Diagnostics of malfunctions of knots and car systems

The owners of cars who are carrying out procedures of routine maintenance of a vehicle it agrees given in Head of Control and routine maintenance of the car of the real Management of the schedule will be extremely seldom 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 of the materials of details worn out and failed as a result of aging the probability of their sudden refusal is smallest. Refusals seldom occur spontaneously and usually are a consequence a time of long development of defect. In particular, failure of mechanical components practically always is preceded by emergence and evolution of the characteristic symptoms which are showing sometimes for many thousand kilometers of run to the full. The same components which can fail unexpectedly, usually are not vital for functioning of the main knots and car systems, or are easily replaced in road conditions. A fundamental step at identification of the reasons of any refusal is the choice of a point of the beginning of searches. Often the reason appears lying on a surface, 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 call such approach reasonable, in view of its labor input and aimlessness of expenses of time and means. The quiet logic approach to search of the failed knot or a component appears much more effective. 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 meeting refusals is provided in this subsection. The reasons of violations and their symptoms are grouped in a sign of the relation to functioning of any concrete unit or system: "Engine", «Cooling system» etc.

Regardless of the refusal nature in a basis of investigation of its reason identical base principles are always put:

Make sure of correctness of definition of symptoms of refusal. Told means confidence of delimitation of the area of searches that is especially important with the help in refusal diagnostics to other motorist who cannot adequately 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. Similarly, replacement of the spark plugs thrown by oil will allow to restore for some time serviceability of functioning of the engine, however refusal by all means will soon repeat (if the reason lay not simply in application of candles not that type).

Do not take on trust any statements! Remember that recently established "new" component also 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 surface from the very beginning.

Problem diagnostics and reasons of decrease in efficiency of return of the engine

The engine is not turned in attempt of its start

· The ignition switch is faulty.
· Polar plugs of the battery are oxidized, or weakened fastening of tips of wires on them.
· The battery is discharged or faulty.
· Serviceability of functioning of system of a charge is broken.
· It is torn off, or electroconducting of a chain of system of start is otherwise damaged, or weakened fastening of plugs of contact connections.
· The traction relay or the starter switch failed.
· The starter electromotor is faulty.
· A teeth of a driving gear wheel of a starter or a gear wreath of a flywheel are broken off or worn-out.
· The driving gear wheel of a starter is jammed in a gear wreath of a flywheel.
· The sensor switch of permission of start (model with AT) or the sensor switch of disconnection of a chain of a starter (model with RKPP) is faulty
· AT is not transferred to the situation "R" or "N".
· The engine is jammed (is jammed cranked or a camshaft, or there was a zalipaniye any of pistons on a wall of the cylinder), – try to turn it manually for a bolt of a pulley of a cranked shaft.

The engine is turned, but not started

Petrol models

· Start is incorrectly made. Act as follows:

  1. Cock the parking brake;
  2. Include neutral transfer (RKPP) / transfer the selector lever to the situation "R" or "N" (AT);
  3. Without squeezing out a gas pedal, turn a key in the ignition lock to the right against the stop. As soon as the engine will be started, at once release a key. If start of the heated-up engine is not possible to make at a provorachivaniye it a starter more than 4 seconds, it is necessary to squeeze out a gas pedal slowly. Do not turn the engine more than 30 seconds in a row, before repeated attempt wait not less than 15 seconds;
  4. At unstable turns (for example, at ignition admissions) in order to avoid failure of the catalytic converter try to turn on the engine only for short time and do not allow strong loadings, immediately drive away the car on HUNDRED companies Toyotas;
  5. In areas where the temperature of external air often falls below - 20°С, installation of a heater of cooling liquid is recommended, the reference on this matter can be received on any HUNDRED Toyotas.

· The engine immobilizator is faulty or is not disconnected.

  3. Turn a key in the ignition lock in situation II, on an instrument guard the control lamp of preheat (see appropriate section the Instrument guard and signaling devices) should light up. Start of the engine should be carried out not earlier than the control lamp will go out, without including onboard consumers of the electric power and without squeezing out a gas pedal, turn a key in the lock to the right against the stop.

    At temperature of external air is lower - 10°С it is necessary to squeeze out also against the stop a gas pedal.

    Continue to turn the engine a starter until its turns are not stabilized, however no more than 30 seconds. Before restart after unsuccessful attempt do not forget to return at first a key to situation 0 and to wait not less than 15 seconds;
  4. Watch the index of pressure of impellent oil: the indicator of pressure should be activated at once after start. At strong cooling of the engine indication of pressure appears only after a while after start. Do not increase number of turns of the engine, indication of pressure of oil yet is not activated;
  5. If the control lamp of preheat does not light up, malfunction in system of preheat which should be immediately eliminated on HUNDRED Toyotas takes place;
  6. In areas where the temperature of external air often falls below - 20°С, installation of a heater of cooling liquid is recommended. On this matter you can receive the reference on any HUNDRED Toyotas.
