How to restore the performance of the N53 engine

In this entry: step-by-step recommendations for restoring the performance of the N53 engine.
Available diagnostics tool: ISTA D/+
Symptoms: increased fuel consumption, permanent vibration, uneven performance, low-quality idle.
Notes
1. If it is possible, use INPA for F series to diagnose these engines. Unfortunately, ISTA D/+ gives very limited information, which can be insufficient in some cases. The manufacturer of the car has decided to hide the information regarding its problems from the users of the car.
2. In this entry, the following case is described: no error messages in the DME error message memory (or there is a 12C401 error message if the NOXEM is installed), but the performance of the engine is unsatisfactory. In situations, when the error messages are recorded in the DME error message memory, use the option “Calculate test plan” of ISTA D/+ and prevent the obvious problems at the first hand.
3. In addition to the ISTA D/+ tool, you will need also ELM 327 adapter with the required software to read the Misfire counters, which are reported only in OBD Mode 6 (and are not available in ISTA D/+).
Stage 1. Restoring the Stratified charge
Make sure, if the engine uses a Stratified charge. If a Stratified charge by some reason is not used, all symptoms, mentioned at the beginning of this entry, will be typical for the performance of the engine – the engine works in an emergency mode. To make sure that the engine uses a Stratified charge, follow here.
If the engine uses a Stratified charge stable (for a longer period of time, a positive result confirmed during several following driving sessions), move to the next tests.
If the engine does not use a Stratified charge, at first the use of it should be restored. How to restore a Stratified charge?
a) delete the adaptations of the engine and create new ones, as described here. Deleting of adaptations will exclude a range of possible hidden problems from the list of possible problems: insufficient performance of CO catalytic converters, the uneven performance of the engine, incorrect injector adaptations, etc. If the Stratified charge is restored – move to the next tests. If it does not, continue the check-up.
b) the most typical reason why the Stratified charge is not used: contamination of the NOx catalytic converter is above the norm. Unfortunately the F series vehicled do not record any error messages in DME in this situation (there are no appropriate error messages intended for F series!). To solve this problem, perform the desulfation session of the NOx catalytic converter as described here.
If the desulfation session is successful (the voltage of the Lambda probes is 1.80 .. 1.90V and increased fuel consumption is observed), check the usage of the Stratified charge after desulfation session, driving with speed 60 .. 90km/h.
In the desulfation session is unsuccessful (the voltage of the Lambda probes still is around 2.00V during desulfation session, it means, Lambda = 1.00) and also the increased speed (till 140km/h) does not help to activate the desulfation session, make sure that the NOx system is functioning at all.
Disconnect the NOx sensor for a moment, start the engine. The following error message should appear immediately: ”CD8510: Lost communication”. If this error message does not appear – obviously, the DME software has been “upgraded”: some “benefactor” has tuned off the NOx system. In this case – at first, the stock software has to be restored.
If the error message regarding the NOx system appears, we can assume, that the software is correct. In this case, try to increase the driving speed to 140km/h and maintain it for several minutes to start the desulfation session. Don’t forget to fill the fuel – the fuel tank has to be full for at least 50%. If also this does not help, it is very possible, that the OEM NOx sensor has a hidden defect (more info here). If you wish, you can send the NOx sensor to us for the check-up (more info here).
If it’s not possible to drive with such high speed (till 140km/h), the following option is possible:
install the INPA for F series, loader 3.700 MSD87 for N54 (will be necessary for NOx converters management);
install the NOXEM on your car.
In this case, please, follow the recommendations of the procedure step by step as described here, if the INPA diagnostics tool is used.
Stage 2. Restoring even performance of the engine
c) if you have reached this step, obviously, a Stratified charge (at least for a moment – several motor hours) was restored. It’s good news. Drive as even as possible for several motor hours, allow the engine to create new adaptations of fuel & other systems. Evaluate the result. If the uneven performance (shivering) of the engine can be felt, continue checking with:
spark plugs. The spark plugs of these engines have to be replaced after each 20 .. 30.000km. Very important – only appropriate spark plugs of NGK have to be installed! More about the common problem regarding the spark plugs read here and here;
ignition coils. Unfortunately due to the constructive defect, the resource of the ignition coils is quite limited. Several ignition coils may need to be changed even after several tens of thousands of km. More about this problem read here. If you see that the ignition coils are oily, have black “lines” on them, their “pipes” are cracked – the ignition coil has to be replaced. Install Bosch or NGK ignition coils – they are more sturdy and will serve for a longer time than others;
if the spark plugs are in good technical condition (or replaced) and the ignition coils look perfect, evaluate Misfire counters.
d) Evaluation of Misfire counters. You will need an ELM 327 adapter with the required software. How to use ELM 327, read here.
At first, evaluate the mechanical efficiency of the cylinders to make sure that all injectors work more or less correct:
open ISTA D/+, identify the car
in the section of the Vehicle info, choose DME and press ”Call up ECU functions”
in the section of Diagnosis scan choose “Operational smoothness values”, mark all cylinders, press “Read status”.
If Rough run data of all cylinders fit in a range of -0.500 .. +0.500 (except the moments, when the engine shivers), move to the inspection of the Misfire counters. If the indication of the mechanical efficiency of any cylinder is negative and reaches over 0.500: the injector of this cylinder leaks in idle and has to be replaced.
Allow the engine to run in idle and after some time (not turning off the engine) read the Misfire counters. An increased number of misfires will indicate the damaged cylinder.
Typical apportionment of the “guilty” components:
90%: ignition coil;
7%: spark plug;
3%: injector.
To identify the damaged component, you can use a “swap” principle – swap the possible culprit with the next cylinder. If the problem “moves”, when the misfire counters are read repeatedly – the “guilty one” has been found!
In this stage, you have to reach even the performance of the engine in idle and when driving evenly.
Remember – after replacing the injectors (if it’s necessary) it has to be encoded, repeated re-adaptation of the engine has to be performed.
Note: in Stratified charge mode, the engine is more “whimsical”, it means, the misfires appear faster than in Homogeneous mode. The spark needs max power to ignite the fuel. Every tiniest damage of the ignition system or even slightly incorrect beam of the injector causes misfires. So, don’t be surprised, that when the engine switches to a Stratified charge, some cylinder starts to misfire. You can find the culprit, reading Misfire counters.
If increased vibration is observed directly for the cold engine:
start the cold engine, open the “Operational smoothness” values of cylinders, using ISTA D/+ ;
at the moment when the unevenness of the cylinders start (wideband Lambda probes start to work), observe the mechanical efficiency of cylinders. If the mechanical efficiency is strongly negative (more than -0.500), the injector of this cylinder leaks and has to be replaced.
As a result of the previously mentioned procedures, you should reach that:
the engine regularly uses Stratified charge;
the performance of the engine is even – no short-term shivering (misfires), no permanent vibration (consequences of leaking injectors) are observed.
Unfortunately, due to some specific problems (for example, reduced performance of the CO catalytic converters, “floating” of the parameters of the injectors, reduced performance of the NOx catalytic converter, stability problems of LPFP/HPFP pressures, air-tightness of the intake manifold, etc) is possible, only using INPA.
Accordingly – if in some modes the engine still runs unevenly or the Stratified charge “disappears” after some time and does not restore, you have to install BMW ISTA Software and perform additional tests.

