DME control unit error diagnosis

DME control unit error diagnosis 944 S
as from 88 model


As from model year 88, the DME control unit
944 S is capable of a self-diagnosis. That is to
say, the control unit is capable of detecting,
storing and displaying system errors. The con-
trol unit capable of diagnosis is identified by
an altered part number. A specially developed
diagnostic tester (special tool No. 9268) is
then used to read out the error memory and
to test specific components and control sig-
nals af the fuel and ignition system.


The DME control unit for 944 S
87/793


Important: Before diagnosis, the battery or
the connector of the DME control unit must
not be disconnected as otherwise the error
memory will be erased.

Actuator and input signal function
checking


An actuator and input signal function check
can be carried out independently of an error
diagnosis. This function check tests individual
components or electrical signals with respect
to their functioning or signal paths. Functions
ara triggered from the diagnosis tester. During
functional checking of components, these
must audibly or tangibly operate and can thus
be detected as being electrically in proper
working order or defective.

An error display via the tester is not possible in
this mode, but faulty input signals or their
wiring connection ara detected by the tester.

Knock detection

Before knock detection is carried out, error
diagnosis must first of all be performed to
guarantee that no electrical error has occurred
in the area of the knock control and the knock
sensors.

Knock detection should not be carried out if
the customer has complained about poor out-
put or too high a consumption, for instance.

Condition:

The engine most be at operating temperature
during the test. Testing most be carried out
during a test drive or on the roller test stand.

24/28 Fuel System - Electronic Control 944 S/944 S2



Precautions

Greater demands of modern engines on the ignition systems and a desire for freedom from maintenance had led to the introduction of electronic ignition systems in standard production some time ago already. Normally the ignition power of electronic systems (almost all makes) will be greater than that of conventional systems and evan greater power can be expected in the future. This places electronic ignition systems in a power range, where touching current carrying parts or terminats could be dangerous to lite (both primary and secondary circuits).

In conjunction with this matter we must point out that there must always be conformance with safety regulations and legislation of a pertinent country when working on or testing ignition systems. The ignition (ignition or source of power) must always be switched off when working on the ignition system.
Sample Jobs:

Connecting engine testers, for example:
timing light, dwell angle/speed tester, oscilloscope, etc..

Replacing ignition components, for example:
spark plugs, ignition coil, distributor, ignition leads, etc..

The above mentioned dangerous voltage will be present in the entire system should it be necessary to switch on the ignition for ignition tests or engine adjustments.

Consequently there is not onty danger on the various components of an ignition system (such as, for example, distributor, ignition coil, control units, ignition tackle), but also on wire harnesses, plug connections and testers.

Printed In Germany - XXI, 1989
944 S/944 S2 Fuel System - Electronic Control 24/28



Important Vehicle Information

Always turn off the ignition or disconnect the battery for resistance tests (if not, the tester could be destroyed).

Always disconnect the speed sender plug for compression tests (if not, there could be dangerous high tension and damaged insulation on the ignition coil, high tension distributor and ignition leads).

Never replace a specified ignition coil (see order number) with a different ignition coil.

Never connect a suppression capacitor on ignition coil terminals 1 and 15.

Never connect ignition coil terminal 1 on ground for the burglar alarm (ignition coil and control unit could be destroyed).

Never connect battery + or a test lamp on ignition coil terminal 1 (control unit could be destroyed).

Never disconnect the ignition lead between ignition coil terminal 4 and high tension distributor terminal 4 during operation.

Avoid voltage flashover from ignition coil terminal 4 to ignition coil terminals 1 and 15 (control unit could be destroyed).

To avoid destruction of the control unit, the secondary circuit of the ignition system must be suppressed with at least 4 k-ohms, whereby the original distributor rotor with 1 k-ohm suppression resistance must be installed.

Disconnect DME control unit and ignition final stage plugs only atter turning off the ignition.

Flashover or disruptive discharge in the area of the high tension distributor cap (poor insulation) could destroy the control unit.

Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.

Mixing up battery pole connections could lead to destruction of the ignition final stage, ignition coil and DME control unit.

Outside starting of the engine with more than 16 volts or a boost battery charger is forbidden.

Always conform with accident prevention regulations when working on fuel systems.

Equipnient Required for DME Tests:

-   Diagnostics tester 9288 (9268) with connecting leads

-   1 oscilloscope approved by Porsche

-   1 digital display multimeter with an internal resistance of at least 10 M-ohms

-   1 Bosch L-Jetronic test lead, Bosch No. 1684 463 093 (check read for correct polarity in plugs)

-   2 control unit plug test leads (local manufacture) fitted with 2 flat male plugs, 'N 17.457.2, in order to avoid damage on plug pins in the control unit plug while testing

-   2 adapter test leads, consisting of 4 plug connectors, N 017.483.1, soldered with 2 approx. 150 mm lang leads

-   1 three-pin test lead (e.g. VW VAG 1501)

-   2 control unit plug test leads (local manufacture) fitted with 4 flat male plugs, N 17.457.2

Test leads must always be used for testing!
     
-   All sender and ignition timing signals of Porsche models can be checked with the engine reglers recommended by Porsche. Instructions for connection of testers on a car will be different depending on the make, so that it will always be necessary to conform with the instructions supplied with a pertinent tester.

