COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

FUSE CONDITION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Fuse

 

Check the condition of the cigar lighter fuse

 

Go to Step 2

 

Fuse damaged

 

Replace the fuse and try to determine the cause of the malfunction

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

CIGAR LIGHTER PLUG OPERATION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Cigar lighter plug

 

Operate the base of the cigar lighter plug and check that latter remains engaged (the ignition coil must remain attached to the bi-metal clip at the bottom of the sleeve). If it is not attached, remove the plug from the sleeve and visually inspect the condition of the bi-metal strip.

 

Go to Step 3

 

Following operation, the cigar lighter plug’s ignition coil is not retained by the bi-metal clip due to deformation of the clip itself.

 

Replace the cigar lighter sleeve

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

IGNITION COIL CONDITION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Cigar lighter plug

 

Remove the plug from the sleeve and visually inspect the condition of the ignition coil

 

Go to Step 4

 

Resistance broken or melted

 

Replace the cigar lighter plug

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

RESISTANCE FASTENING CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Cigar lighter plug

 

Remove the plug from the sleeve and visually inspect the resistance to determine whether it is fixed correctly to the central pin

 

Go to Step 5

 

Resistance moves/has come out

 

Replace the cigar lighter plug

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

CIGAR LIGHTER PLUG CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Cigar lighter plug

 

Remove the cigar lighter plug from the sleeve and check that it is entirely complete. The grip and the base must be arranged correctly

 

Go to Step 6

 

Cigar lighter plug without grip or grip/base damaged

 

Replace the cigar lighter plug

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

BASE TRAVEL CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Knob

 

Check that the movement/travel of the base is complete and regular, and that it occurs in a linear, smooth fashion, without sticking (possible foreign elements inside the plug or ceramic shards/fragments).

 

Go to Step 7

 

Moving parts do not slide

 

Replace the cigar lighter plug

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

CIGAR LIGHTER PLUG CONDITION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Cigar lighter plug

 

Check for the absence of mechanical deformation on the ignition coil and the condition of the internal ceramic elements by pressing the base and visual inspection

 

Go to Step 8

 

Cigar lighter plug with mechanical deformation or ovalised

 

Replace the cigar lighter plug

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Ignition coil

 

Check that the resistance value between the central pin and the heater coil is between 0.5 and 1,5 Ω

 

Go to Step 9

 

Incorrect resistance value

 

Replace the cigar lighter plug

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

SLEEVE CONNECTIONS CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Cigar lighter sleeve connections

 

Check that the connections between the cable loom connector and the power socket connector are correct

 

Go to Step 10

 

Connector has come out

 

Restore the correct connections

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

SLEEVE SUPPLY CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Sleeve

 

Using a multimeter, connect the probes to the central rivet (+) and the sleeve flange (-) and check for the presence of a supply voltage of approximately 13.5. This test should be carried out with the battery charged and engine running.

Then insert the plug and engage the lighter. If the release time is between 8 and 20 seconds, the component is operational.

 

Go to Step 11

 

Voltage value below 10 V (measured with car in motion).

 

Check electrical system

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

SLEEVE CONDITION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Sleeve

 

Check for the absence of contamination by fluids or other substances or oxidation inside the sleeve

 

Go to Step 12

 

Sleeve oxidised

 

Replace the sleeve

 

12

 

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

SLEEVE CONDITION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Sleeve

 

Check for the absence of metal deformation on the sleeve and its fins (plug treatment)

 

Go to Step 13

 

Presence of mechanical deformation on the sleeve and its fins

 

Replace the sleeve

 

13

 

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

RING NUT CONDITION CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Ring nut

 

Using special pliers, remove the sleeve from the ring nut and check that there are no breaks or deformation

 

Go to Step 14

 

Presence of breaks or deformation

 

Replace the plastic fitting ring nut

 

14

 

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

CORRECT ILLUMINATED RING NUT SUPPLY CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

ACTION

 

 

Ring nut

 

Check for a supply voltage of approximately 13.5. This test should be carried out with the battery charged and car in motion.

 

End of diagnosis

 

No supply

Fitting ring nut not illuminated

 

Restore the correct power supply

Replace ring nut
