TEPS IN DIAGNOSING
INSPECTION OF DEFECTS
This stage is the indispensable start ing-point before any intervention on the car. if the
defect is indicated by the t ester, then remedy it; if no defe ct ha s been signalled by t he
tester, a conformity inspection will ha ve to be made, thus helping t o spot the possible
causes. To do that check on the fol lowing elements:
- the electric circuit corre sponding to the defect which has been signalled;
- the electric connectors along the circuit (oxidized spots, deform ed plugs, etc.);
- the e lectric re sistance that is not i n keeping with the element connected to that
electric circ uit; - the state of the plugs (cut or worn-out insulation, areas with traces of pressing, etc.).
CONFORMITY I NSPECTION
Its aim is to check on the various states and parameters, to detect some anomaly when
the tester failed to find defe cts.
This phase allows:- to diagnose a breakdown or failure without displaying the defe ct corre sponding to
a deficient functioning of the parts or following complaints from the user. - to check the good functioning of the injection system and to ensure no breakdown
or failure will appear immediately aft er the repair ha s been made.
So, this heading concerns a diagnosing of the various states and parameters, unde r
certain inspection conditions.
If a state is defective or a parameter is be yond tolerance, the corre sponding diagnose
page will have to be consulted.
LOCALIZING A DEFECT AFTER USER’S COMPLAINT
If after the inspection of the injection system by means of the CLIP tester (inspection of
defects and i nspection of conform ity) the cause of the user’s c omplaint ha s not be en e limi-
nated, then the logical schema of finding out of the possible causes of the problem will be
used. These schemas will only be used under the following circumstances:- no defect has been shown by the tester;
- no anomaly has been signalled by the inspection of conformity;
- the car does not work properly. DIAGNOSING-INTRODUCTION

SUGGESTIONS
Try the tester on a different car
Check:
- the connection between the tester and the diagnosing plug (state of the cable)
- the fuse s S3 and S4 in the engine compartment, and S15 in the passenger cabin.
Remedy if necessary.
Check at the diagnosing plug the presence of +12V for pin 16 and the mass for pin 5.
Remedy if necessary.
Connect the 90-way terminal-tester instead of the injection calculator and check the
insulation, the continuity and the absence of parasitic resistances along the following
ci rcu its:
-pin 28 of calc ulator ♦ mass
-pin 33 of calc ulator ♦ mass
-pin 3 of calculator ♦ mass
-pin 56 of calculator ♦ pin 7 of diagnosing plug
-pin 28 of calculator ♦pin 15 of diagnosing plug
-pin 28 of calculator ♦fuse S3 in the engine compartment
-pin 28 of calculator ♦ fuse S4 in the engine compartment.
