If no change in combustion sound is heard
- Check injection adjuster control range. Diesel Injection Timing Control Range, Checking
- Press -> button.

Display will appear as shown

Output Diagnostic Test Mode ->
EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve -N18


- Valve must click.


NOTE: It is difficult to hear valve click because of masking effect of engine noise. Determine valve operation by feel (touching).


If valve does not click
- Check EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve and Mass Air Flow sensor function. Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor, Checking
- Press -> button.

Display will appear as shown

Output Diagnostic Test Mode ->
A/C compressor interruption


- A/C compressor shut-off is checked.
- This test step is also called up on vehicles without A/C.
- The A/C compressor must stop within 5 secs. (visual check) then start approx. every 5 secs. and then stop.

If A/C compressor not switched OFF
- Check A/C compressor cut-off
- Press -> button

Display will appear as shown

Output Diagnostic Test Mode ->
Fuel cut-off valve -N109


- Engine must stop running

If NO
- Switch OFF ignition.
- Unscrew Fuel shut-off valve and remove any foreign material. (item 14).
- Repeat Output Diagnostic Test Mode

If engine will not stop
- Replace fuel cut-off valve.
- Continue Output Diagnostic Test Mode with engine stopped and ignition switched ON.
- Press -> button.

Display will appear as shown

Output Diagnostic Test Mode ->
Wastegate bypass regulator valve N75


- Solenoid valve must click.


NOTE: Valve clicking is difficult to hear and is best checked by touching.


If solenoid valve does not click
- Check Wastegate bypass regulator valve - N75-. Boost Pressure Control, Checking
- Press -> button.

Output Diagnostic Test Mode ->
Glow plug relay -J52


- Relay must click.
- Production number on reverse side of relay must be "180".
- Relay ON and OFF switching can also be inferred by observing the interior light becoming brighter and darker as a result of glow plug power consumption.

If relay does not click
- Check Glow Plug Relay -J52-.

If relay clicks:
- Disconnect Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor -G62-.
- Switch ignition ON.
- Wait 20 seconds for Glow Plug Indicator Light -K29- to go OFF.
- Check DTC memory. Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes

If only DTC 00522 appears, Glow Plug Relay - J52- is OK.
- Check and erase DTC Memory. Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes
- Continue test.

If DTC 01050 also appears, Glow Plug Relay - J52- is faulty.
- Replace Glow Plug Relay -J52-.
- Check and erase DTC Memory. Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes
- Set Readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
