Operation - PMS PMS
Foreword
The Multi-Tester plus/pro software cassette is the component that gives
the diagnostic equipment its unique test characteristics: the software cassette
stores all data required to allow the test system to operate.
The software cassette can be replaced easily, enabling the Multi-Tester plus/pro
to be adapted to the troubleshooting job at hand rapidly.
These Troubleshooting Instructions describe how to use the equipment on
Bosch or Siemens fuel injection systems type PMS.
The Multi-Tester plus/pro checks all input and output signals that have
bearing on the control system and can also diagnose a faulty control unit.

STARTING THE PROGRAM PMS
Starting the program

General
The program is re-started each time the power supply is interrupted and
re-connected. When the supply is interrupted any faults and pre-sets recorded
in memory are deleted.
At any particular moment, those keys which are not required are disabled.
If such a key is pressed, the unit emits a long beep signal.
The program starts automatically when the Multi-Tester plus/pro is connected
to the power supply. The unit executes steps 1 to 3 and pauses at step 5.
Working procedure
1. All fields in the display are tested
(i.e. are illuminated)
(Multi-Tester plus only). MULTI-TESTER plus
If no software cassette is installed or
the cassette is incorrect, only the first
and third row become illuminated.
At this point the display’s contrast can
be adjusted. Adjust the potentiometer

PMS PROGRAMS AND TESTS
Programs and tests

The following types of test are available:
Monitor test Directs and displays the control system’s signals without
storing measured values.
Running test Records and stores faults which occur under both shorter
and longer test periods.
Edit Can be used to disable fault detection on various signals.
Special tests A number of tests which are carried out in response to
independent signals.
Monitor test
General
In Monitor test, values such as engine speed and coolant temperature are
displayed.
Monitor test – with fault detection
This test is used to detect incorrect input and output signals to/from the
various control systems. An fault is recorded if a signal deviates from its
pre-programmed standard value. The fault is recorded until it is deleted
manually or the power supply is interrupted.
• Up to five faults can be recorded each time Running is executed.
• Each primary fault can lead to a number of secondary faults.
• The Multi-Tester plus/pro stores all faults (primary and secondary)
temporarily and offers an assessment of which is the primary fault.
This is important in order to carry out repair work. Fault information
is saved and displayed.
• The same fault cannot be recorded twice in succession.
• Order of priority of fault registration:
1. Power supply
2. Frame connections to the control system
3. Sensor signals which affect the basic functions of the engine
4. Other signals
Warning! If the display is to be read whilst driving the test should
be performed by two people.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING PROCEDURE PMS
Trouble-Shooting Procedure
General
Many faults can be detected by using the Multi-Tester plus/pro (with the
appropriate software cassette) only. As an additional aid, each software
cassette has a dedicated troubleshooting manual.
However, when troubleshooting, the following points should be observed:
• Faults of intermittent character, e.g. faulty switch contacts, are often
difficult to observe in the workshop. In such cases, those components
which are considered potential causes of the fault should be swapped
out, each in turn, followed on each occasion with a test drive with the
Multi-Tester plus/pro connected.
• NB: the fault rate for control units is relatively low. More likely causes
of failure are harness connectors, cabling, sensors or switches.
• Whenever resistance or voltage supply measurements are being taken at
the harness connector by the control unit, the Autodiagnos Break-out Box
(A0201/A0202) and associated Break-out Box adapter should be used to
avoid destroying the harness connector’s sheathing. This is to ensure
good electrical contact and to avoid damage to or a short circuit across
the harness connector’s sheathing.
The troubleshooting manuals include two chapters important to trouble-
shooting.
The Fault Tracing chapter includes a brief signal description for each pin
and three columns (the pin number means the number in the control unit’s
harness connector). The three columns enumerate the quantities to be
checked by the various tests. In the rightmost column the corresponding
section in the Locating Faults chapter is also included (see figure below).

Check of ground connection to PMS, pin F1, F5, F9 and M9
These contacts are the control unit’s ground connection.
1. Disconnect the two 17-pin connectors from the control unit. Connect the
Break-out Box (A0201/A0202) and the adapter (A020230) to the car’s
wiring harness only. Do not reconnect the control unit.
2. Measure the resistance between the Break-out Box, pin F1, F5, F9
respectively M9 and ground. Desired value: 0 Ω
Possible cause of fault: Wiring or connectors.
2
Check of power supply from ignition switch (terminal 15) to
PMS, pin F2
This is an input signal to the control unit from the ignition switch.
It indicates that the ignition is on.
1. Turn on the ignition and measure the voltage at the ignition coil’s positive
pole (terminal 15). Desired value: 12–14 V
Possible cause of fault: Wiring, connectors or ignition switch.
2. Turn the ignition off and disconnect the two 17-pin connectors from the
control unit. Connect the Break-out Box (A0201/A0202) and the adapter
(A020230) to the car’s wiring harness only. Do not reconnect the control
unit.
3. Measure the resistance of the cable between the Break-out Box, pin F2
and ignition switch, pin 15. Desired value: 0 Ω
Note
The terminal 15 supply provides the stop signal for the Multi-Tester plus/pro
test program. This means that an absent signal is interpreted as a stopped
engine. Nevertheless, a faulty signal will be detected at the start of the test.