Sender Signals Which Can Be Checked With An Oscilloscope:

-   Speed sender signal

-   Injection () signals

-   Idle speed control activation signal

-   Hall sender signal

-   Ignition trigger signal to ignition final stage

-   Tank venting activation signal

as well as:

-   Reed switch signal (speedometer)

-   ABS wheel sensor signals

Diagnosable DME Control Unit

Self-diagnosis with a fault memory, with which it is possible to detect and store certain injection. ignition and knock regulating system faults, is integrated in the DME control unit of 944 S cars beginning with 1988 models.

The DME control unit has a permanent positive connection to prevent cancellation of detected and stored faults by turning off the ignition. Detected faults remain stored in the memory for at least 50 engine starts (exception: idle speed switch interruption faults).

Important!
If the DME control unit plug or battery is disconnected, the fault memory and system adaptation will be cancelled.

Tester Connections:

A 12-pin plug, which leads out of the DME wire harness in the passenger's footwell to the right above the DME control unit, is provided for diagnosing in cars since 1988 models. 9268 Flashing Code Testers can be connected on this plug.

A 19-pin plug replaces the 12-pin plug beginning with 1990 (L) models. Either a 9288 System Tester or the Flashing Code Tester (via adapter leads 9268/2) can be connected on this plug. Operation of the testers is explained in the instructions supplied with the testers.

Note:
A pertinent test point is supplemented by a corresponding fault flashing code of Tester 9268.

Example:
Test Point 2 = idle speed contact (1-12)
Second digit display:

D 24/28 - 5
24/28 Fuel System - Electronic Control 944 S/944 S2



This DME 944 S Diagnosing/Troubleshooting Plan is based on the contents of the fault memory.

Paths not included in self-diagnosis can be diagnosed with conventional equipment (Test Points 17-25. see Fault List).

Troubleshooting requires that the person performing the tests

is familiar with the location of components, the function and technical interconnections of the systems being tested (model information).

can read and evaluate Porsche wiring diagrams.

knows the functions of circuits and relays, and

is capable of using testers, such as the oscilloscpe, voltmeter, ohmmeter and ammeter, as well as evaluating the test results.

Important!

A fault text in the display (Fault List and Flashing Code) does not always indicate a fault in the pertinent component, but could also concern the corresponding control unit or connecting leads (paths) between the component and control unit.

Troubleshooting on a running engine in the form of disconnection of plugs, etc. must not be carried out prior to reading the fault memory, since such action could be stored as faults in the fault memory.

9288 System Tester Information

Displayed in Tester

Fault does not exist, this could mean:

Fault not existing at time of testing (loose contact).
Remedy: visual inspection of path (connection).

Conditions, with which the fault is tested. ara not the same as the conditions, with which the fault had occurred.
Remedy: conform with conditions displayed in the tester.


Signal Not Plausible:

Signal of the monitored component does not fit in the tolerance range of the value calculated in the control unit.

Break ( ):

DME control unit of the 944 S selects a resistance value, which is stored in the control unit's memory and is approximately equal to that of an engine at operating temperature. There is no enrichment from a faulty NTC II when the engine is warm (emergency running program). This results in starting problems when the engine is cold (no cold start enrichment).

Short (0 ):

No engine pickup, too lean and stopping of engine in cold state. No effects in operating temperature state.

Replacement value is applicable to both types of fault!

  Checking: Pull off plugs on diagnosable control units one after the other until there is
> 8 V. Replace fault-eausing control unit.

-    Tester faulty.

- Power supply lacking on diagnostics socket.

- Ground supply lacking on diagnostics socket.

Information for idle speed and idle speed CO test:

a) Idle speed

944 S engines have adaptive idle speed volumetric efficiency regulation since 1987 modeIs. This means that the idle speed of all versions does not have to be adjusted. The system of cars with adaptive idle speed volumetric efficiency regulation should be adapted each time the DME control unit had been disconnected on permanent positive or after each inspection.

Idle speed control value for engine at operating temperature:
840 +- 40 rpm

b) Idle speed CO of cars without catalytic converter

CO level is still adjusted on the CO adjusting screw in the air flow sensor.
Requirements:
-    Engine at operating temperature.

- Engine and ignition in perfect running condition.

- All electric consumers switched off.

- CO tester at operating temperature, calibrated and adjusted correctly.

to avoid diffusion (see wiring diagram).

c) Idle speed CO of cars with catalytic
    converter


In addition to adaptation of the idle speed
there is also adaptation of the idle speed CO
level in these cars, so that it is only necessary
to check the actual state in such cars.
Requirements:
-    Engine at operating temperature.

- Engine and ignition in perfect running
condition.

- All electric consumers switched off.

- CO tester at operating temperature,
calibrated and adjusted correctly.

- Oxygen sensor plug connected.



Test value: 0.4 - 1.2 % CO

Check-Engine Lamp

(Malfunction Indicator Light M.I.L)

As from model year '91, Califomian legislation prescribes a waming lamp which lights up if a part relevant to the exhaust gas fails.

As a function check of the warning lamp, it lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out once the engine is running when this is started without depressing the accelerator.

The waming lamp has a flashing code to indicate a defective fault path.

To trigger off the flashing code, fully depress the accelerator pedal with the engine off and the ignition on for 3 seconds until the Malfunction Indicator Lamp flashes. Then remove foot from accelerator.

If no fault is recorded, i.e. no warning came from the indicator light, there appears the flashing code

      1500
no fault.


= Lamp on     o = Lamp off

If the waming light did indicate a warning, i.e. there is a fault, there appears a flashing code, e.g.


      1124
Oxygen sensor


The flashing code is listed in the Diagnosing/Troubleshooting plan on page D 24/28-7.
The fault can also be read direct using System Tester 9288. After a repair the fault memory must be erased using the System Tester.
