In this article, we will look at fault codes, causes and remedies
The table of codes was discussed in the article "Gasoline Engine Diagnostic Trouble Codes"
To diagnose the vehicle's ECU, it is necessary to turn on the "ignition" in the diagnostic mode (forced supply of "+" after the ignition switch).
For this:
- – Insert the car card into the reader (keyless car modification, scenario 1 (basic without hands-free function) and scenario 2 (maximum with hands-free function)).
- – press and hold (more than 5 seconds) the engine start button without conditions for starting the engine,
- - connect the diagnostic tool and perform the necessary operations.
The control unit for the right and left xenon headlights is supplied with power when the dipped beam headlights are turned on.
Thus, their diagnosis can be made only after the ignition is turned on in the mode
diagnostics (forced supply of "+" after the ignition switch) and switching on the low beam headlights.
To disable the "+" after the ignition, do the following:
- – disable the diagnostic tool,
- – briefly press the engine start button twice (for less than 3 seconds),
- - Verify that the forced "+" supply after the ignition switch is terminated by turning off the computer warning lights on the instrument panel.