Why You Choose Autel MaxiAP AP200

Tell you a small magic scanner: Autel MaxiAP AP200. It is the perfect Do-It-Yourself tool for customers looking for quick and easy diagnostic functions of all systems.
why-you-choose-autel-maxiap-ap200
Review 1: Work great
Works great! I bought it for my friend, and he likes it very much. He told me that he was attracted by its dynamic display. It’s fortunate to buy this at such a reasonable price, after all, most car diagnostic tools with full systems diagnoses and various service functions have a high price. Once he got the Bluetooth scanner connected to his android tablet, he got quick access to boundless options and information, which can be saved as PDF files and be reviewed.
It has TPMS, BMS function and etc. You can use BMS to clear the fault messages of the original battery to re-adapt the replaced battery which is helpful for me.
It comes with an AP200 which can work perfectly with the Bluetooth device. he never needs to worry about the problems related to the compatibility.
This Autel scanner also supports up to 19 specific functions, including oil reset, DPF, EPE, and etc, it really worth to buy one.
Review 2: Found out what was causing the error light on truck
I bought this for my dad to use on his 2007 Chevy Silverado. He’s had the check tire lights on for years now. I remember him saying he took it to the shop soon after they came on and was quoted something ridiculous to get the sensor replaced as there wasn’t anything actually wrong with the tires themselves. Plugged in the OBD2 scanner and it found the error right away and he was able to reset the light so that was pretty cool to watch. Gonna miss that little yellow light ??
The app took a bit to get set up, but once it was all said and done it was really easy to run through the process of scanning the truck and resetting the codes.
Review 3: Program Honda keys and so much more
I was very skeptical if a $60 device could actually do what a $500 to $800 code scanner could do. I purchased it to program keys to a new ECU on a 2002 Honda Civic. It was a bit confusing to set up at first, but once I paid the $15 fee for a Honda, it worked perfectly. Sure beats paying $140 to have a dealer spend 10 minutes to program keys. It does so much for $50. The only downside is the $15 per year per vehicle make. But if you only own Hondas, that works well. Bummer I own a BMW, Toyota, Isuzu, Mazda, Subaru, and Honda. That’s $90 a year for all of them.
Review 4: ?Multifunctional obd2 scanner
In comparison with other Bluetooth code readers, this AP200 provides me with a more comprehensive range of features. A number of reset services are supported, which include Oil reset, EPB reset, BMS reset, etc.
Review 5: Good scanner and Worth to buy
It’s a Bluetooth scanner to smartphone. Considering, it keeps the ability of the scan tool and is pretty impressive. You scan the QR code on side to download the software. OBD2 software is free for a vehicle. If you are just doing a couple of vehicles, it’s pretty reasonable because you just need to pay for the software user’s permission for the other vehicle.
After setting this scanner up, it’s light will turn into blue once it connects to the Bluetooth in your smartphone.
There is automatic selection for selecting diagnostic type which can help you scan your vehicle very fast. Turn the key on and choose a diagnostic type, it is easy to use. After confirming vehicle profile and clicking the yes button, the scan tool will establish vehicle communication. You can click auto scan bottom on diagnostic menu and this scanner will start to scan your vehicle. It will scan your powertrain, anti-lock brake system tire pressure monitor and ect..
This AP200 also supports live data, like ATC, live data, engine live data and transmission live data. You can click engine speed in engine data part and then click graft, just click back, the graft will be shown under the engine speed.
Generally speaking, it works fairly fast and worth to buy.

