ELECTRIC FLARE DEVICE (EFD)

The EFU spark plug is faulty, the 30A fuse-link is burning

- Closing the thermal relay spiral or electrical wires

If the spark plugs are in good condition, disconnect the wire connecting it to the ECU power button from the thermal relay.

The absence of a short circuit when the ECU is turned on again indicates a short circuit of the thermal relay spiral. In this case, the thermal relay should be replaced.

If the thermal relay spiral is intact (determined by touch) and a short circuit occurs when the wires are disconnected from the spark plugs, then this indicates a short circuit in the electrical wires. Eliminate short circuit.

- Spark plug shorted to ground

Disconnect the wire from the left spark plug terminal, eliminating contact of the tip with ground, and turn on the EPI again. If shorted, disconnect the wire from the right spark plug terminal.

The absence of closure indicates the closure of the right candle. Replace the failed spark plug.

After eliminating the short circuit, it is recommended to check the condition of the insulation of the electrical wires, the operability of the thermal relay and the ECU turn-on relay, and if the short circuit occurs when starting the engine, the operability of the shunt relay

The ECU does not work, voltage does not flow to the ECU

- Thermal relay burnout

Turn on the ECU and check the voltage at the thermal relay terminals. The absence of voltage at the terminal on the side of the plug connection while there is voltage at the other terminal indicates a burnt-out spiral. Replace the thermostat.

- Burnt out spark plugs or lack of contact in the circuit

Turn on the EPI and check if there is voltage at the terminals of each EPI product, starting with the flare spark plugs. The presence of voltage at the terminal of the right spark plug indicates burnout of the spark plugs. Replace spark plugs or restore contact.

- Burnout of one of the candles

Turn on the EFU for 10-15 s, then replace ь cold candle.

No candle torch

- Lack of fuel supply to the spark plug

Loosen the fuel supply fitting on the spark plug. Turn on the ECU and after the indicator light comes on (opening of the solenoid valve), crank

using a starter, the crankshaft. If fuel does not leak through a loose threaded connection of the fitting when the valve is open, troubleshoot the fuel supply system.

- Failure of fuel to pass through the spark plug

Unscrew the spark plug from the manifold. Wash and blow out the nozzle, fuel filter and fuel supply cavities with compressed air. Check for the presence of a torch flame, for which:

  • - connect the fuel pipe and electrical wires to the spark plug;
  • - ensure a reliable connection of the spark plug body to ground and make sure that the terminal is isolated from ground;
  • - turn on the ECU and use the starter to turn the crankshaft.

If there is no flame, replace the faulty spark plug.
