FAULT DIAGNOSIS Figure 9

With the Blink Code and fault-diagnosis instruments it is
possible to diagnose faults of an electrical nature and some
mechanical faults detected by the control unit.
Blink Code
With the EDC indicator light it is possible to receive
information on faults with the engine.
If the indicator light comes on during normal vehicle
operation, it means a fault has occurred that may be:

Indicator light on Serious trouble

steady Poor system operation.
Blinking indicator Extremely serious
light trouble
6679
Poor system operation.
Loss of one or more
safety functions and EDC FAULT-DIAGNOSIS BUTTON
possible engine STOP.

The fault code is given on the following pages.

The information on the type of fault occurring is given in the
form of a code by the EDC indicator light with a sequence of
long and short flashes (blink code).
For the test procedure you use the diagnosis button located
under the UCI door that also incorporates another EDC
indicator light in parallel with the one on the dashboard.
For example, the code 1.4 means the indicator light has
generated one long and four short blinks. The procedure
should be repeated until the code of the first fault indicated
is again shown.
Procedures to delete fault memory from driving

- Press the blink-code button (with key on stop).

- Turn key onto start while keeping the button pressed.
- Wait for 5 sec.

- Turn the key onto stop.
- Check deletion by reading the numbering with the test
button.

- Stop the vehicle and switch off the engine (STOP).

- Turn the ignition key onto MAR (indicator light panel on
and engine brake).
- Press the diagnosis button and check that the EDC
indicator light blinks once.
- After a short period during which the indicator light stays
off, it starts to flash first with long and then short blinks.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
Good diagnosis is made above all with the electronic diagnosis instruments developed by Iveco (Modus / IWT / IT2000).

When the vehicle comes into the garage, the information provided by the driver is given due consideration, but the first thing
to do is to hook up Modus / IWT / IT2000 and carefully run a full diagnosis:
G Reading fault memory
G Reading parameters
G Engine test
G Etc.

It is helpful to print out the results, especially if you need assistance from the Help Desk.
In this case, remember the Help Desk is obliged not to accept calls for assistance based solely on the Blink Code.

The Blink Code is a tool that in some cases may be helpful (vehicle broken down on the road, no Modus / IWT / IT2000), but
it must not substitute diagnosis with the Iveco instruments as it only gives indications.

Another factor that helps troubleshooting is experience.

To partly get round a repairer’s lack of experience on this new electronic system, as there are no previous systems to refer to,
on the following pages we have provided a TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE developed by our Training department together with
the experts who designed and developed the EDC MS 6.2 control unit.

However, we need to stress that not even the Troubleshooting guide is a substitute for the Modus / IWT / IT2000, but it is an
extra help because it is a distillation of the experience of those who already know the system in depth.

The Troubleshooting guide is composed of two separate sections:

G The first one for mechanical troubleshooting with the Blink Code concerns trouble that the MS6.3 control unit can identify
directly. This kind of trouble is chiefly of an electrical - electronic nature.
G The second one for mechanical troubleshooting by symptoms describes possible trouble that cannot be identified by the
electronic control unit. This kind of trouble is chiefly of a mechanical - hydraulic nature.

The Troubleshooting guide is not a substitute for diagnosis with the Iveco electronic fault-diagnosis instruments, but is intended
to supplement it.
