Ignition system, unmetered air, injector
Smooth running shutoff threshold Engine vibrates Ignition system, injection system, engine mechanical systems
Engine/AC electric suction fan Engine becomes too warm Fan faulty, control module faulty, wiring
Ignition circuit shutoff Engine vibrates, poor output Ignition coil, spark plugs, wiring
Intake manifold switchover Poor output Switchover valve, vacuum line, vacuum unit
Compression test Engine vibrates, engine difficult to start, poor output Mechanical fault
Compressor Poor output Compressor, recirculated air flap actuator, control module
Compressor clutch Poor output Compressor, line, control module
Air flap switchover Poor output Actuator, control module
Exhaust flap (only T0) Excessively high emission levels Vacuum system, exhaust flap stiff
