Test sequence
- Disconnect harness connector for Pump-Injector Unit from cylinder head. Refer to item 10 in Component Locations, overview (vehicles with engine code BEW)Β .
- Check resistance of Pump-Injector Unit valves between connector terminals.
Cyl. 1: Terminals 7 + 5
Cyl. 2: Terminals 7 + 3
Cyl. 3: Terminals 7 + 2
Cyl. 4: Terminals 7 + 6
Specified value: 0.1 to 1.0 Ξ©
- Check wires for short circuit to each other as well as to vehicle Ground (GND).
Specified value: β Ξ©
If specified value is obtained:
- Check wires to control module according to wiring diagram. Refer to Check wires to control moduleΒ .
If specified value is not obtained:
- Remove upper toothed belt guard and cylinder head cover.
- Pry off connectors of all 4 pump-injector units using a screwdriver. In order to avoid canting, support opposite side of connector with light finger pressure.
- Check resistance of Pump-Injector Unit valves between connector terminals at Pump-Injector Unit valves.
Specified value: approx. 0.5 Ξ©
If specified value is not obtained:
- Replace malfunctioning Valve for pump/injector, cylinder 1 -N240- to Valve for pump/injector, cylinder 4 -N243-. Refer to Pump-Injector Unit, removing and installingΒ , removing and installing Pump-Injector Unit.
