Diagnostics of malfunctions of knots and car systems

THE GENERAL DATA

The description of diagnostics of electronic control systems and diagnostic codes are resulted in section of System of an electric equipment of the engine.

In the given Section the most simple scheme of finding-out of the reasons of malfunctions and the refusals occurring in knots and systems of a vehicle is offered. Refusals and their possible reasons are broken into groups on the basis of the relation to certain components or car systems, as for example the engine, cooling system, etc., besides, in the text references to Sections and Subsections concerning the given problems are given.

Remember that successful end of search of causes of defect at all is not the black magic accessible to only skilled professional mechanics, and is defined by a combination of certain knowledge and the patient, regular approach to problem research. To move always follows from simple to difficult, to lead up each check to the logic end and to try not to pass the obvious facts – everyone can forget to fill fuel in a fuel tank or to leave for the night included lighting devices.

And at last, always it is necessary to try to make an accurate picture of development of malfunction and to undertake corresponding steps on relapse prevention. If refusal of an electric equipment was the result of infringement of quality of contact, check up at the same time a condition of all other contacts and electric sockets of system. If the same safety lock some times continues to fuse successively, there is no sense in its further replacement – it is necessary to try to find out a cause of a failure. Remember that failure of a minor component can be a sign of infringement of functioning of more important knot or the whole system.

The engine


If the engine is not started, it is necessary to analyse a situation. That the engine in general could be started, two basic conditions should be satisfied. In cylinders the mix should arrive fuel-air, and on a spark plug the spark should be developed. Therefore, first, it is necessary to check up, whether fuel moves. As thus it is necessary to operate, it is described in section of the Power supply system and release of the fulfilled gases.

To define, whether the spark is developed, it is necessary to turn out all candles, to insert into tips and separately to put to weight. The remark: to exclude damage каталитического the converter, it is necessary to exclude thus gasoline injection. For this purpose расстыкуйте штекерное connection of injectors. If the spark is not present, define malfunction according to section of System of an electric equipment of the engine.

ATTENTION

Observe security measures at work with electronic system of ignition (section of System of an electric equipment of the engine).


Thus a tip or a cable of ignition do not hold hands, and use well isolated nippers. Ask the assistant to start the engine. If the spark does not slip, define malfunction being guided by section of System of an electric equipment of the engine.

Automatic transmission (АТ)
ATTENTION

In view of complexity of design АТ full diagnostics of its malfunctions and repair of components are inaccessible to qualification of the average mechanic-fan. At occurrence of any, distinct from listed below problems of functioning АТ the car should be driven away for check and repair in a workshop of car-care centre or representation branch of company AUDI A3.



The shared problems connected with functioning of the mechanism of switching

It is possible to carry the following to number of the refusals connected with infringement of adjustment of draught of switching:

a) engine Start is possible at the positions of transmission which are distinct from “Р” (Parking) and “N” (Neutral).
b) Indications of the indicator of position of transmission differ from really chosen transfer.
c) the Car moves at the transmission established in position “Р”.

2. Before driving away the car in a car-care centre workshop check up level and a condition трансмиссионной liquids (Chapter 1). Modify level according to requirements of Specifications or replace a liquid together with the filter. If a situation was not corrected, address for the help to experts.

Leaks трансмиссионной liquids take place

1. Liquid АТ has dark red colour. Traces of its leaks should not be confused to traces of impellent oil which can be taken down on картер transmissions by a running stream of air.
2. For revealing and localisation of a source of leak first of all remove from a transmission boat all traces of a dirt and greasing. Take advantage approaching обезжиривателем and-or make steam cleaning. Then make on the car a short trip on small speed (that leak traces did not communicate a running stream far from its source). Stop, поддомкратьте the car and by visual survey establish a leak source. More often as those act:

a) the Pallet картера transmissions: Tighten fixing bolts and-or replace a pallet lining.
b) the Tube of a gulf of a liquid: Replace rubber consolidation in a place of an input of a tube in картер transmissions.
c) Lines трансмиссионной liquids: Tighten штуцерные connections or replace lines.
d) the Ventilating tube: Transmission is overflowed and-or water has got to it.
