Fault text
Valvetronic, thermal overload protection: warning threshold
Fault description
VVT-Overload Protection Temperature Too High
Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
The temperature of the VVT driver circuit in the DME is monitored, and the system responds to overheating by reverting to VVT emergency mode operation - the vehicle continues to operate, but in throttled mode. Incorrect use of the pedal-position sensor, consisting of rapid, repeated pressure extending over several minutes heats up the VVT driver circuit in the DME, leading to its deactivation when it reaches a critical level.
Terminal condition: Terminal 15 ON Voltage condition:
none
Condition for fault memory entry
after Terminal 15 switch and/or always active if DME is awake.
VVT driver circuit in the DME: Warning threshold 112 锟斤拷C
Action in service
If no tampering/abuse can be detected the following tests should be carried out:
Check for correct reluctor attachment at VVT sensor.
Use tester to manually activate the E-box fan for acoustic check.
DME installed according to specification and check to verify installation of spacer plate (to guide airflow in E- Box).
Check wiring harness between VVT motor and DME for soft shorts between the two VVT motor wires and vehicle ground
Defective VVT servo motor (for instance, interturn short circuit)
Replace servo motor and determine whether malfunction is still present (Clear fault memory / switch terminals on ignition)
If malfunction is still present, replace DME.
