Citroën Xantia - the Repair manual and operation

1.11. Diagnostics of malfunctions of knots and systems of the car

The owners of cars performing procedures of routine maintenance of the car it agrees the present manual provided in the Head Routine maintenance to the schedule will be extremely seldom forced to address materials of this section. Reliability of the knots and components installed on modern cars is so high that at timely performance of replacement of the details which are worn out and failed as a result of aging of material the probability of their sudden refusal is extremely small. Refusals extremely seldom happen spontaneously and usually are a consequence of development of defect (sometimes long). In particular, the refusal of mechanical components is always preceded by emergence and development of the characteristic symptoms which are shown sometimes for many thousands of kilometers of a run to an exit of faulty knot out of operation. The same components which can fail unexpectedly usually are not vital for functioning of the main knots and systems of the car, or are easily replaced directly on the car in road conditions.

Fundamental step at identification of the reason of any refusal is the choice of a point of the beginning of searches. Often the reason is rather obvious, however in certain cases it is necessary to work, making small investigation. The motorist who produced half-dozens of casual checks of replacements and corrections quite has chance to find a cause of failure (or its symptom), however such approach cannot be considered reasonable, in view of its labor input and aimlessness of expenses of time and means in any way. There is a quiet logical approach to search of the failed knot or component much more effectively. Surely it is necessary to take into account everything preceding breakage, sometimes insignificant, symptoms and the guarding signals, such as loss of the power developed by the engine, change of indications of measuring instruments, emergence of unusual sounds and smells, etc. Do not forget that failure of such components as safety locks or spark plugs can be only a symptom more deeply of the hidden violation.

In this section rather simple scheme of diagnostics of the most often happening refusals is given below. The reasons of violations and their symptoms are grouped in a sign of their relation to functioning of any concrete unit or system, for example: Engine, Cooling system, etc. In brackets references to the corresponding Chapters and sections of the Management concerning functioning of the components suspected of malfunction are given.
Regardless of the refusal nature the identical basic principles are the basis for investigation of its reason:

- Make sure of correctness of definition of symptoms of refusal. This means confidence in delimitation of the area of searches that it is especially important with the help in refusal diagnostics to other motorist who is not able to state symptoms of the violation taking place adequately.

- Try not to miss obvious violations. For example, if the engine is not started, do not hesitate to check availability of fuel in a gasoline tank (at the same time it is not necessary to take on trust statements of the owner of the faulty car). In case of refusal electric equipments first of all it is necessary to check a state and reliability of fastening of terminal connections of an electrical wiring, only after it it makes sense to get diagnostic units.

- Try to remove a cause of failure, but not its symptom. Replacement of the discharged battery new will help to make start of the engine, however the reason of a discharge of the old battery taking place will remain not eliminated that will lead to bystry failure and new. Also replacement of the spark plugs (petrol engines) which are filled in with oil will allow to restore serviceability of functioning of the engine for some time, however its refusal by all means will soon repeat again (if the reason lay not just in application of candles not of that type).

- Do not take on trust any statements. Remember that the "new" component itself can be faulty, in particular, if it long time lay in a luggage carrier - it is not necessary to exclude a component from the list checked only for the reason that it is new or is recently established. In case of neglect it is not necessary to be surprised with implementation of this recommendation when the cause of failure established at last is lying on a look from the very beginning.

Diagnostics of malfunctions of automatic transmission

In view of complexity of a design of AT it will be difficult to average amateur mechanic to carry out enough precisely diagnostics of its refusals and recovery repair. In case of problems, excellent from listed below, the owner of the car should ask for the help experts of a workshop of car service. It is also not necessary to hurry with demontazhy faulty transmission as its many checks are made by in situ (on the regular place).

Leakages of ATF

• ATF usually has dark color. It is not necessary to confuse traces of its leak to those from motive oil - the last can communicate on a transmission case the running air stream.
• For identification of a source of leak, first of all, it is necessary to clear a case of transmission and surfaces surrounding it of dirt and lubricant (use qualitative degreaser or execute steam cleaning of the unit). Make on the car a short trip with a low speed of the movement (that traces of leak did not communicate far from its source). The car also establish to Poddomkratta it on props. Examine a transmission case, visually revealing leakage sources of ATF. Most often act as those:

- The transmission case pallet (see the Head Routine maintenance and the section Automatic transmission)
- The directing tube of the measuring probe (see the Head Routine maintenance and the section Automatic transmission)
- Tubes of connection of transmission with a cooler of ATF and their unions (see. Automatic transmission)

ATF has brown color or smells of ashes

• The ATF level fell in transmission, or liquid needs replacement (address the Head Routine maintenance).

Common problems with the choice of transfers take place

• In the section Automatic transmission procedures of check and adjustment of a driving cable of the selector of transfers of AT are described. The most common problems which can be connected with violation of adjustment of a driving cable are listed below:
- The engine is started in situation, excellent from "Р" or "N";
- The provision of transmission highlighted on the display panel differs from actually chosen;
- The car is set in motion at the transmission established in situation "P" or "N";
- There are difficulties with the choice or gear shifting.
• The description of the procedure of adjustment of a driving cable of the mechanism of the selector is provided in the section Automatic transmission.
- There is no automatic switching of transmission to a low gear (Kick-Down mode) at full squeezing of the accelerator pedal.
• The ATF level fell (address the Head Routine maintenance).
• Adjustment of a driving cable of the choice of transfers is broken (see. Automatic transmission).

The engine is not started, or started in the provision of transmission, excellent from "Р or "N"

• Adjustment of the sensor switch of permission of start is broken (see. Automatic transmission).
• Adjustment of a driving cable of the choice of transfers is broken (see. Automatic transmission).

Transmission "comes off" the chosen situation, switches hardly or with noise, or does not provide progress of the car forward or back

• There is a set of the possible reasons listed refusals however only one of them - violation of the ATF level gets to the sphere of competence of the average amateur mechanic. Check, in case of need make adjustment level/replacement of liquid and the filter, in parallel check a condition of ATF (address the Head Routine maintenance). In all other cases the car should be driven away for diagnostics and recovery repair / replacement of transmission in a workshop of car service.

Diagnostics of malfunctions of the brake system

Before coming to conclusion about failure of the brake system check a state and pressure of a rating of tires, and also uniformity of loading of the car. Diagnostics of any refusals of ABS, except for check of a condition of nipple connections of hydraulic tubes and hoses, has to be made at car repair shop.
