Exhaust-emission AnalysisEdition 09.04
S00.5301.14.2002-8 page 5 02
All tubes and plug connections, which had been removed
or disconnected for the test and adjustment, must be re-
inserted or connected.
Technical data of the spark plugs Chapter 02-3.
Exhaust-Emission Analysis on Models
with Diesel Engines
♦When possible the test should be carried out immedi-
ately after the road test and also outdoors. If specific
reasons prevent this (weather conditions, excessive
noise in residential areas) the test may also be per-
formed in the workshop.
♦Secure the engine bonnet in the first stop while meas-
uring to reduce the noise.
Visual inspection
♦Hose for crankcase ventilation is connected
♦Fuel system and injection pump must be tight
♦The exhaust system must be undamaged and tight
♦All vacuum hoses are connected
Test and setting conditions
•Engine oil temperature at least 80 °C
•All electrical components disconnected
•No fault stored in the fault memory ⇒Chapter 02-6,
connect vehicle system tester and interrogate fault
memory
Correct detected faults before measuring (repair meas-
ure).
Connect the test equipment
–Connect the tester in compliance with the operating
instructions.
–Start engine, warm up to normal temperature and run
in idle.
–Perform the exhaust-emission analysis.
♦Activate and inspect auxiliary equipment such as e.g.
power steering, automatic gearbox or air conditioning
system. Check whether the engine continues to run
perfectly under this load.
♦All tubes and plug connections, which had been re-
moved or disconnected for the test and adjustment,
must be re-inserted or connected.
