Diagnostics of malfunctions of knots and car systems

The owners of cars who are carrying out procedures of routine maintenance of the car Routine maintenance of the real Management to graphics extremely seldom agrees given in Head will be compelled to address to materials of this section. Reliability of knots and the components established on modern cars is so high that at timely performance of replacement worn out and failed as a result of aging of a material of details the probability of their sudden refusal is smallest. Refusals extremely seldom occur spontaneously and usually of defect development (sometimes long) are a consequence. In particular, refusal of mechanical components is preceded always by emergence and development of the characteristic symptoms which are showing sometimes for many thousand kilometers of 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 car systems, 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 appears rather obvious, however in certain cases it is necessary to work, making small investigation. The motorist who has made half-dozens of casual checks, replacements and corrections quite has chance to find a cause of failure (or its symptom), however in any way it is impossible to consider such approach reasonable, in view of its labor input and aimlessness of expenses of time and means. There is a quiet logic approach to search of the failed knot or a component much more effectively. Surely it is necessary to take into consideration everything preceding breakage, sometimes insignificant, symptoms and guarding signals, such as loss of capacity 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 the hidden violation.

Below rather simple scheme of diagnostics of most often occurring refusals is provided in this section. 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 the sections of the Management concerning functioning of components suspected of malfunction are given.
Regardless of the refusal nature identical base principles are put in a basis of investigation of its reason:

- Make sure of correctness of definition of symptoms of refusal. This means confidence of delimitation of the area of searches that is especially important with the help in refusal diagnostics to other motorist, which unable adequately to state symptoms of taking place violation.

- Try not to look through obvious violations. For example, if the engine is not started, do not hesitate to check availability of fuel in a fuel tank (thus it is not necessary to take on trust statements of the owner of the faulty car). In default electric equipments first of all it is necessary to check a condition and reliability of fastening of terminal connections of electroconducting, after it it is meaningful to get diagnostic devices.

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

- Do not take on trust any statements. Remember that the "new" component itself can appear 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 the made recommendation, when the cause of failure revealed at last will appear lying on a look from the very beginning.

Diagnostics of malfunctions of automatic transmission

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

Leakages of ATF

• ATF usually has dark color. It is not necessary to confuse traces of its leak to those from impellent oil - the last can communicate on a case of transmission by a running stream of air.
• 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 greasing (use a qualitative obezzhirivatel or execute steam cleaning of the unit). Make on the car a short trip with low speed of movement (that traces of leak did not communicate far from its source). To Poddomkratta the car also establish it on props. Examine a transmission case, visually revealing sources of leakage of ATF. Most often as those act:

- The pallet of a case of transmission (see. Head Routine maintenance and section Automatic transmission)
- A directing tube measuring щупа (see. Head Routine maintenance and 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 as ashes

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

Common problems with a 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. Most common problems which can appear connected with violation of adjustment of a driving cable below are listed:
- The engine is started in situation, distinct from "R" or “N”;
- The provision of transmission highlighted on the display panel differs from the actually chosen;
- The car is actuated at the transmission established in the situation "R" or "N";
- There are difficulties with a choice or gear shifting.
• The description of 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 on a low gear (Kick-Down mode) at complete squeezing of a pedal of gas.
• ATF level (address to Head Routine maintenance) fell.
• Adjustment of a driving cable of a choice of transfers (is broken see. Automatic transmission).

The engine is not started, or the R or “N” is started in the provision of transmission, excellent from“

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

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

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

Diagnostics of malfunctions of power shafts

Diagnostics of malfunctions of brake system

Before coming to conclusion about refusal of brake system check a condition 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 shtutserny connections of hydraulic tubes and hoses, should be made at car repair shop.