Check of signal from lambda sensor to PMS, pin F6
This is an input signal to the control unit from the lambda sensor.
It is only found on cars fitted with catalytic converters and is used for
the fine adjustment of the ratio of fuel to air to approx. 1:14.6 (by weight).
This ratio is called lambda = 1.
The following test conditions must be met as the Multi-Tester plus/pro
checks that the lambda sensor signal level lies between 0 and 1 V:
• engine temperature must exceed +70°C
• the engine must not be idling – some sensors cool down after long
periods of idling and oscillation ceases.
• the engine must not be at full throttle – the sensor signal then
becomes constant at approx. 1V.
• Fuel cut-off should not be activated – the sensor signal then becomes
constant at approx. 0 V
• Engine speed below 2.500 rpm.
1. Check the sensor’s pre-heating (if fitted) by measuring the voltage at the
sensor connector while the engine is running. Desired value: 12 V
2. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and maintain engine
speed at approximately 2.500 rpm. Execute the LAMBDA SENSOR special
test and confirm that the lambda sensor signals fluctuate between 0 and 1
V. The signal should oscillate about once a second. Oscillations of longer
duration indicate that the sensor may be polluted and should be replaced.
3. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the two 17-pin connectors from the
unit.
4. Measure the resistance between the Break-out Box, pin F6 and ground.
If the reading is approximately 0 Ω the sensor has short-circuited and is
no longer functioning. Repeat the measurement at the sensor connector
to determine whether the short circuit is in the sensor or the cable
between the sensor and the control unit.

the Break-out Box (A0201/A0202) and the adapter (A020230) between
the car’s wiring harness and the control unit.
2. Measure the resistance between the Break-out Box, pin F7 and ground.
Desired value: 0 Ω
5
Check of control signal to fuel pump relay from PMS, pin F8
This is a control signal from the control unit. The signal is grounded to activate
the pump relay after the engine has been turned over by the starter motor.
There are several possible causes for an absent signal including:
• Discontinuity in the wiring or connectors.
• A defective or absent main input signal to the system, such as:
– ground connection
– power supply
– crankshaft sensor
• Faulty control unit, although this is most unlikely as the failure rate for
control units is very low.
2. Measure the resistance of the cable between the Break-out Box, pin F8
and fuel pump relay pin 3 (see workshop manual). Desired value: 0 Ω
3. Connect the Break-out Box and the adapter (A020230) between the car’s
wiring harness and the control unit.
4. Turn on the ignition and measure the voltage between the Break-out

the battery to maintain retention of those presets the control unit has “learnt”.
2. Measure the resistance between the Break-out Box, pin F10 and the
battery’s positive pole. Desired value: 0 Ω
Possible cause of fault: Wiring, connectors or fuse.
3. Measure the voltage between the battery’s positive pole and ground.

PMS, pin F13
This is an output signal from the control unit indicating engine speed for
the car’s tachometer, for example.
1. Disconnect the two 17-pin connectors from the control unit and connect
the car’s wiring harness and the control unit.
2. Start the engine and check (use oscilloscope or similar) that pulses are
received at the Break-out Box, pin F13.
Possible cause of fault: Wiring, connectors or control unit
8
Check of control signal to the injection valve from PMS,
pin M4
This is an output signal from the control unit to the injection valve which
controls fuel metering.
1. Turn on the ignition and measure the power supply to the injection
valve. Desired value: 12–14 V
Possible cause of fault: Wiring, connectors or the injection relay.

LOCATING FAULTS PMS
2. Check the opening pulse by measuring the voltage across the injection
valves with a test lamp (measure from the rear of one of the connectors
on any injector). At low rpm the lamp should flash; it should shine with
even intensity at higher rpm. If incorrect:
– disconnect the two 17-pin connectors from the control unit. Connect
the car’s wiring harness and the control unit. Repeat corresponding
measurement between the Break-out Box, pin M4 and F10.
Note
It is possible that the Multi Tester plus/pro reports an error for an injector
when an ignition coil is faulty, this is because the electronic control unit
automatically shuts down the corresponding injector signal to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter.
3. In the case of a suspected discontinuity between PMS, pin M4 and the
injector, make the following measurement:
– turn off the ignition and disconnect the connector from the control
unit. Measure the resistance between the Break-out Box, pin M4 and
the terminal on the injector’s connector (see workshop manual).
4. Measure the resistance across each individual injector with the injector
connector terminal removed (i.e. directly on the injectors).
Possible cause of fault: Injector.
Note
The test is discontinued during fuel cut-off.
Injector failure can also have a mechanical cause (lining, etc.). Such faults
are not registered by the Multi-Tester plus/pro. In such a case, a flow check
must be carried out on each injector.

Check of control signal to idle speed correction valve from
PMS, pin M5 and M14
The idle speed correction valve (ISR or ISC) is controlled by an output
signal from the control unit which operates a coil in the correction valve. The
signal has a constant frequency of 400 HZ and the pulse ratio varies between
approx. 25 % and 75 %. When this value increases, rpm increases, for example
when the engine is cold or when the AC compressor is switched on.
2. Disconnect the connector from the ISC valve. Measure the resistance of
the cable between the Break-out Box, pin M5 and the connector, pin 4
(see workshop manual). Desired value: 0 Ω
3. Measure the resistance of the cable between the Break-out Box, pin M14
