Due to modified friction when the fuel injectors are opened and closed (Y76) (wear), a longer or shorter actuation results via the runtime. Zero quantity calibration is carried out in overrun mode, when the lowest fuel quantity is injected. In this phase the deviating amount (drift) is detected by the CDI control unit (N3/9) (actual value). The specified value is stored in the CDI control unit. The corrected actuation period is calculated from the difference by the CDI control unit.

The CDI control unit analyzes information from the following sensors to do this:

  • O2 sensor upstream of the catalytic converter (G3/2), (except model 211.022/222 with code (498) Japan version) the drift is adjusted, the residual oxygen content in the exhaust reduces
  • O2 sensor downstream of the catalytic converter (G3/1), (model 211.022/222 with code (498) Japan version) the drift is adjusted, the residual oxygen content in the exhaust reduces
  • Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), if the drift is adjusted, the engine speed increases

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
