Possible causes of the EDC error and methods for eliminating them

One of the reasons for the EDC error indication on the Mercedes Sprinter

If the EDC light is on on the dashboard of your car, then diagnostics must be done using computer tools. If you have a scanner, you can do it yourself. Otherwise, go to the service station. Try to carry out computer diagnostics at official dealership centers or service stations of your automaker. Its specialists use licensed programs. At other stations there is a risk that diagnostics will be carried out using “hacked” software, which may not detect errors. Therefore, we recommend that you contact the “officials”.

The main reasons why the EDC lights up and troubleshooting methods:

Dirty fuel filter

After eliminating the cause of the error, do not forget to reset it to the ECU. If you are repairing your car at a service station, the technicians will do it for you. If you carry out repairs yourself, remove the negative terminal of the battery for 10.15 minutes so that the information disappears from memory.

We advise owners of an IVECO DAILY car to check the integrity of the negative wire and its insulation, which goes to the pressure control valve (MPROP). The solution is to buy a new chip for the valve and a harness (often, at high currents, the wires and pins burn out). The fact is that this element is a “childhood disease” of this model. Owners often encounter it.

Thanks to the improvements, the weight of the engine was significantly reduced, and the number of components was reduced by 15%. Iveco Eurotech, in comparison with the older Iveco 8640, has become 6% more economical and 8% more powerful. In the fall of 1999, the engine line underwent minor changes.

One of the features of the car was the ability to restore keys. The unique shape made it possible to make an additional set in the shortest possible time.

Iveco Eurotech is far from the last model in the line of the Italian manufacturer. Nevertheless, this car remains very popular today. Its inherent qualities (safety, efficiency and high performance) are especially valued by Russian consumers. Compared to new Iveco models, the cost of the truck is more affordable. For the domestic market, this indicator is usually decisive.

The EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) error has already become well known to owners of diesel Mercedes - here it serves as an analogue of the generally accepted Check Engine "jack". The functioning of the indicator is similar: it lights up when the ignition is turned on and goes out when the engine starts, provided that the self-diagnosis of the injection system does not find any problems.

Electronic control of diesel engines, although close to the injection systems of gasoline engines, has become more complex.

Is it possible to continue driving a car?

If the light is constantly on, you should immediately go to the nearest car service center, especially if you are on the road. It is quite possible that the malfunction is not that problematic and it will be possible to eliminate the malfunction without much financial expense.

You just need high-quality computer diagnostics. If it reveals nothing, you need to check the catalysts: it is quite possible that they are clogged with dirt. Intermittent blinking gives some chance to get home, if it is not far and if the car does not stall periodically.

But it’s better not to wait until the signal becomes constant.

Engine

The modifications included in the Iveco Eurotech series have unique properties. Due to the wide variation in vehicle weights, the brand manufacturer had to use several power plant options. The Iveco Eurotech engine line is represented by 6-cylinder 4-stroke in-line diesel units of the “8210” and “8460” families with intercooling and turbocharging.

The lightest modifications are equipped with a 7.7-liter diesel engine with a rated power of 266 hp. With. and rotation speed 2500 rpm. More productive versions are equipped with units with a volume of 9.5 liters (rated power - 300-375 hp, rotation speed - 2000 rpm) and 13.8 liters (rated power - 470 hp, rotation speed - 1750 rpm ).

All power plants are equipped with an electronic EDS system. They are painted not in the classic red color for European brands, but in gray. The location of the “brains” (the computer that controls the motor) is also quite unusual. It is mounted on the cylinder block under the intake manifold on the “cold” side. The solution looks unexpected, but makes bolts and connectors more accessible.

Possible consequences of ignoring

The list can get quite extensive. It all depends on how quickly you began to diagnose the condition of the car after the EDC light came on. The occurrence of one malfunction can cause a chain reaction, and if the problem is not resolved in time, the repair will cost much more. The most common consequences:

The conclusion is clear: the first step when an EDC light comes on is to carry out computer diagnostics. Only with its help can you determine the algorithm for further actions and at least roughly understand how much the repair will cost.

Device

The Iveco Eurotech suspension is available in several modifications, depending on your needs. The car is equipped with pneumatic or mechanical suspension with parabolic and semi-elliptical springs. The first option ensures the safety of goods for which careful handling is important. Iveco Eurotech has disc brakes with pneumatic drive.

The appearance of the car makes a very pleasant impression. A large cabin with massive mirrors, a fuel tank made of stainless steel and occupying almost the entire length of the wheelbase, and beautiful fairings will interest any client. In this case, the tank is located on the right side, like in Russian cars. Closer inspection reveals other interesting features.

Changing gears in the car is very free. Iveco Eurotech is equipped with improved ZF gearboxes, complemented by a pneumatic Servoshift shift mechanism. The transmission travel distance has been significantly reduced. The driver does not need much effort to shift the lever. However, due to improvements, the transmission becomes very sensitive, so it is necessary to monitor hand movements.

At the same time, modifications with less powerful engines are equipped with a 9-speed gearbox. For the rest, 12- and 16-speed gearboxes are available. Optionally, a 6-speed Allison automatic transmission and a 12-speed electronically controlled EuroTronic gearbox, which is a joint product of ZF and Iveco, are offered.

cabin of a car produced in the 90s

You will also be pleased with the insides of the Iveco Eurotech cabin, which fully meets European standards. The seats in the cabin are equipped with air suspension, and the steering wheel has many adjustments. The main instruments are readable quite well, and the steering column switch levers resemble those found in the Volga, so they will be familiar to Russian drivers. Rearview mirrors allow you to fully capture the size of the truck, and glazing provides excellent visibility. The car listens to the steering wheel at high speed, and the level of noise insulation is such that it allows you to talk in the cabin while driving. True, in areas with uneven surfaces the cabin is filled with vibration and roar.

The highlight of Iveco Eurotech is the turbocharging system, which has variable geometry. The car starts rather sluggishly, but soon picks up speed and after 800 rpm the electronics begin to limit the fuel supply. However, the speed is growing very quickly.

The anti-lock braking system of Iveco Eurotech works perfectly. A loaded truck obediently stops even in slippery areas and follows the specified trajectory.

Overall, the Iveco Eurotech tractor is a very reliable vehicle, ready to withstand heavy loads, remaining stable despite the kilometers traveled.

General recommendations

If the EDC error lights up, computer diagnostics are necessary in any case. A modern diesel fuel injection system consists of more than a dozen sensors and actuators that determine the performance of the engine. At a minimum, the diagnostician will immediately set the direction for troubleshooting and, in a successful case, will immediately determine the cause of the problem.

The main thing is that competent computer diagnostics will allow you to immediately insure yourself against the most serious problems - for example, you definitely won’t like being stuck in the middle of the road due to a faulty high-pressure regulator. The diagnostician will evaluate its operation both according to scanner readings at various speeds, and using an instrumental method - using a pressure gauge, in order to eliminate the possibility of a malfunction of the standard pressure sensor in the injection system.

You can evaluate the work of a diagnostician with diesel injection systems at home from your computer: the Russian representative office of Bosch has posted a flash simulator on its website that allows you to feel “in the shoes” of a professional. By the way, you can also try the recommendations described above in a virtual car. (Spoiler: the correct answer in this simulator can be found by an experienced person in just a minute.)