Is possible to change idle speed with GM Tech II

Possible to raise and lower idle speed using a Tech II scanner?
GM-Tech-II
Look here – questions and answers from users and technicians
2003 escalade, found a TSB regarding rough idle, I need to raise and lower the idle by +/- 50 rpm. How do I do this with a Tech 2?
For the 2003, if the tsb refers you to a new calibration you might able to reprogram with tis2000 (depends on the tsb date).
Note that things can’t be done with the scan tool alone.
2011 escalade would like to know how to do a VIN reprogram/ relearn for the radio.
For the 2011 you’ll need tis2web.
Note that things can’t be done with the scan tool alone.
Is it possible to adjust the idle rpm with the Tech II?
You cannot change your idle rpm with the Tech 2. On some vehicles you can raise and lower the rpm by controlling the iac motor, but only for diagnostic purposes.
What do I need to be able to change my idle speed for cold conditions . ECM program adjustment? should be able to control it with cruise control switch correct?2002 GMC duramax 2500HD . (1GTHC23182F202689 – 2002 GMC VIN.)
your vehicle can the ecm reprogrammed for the fast idle increase. your local dealer should be able to help you out.
Which one Tis2000 will support escalade 2009 to reprogram with Tech2?
For 2009 you will need an online subscription.
I’m trying to change the idle speed on a 98 camro m6, ls1, with a big cam for a friend of mine.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the proper procedure to adjust it with a GM tech 2? He wants it specifically set with the ecm.
You cannot do it with a TECHII. Simple as that. What you want to do is considered editing, and you cannot edit with a TECHII. Period.
Only thing you can do with a TECHII is upload GM specific files, tunes, updates, whatever you want to call them.
Raising of the idle can be done using the bi-di controls in the scanner function, but it does not burn it to the memory.
Drilling a hole in the T-body does you no good, because without raising the idle in the tune, the IAC will just close up more, trying to get the idle back down to the desired speed.
I assume the same is true for changing the rear gear ratio?
You can change gear ratios by changing RPOs. Totally different thing. Thats still not editing. It’s changing what the computer thinks the car came with from the factory.
You cannot tell the computer the car has a 4.56. You cannot change the idle.
To correctly change the idle, you need to increase the base idle airflow, as well as the idle speed. You need to purchase a tuner suite. HPtuners or EFIlive.
Is it possible for GM vehicles to get the ecm reprogrammed for the fast idle increase. your local dealer should be able to help you out. How it works?
Connect the Car Diagnostic Tool Tech 2 and follow the steps below to program the ECM for idle up feature with PTO operation:
Turn on tech 2 and build the vehicle
select “Powertrain” (Or “Vehicle Control Systems” on later models)
select “Special Functions” (or “Module Setup” on later models)
select “PTO Options”
select “Change Options” (soft key at bottom of the screen)
select F1 “PTO Preset Speed Control”
select pto max engine speed set to 2200 – 4400 rpm (not below 2200)
Note: These steps will not allow the engine rpm to exceed the rpm setting, even during normal driving if the PTO switch is on
select stand by speed (base fast idle ) set to 1200 (this setting is initial fast idle)
select PTO set speed – set to 1400 rpm
select PTO resume speed – set 1700 rpm
select PTO max engage speed – set to 1800 rpm (PTO engagement inhibit speed)
select PTO engine shutdown – no
select PTO engage relay – no
select PTO feed back -no
select “Reprogram” (soft key at bottom of screen) “Waiting For Data” displays on screen-once data comes back verify settings remain
key off- until tech 2 “beeps” and screen shows “no communication” (Very important step if missed setting will not store)
key on – verify settings remain on list
operate pto
loading..
