Check at idling if there is a depression, by fitting a pressure gauge (-3…+ 3 bars) at the
purging valve exit (B) t owards canister. Is there any depression?
YES - Set off the contact . Using a vacuum pump, apply a 500 mbars depression at
the (C ) connection of t he purging valve. The value of t he re ad depre ssion must not vary
more than 10 mbars within 30 seconds. If change i s more than 10 mbars, then purging
valve is damaged and must be replaced. Valve cleaning of small active carbon part icles
may be tried, by low-pressure compressed air blowing at the valve (B) connection NO - When conditions of purging valve controlling are accomplished and this one
does not open, c heck its control electric circ uit ( be tween UCE i njection pin 4 and purging
valve), from continuity or short-circuit point of view. The RCO value of the signal received by the purging valve from the computer, may be
read by means of the CLIP tester in PROL 23. The m inimal value is of 0.7% (corresponding
to the closed position of the purging valve).

The catalyst efficiency is maximal when the air e xcess value (l ) is within the limits l =
0,97 ...1,03.
The i njection c omputer is adopting the adjustment strategy of the fuel m ixture enriching
in order to observe the a.m. condition. In order to inform the computer about the enriching
degree of t he mixture, the oxygen sensor is used, which is sending an electric signal of a
value oscillating between 150 and 800 mV. When the engine is warm and operating in the « closed loop « stage, the tension generated
by the oxygen sensor must quickly oscillate between 150 +/- 50 m V, corresponding to the
poor mixture and 750+/- 50 mV corresponding to the enriched mixture. The maximal-minimal
range must be as large as possible (at least 500 mV), confirming the sensor good operation.
The correction of the m ixture enri ching may be seen by means of t he CLIP tester, in t he
menu “FUNCTIONS TEST”, sub-menu “ENRICHING ADJUSTMENT” by the parameter
PR 035= enriching corre ction value.
The corre ction value has as limits 0 and 255, the avera ge value being placed at 128.
The interpretation of the parameter PRO 35 value, is the following :
- when it is gre ater than 128 the computer is requesting the mixture enriching- so, the
mixture has been poor.
- when it is smaller than 128, the computer is requesting the mixture penury- so, the
mixture has been ri ch. The en tra nce i n the enri ching adjustment is effective aft er a timing, due to water
temperature greater than 10 C when the acceleration t hrottle i s free ( idling e ngine) and t he
oxygen sensor is enough warm ( over 350 C). Until the moment of e nteri ng in this stage,
the enri ching correction value (PRO 53) will be 128. In the enri ching stage, the injection c omputer will not take i nto a ccount t he va lues
furnished by the oxygen sensor, in the fol lowing situations :
- accelera tion pushed at maximum
-sudden accelera tion
- at decelerating, with free accelera tion pedal inform ation.
- in case of a damaged oxygen sensor.
“DEGENERATED” OPERATION WAY IN CASE OF THE OXYGEN SENSOR DAMAGE
When the tension furnished by the oxygen sensor is not correct ( is changing a little bit
or not at all ), during enri ching adjustment, t he computer will not pass to t he »degenera ted »
operation way unl ess the damage ha s been re cognized a s being present for at least 10
minutes. Only in this case, the damage will be memori zed.
When a damage at the oxygen sensor is detected and if the damage has been already memorized,
then it will pass directly to the « open loop » operation (enriching correction = 128).

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
