This diagnostic may detect:
-spark plug fouling or smoking,
-fou ling or modification from the normal value of the injectors flow,
-f uel supply system abnormalities (pressure controller, fuel pump,..)
-pr oblems with the electric connections for controlling fuel supply circuits and the injection.
Th e di ag nostic is performed by variations measurement of the engine prompt rotation speed.
Notice of a couple decrease is allowing the defective combustion recognition as failure cause.
Th is diagnostic is done almost permanently during driving. Non accomplishment of the diagnos-
tic or recognition of the existence of failure, is leading to other OBD diagnostics inhibition. This diagnostic is enabling the identification of two types of failures:
-de structive combustion misfires, which are causing the catalyst damage. These are gener-
ating the immediate blinking of the OBD indicator. -Polluting combustion misfires, leading to e xceeding a pre-established OBD pollution limit.
These ar e generating the permanent lighting of the OBD indicator, if the cause detection is
taken place during three consecutive running.
DE T ECT ION CONDITIONS
At the beginning, it must be checked if the “learning” stages of the adaptive values by the UCE
injection have been correctly performed. Also the preliminary conditions imposed when setting the
co ntact on and those from checking moment, must be accomplished.
Check by means of the CLIP tester if the bellow mentioned states are in the following configu-
ration:
ET0 14 Cylinder 1 recognition----------------------------------------------------------------- DONE
ET2 02 OBD diagnostic of combustion misfires taken into consideration--------------AC TIVE
Detection is accomplished after the water temperature is exceeding 75°C, at three rotation
steps, between idling and 4500 rot/min. It is also possible, test performing by maintaining the engine
at idling for a period of time of 11 minutes.
ATTENTION: after performing this test, the contact set ting on is imposed (key in M
position) before reading the r esults by means of the CLI P t ester. Any contact set ting off
be fore reading the test results, will lead to their wrong interpretation.
If after test performing, the CLIP tester is noticing the presence of the combustion mis-
f ires, refer to the diagnostic method related to this symptom.
CONFIRM ATION OF THE RE PARATION PE RFORM ING
-Check by m eans of the CLIP tester, the bellow states, which must have the following
c onfiguration:
ET0 14 Cylinder 1 recognition -------------------------------------------------------------------- DONE
ET2 02 OBD diagnostic of combustion misfires taken into consideration ----------------- AC TIVE
-N o failures is detected by the CLIP tester, and the OBD indicator must be off.

Diagnostic – General
This document is presenting the diagnostic for the injection computers SIRIUS 32, which have
nr.program E1 and Diag.variant 10.
In order to perform the diagnostic of this injection system, it is necessary to use the following
elem ents:
-D iagnostic Technical Note
-F unctional electric diagram of the respective vehicle
-CLIP technic al tester, 90 ways terminal (ELE 1497).
DIAGNOSTIC PE RFORMING STEPS
- CLIP tester connection to the diagnostic socket for identification of the SIRIUS 32 computer
type, of the “E1” program and the diagnostic variant “10”.
- Informati on identification in the document “Diagnostic” corresponding to the injection system.
- Reading and observing of the working instructions presented in the diagnostic documentation.
- Reading of the failures memorized by the injection computer, by means of the CLIP tester and
caus es identification by means of chapter “ Failures interpretation”
DO NOT ERASE T HE MEMORIZED FAILURES BEFORE RE ADING THEM BY MEANS OF THE CLIP TESTER
Write the memorized failures, after having previously red by means of the CLIP tester, in order
to be taken into consideration and treated, if these are to be themselves erased.
1. Treat all existent failures.
2. Memorized failures:
Perform the operations mentioned in “Recommendations” corresponding to each failure, in order
to confirm the failure.
If the failure is becoming present, then it must be treated.
3. For vehicle provided with OBD.
If the failure is memorized and the OBD indicator is on, read the failure context remarks, the
co rres po nding state at” OBD indicator lighting requesting”, in order to establish if this is the cause
for i ndicator lighting.
In such case, treat the failure as being present.
REMARK : the state “ OBD indicator lighting requesting” may be YES or NO and may be
co nsulted by selecting menu “ FUNCTIONS”, then OBD INDICATOR LIGHTING”.
Perform the conformity checking (evidencing of eventually disturbances not yet declared by the
system self-diagnostic). Validate the reparation performing (failure cause elimination).
Take benefit of the information from the failure-locating tree, in case the problem is persisting.
