The e ngines equipped with UCE injection type SIRIUS 32 are provided with oxygen sensors, as
follows:
-one up stream oxygen sensor – for engines corresponding to EURO 96 de-pollution norms.
- one upstream oxygen sensor and one downstream oxygen sensor – for engine s corresponding
to EURO 2000 de-pollution norms.
OXYGEN SENSORS HEATING
Oxygen sensors heating control is given by UCE injection as follows: -for up stream oxygen sensor – starting with engine starting.
-f or downstream oxygen sensor – after a certain time from engine starting, imposed by the
UCE injection charts, being subject to engine RPM and water temperature, red only when the
accelera tion pedal is not released.
UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR VOLTAGE
After connecting the CLIP tester select “ Injection Diagnostic” and refer to “PR009 parameter:
Upstream oxygen sensor voltage”. The displayed value, expressed in mV, is representing the voltage
supplied towards UCE injection by the oxygen sensor placed upstream as the catalyst. When the
engine is running in the “closed loop” phase, voltage must fluctuate quickly between the following
lim i ts :
-20 mV ± 50 for poor fuel mixture;
-840 mV ± 70 for rich fuel mixture.
Smaller is the difference between these two limits, less good the sensor information is
(g en erally this difference is of 500 mV).
DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR VOLTAGE
After connecting the CLIP tester select “ Injection Diagnostic” and refer to “PR010 param-
eter: Downstream oxygen sensor voltage”. The displayed value, expressed in mV, is representing
the voltage supplied towards UCE injection by the oxygen sensor placed after the catalyst. This
sensor has the purpose to catalyst diagnostic and to perform a second checking, more exactly, of
the fuel mixture enriching. This function is becoming active only after a certain time of engine
running at warm and it is not active in the engine idling phase.
When the engine is running in “closed loop” phase and at stabilized speed, voltage must fluctuate
ha ving between the maximal and minimal limits a difference of 600-mV ± 100. At deceleration,
voltage mu st be under 200 mV.

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.

-n o functional failure of the catalyst is detected by the CLIP tester.
Th e purpose of the oxygen sensor diagnostic is to detect a disturbance leading to exceeding the
OBD step, caused by the HC polluting emissions. Diagnostic is performed by measuring and
co mparing the oscillating periods of the values red by the oxygen sensors.
Th e po ssible degradations of the oxygen sensors, are of two types:
-m echanical degradation of the electric component (case, wire broke) which is to be de-
fined as electric failure.
-c hemical degradation f the component, leading to a retardation of the sensor responding
time, consequently an increase of the minimal/maximal oscillating period. When the test conditions are accomplished, perform the average of the periods pointed out by
the sensor, retrieving the parasite effects, which are compared with an OBD step average period.
TEST PE RFORM ING CONDITIONS
Diagnostic of the oxygen sensor can be not performed but after a certain engine running time
an d in some specific established operation conditions and if the preliminary conditions, achieved
when setting the contact n, are achieved and preserved: -no electr ic failure
-c orrect performing of the “learnings” by the UCE injection and of the cylinders recognition.
-n o detected combustion misfire.
-N on-performing of the oxygen sensor diagnostic after contact setting on.
-water temper ature to be over 75°C
