Multiport Fuel Injection






OBD, General Information

The Engine Control Module (ECM) is equipped with a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory.

The DTC memory should be checked before every repair or every fault finding session.

Check the vacuum hoses and connections (unmetered air).

Fuel hoses in the engine compartment must only be secured with spring type clips. The use of clamp or screw type clips is not permissible.

For the electric components to work properly, a voltage of at least 11.5 volts is required.

Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone drawn into the engine, will not be burnt in the engine and will damage the oxygen sensors.

The vehicles have a crash fuel shut off. This function reduces the risk of a fire during a collision because the fuel pump relay switches the fuel pump off.

This setup also makes it easier to start the engine. The fuel pump runs for approximately 2 seconds when the driver door opens to build pressure in the fuel system. Refer to the applicable safety precautions, refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Multiport Fuel Injection.
