Fault description
The diagnostic function determines whether a valid travel
limit is reached during initialization of the Valvetronic
system.

Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
In order to initialize the Valvetronic system, each time the
DME control module wakes up, and each time terminals are
changed on the DME, the upper travel stop is relearned. This
fault is logged when the system fails to recognize the travel
stop correctly.
Potential problem source(s):
- Valvetronic system travel stops damaged
- Stiction in the Valvetronic system
Terminal condition: Terminal 15
Voltage condition:
- Onboard electrical system voltage between 9 V and 16 V
Temperature condition:
- Engine warmed to normal temp, above 80 °C
Time condition:
- None
Other conditions:
- Initialization of Valvetronic systems

Condition for fault memory entry
none

Action in service
- Check travel stops in cylinder head and on the eccentric
shaft
- Inspect Valvetronic system to verify correct installation
and freedom of movement

Fault effect and breakdown warning
Breakdown notice:
Continued driving is usually not possible.
Possible apparent symptoms:
Once the VVT has reached its emergency running position,
unlimited throttled operation is possible.
If it fails to reach the emergency running position, results
ranging from a power loss to breakdown vehicle can occur
depending on the VVT position that the system does reach.
