Engine control system (OBDII)
This system is designed to
continuously monitor the vehicle
components associated with
emissions; it also indicates, when
the warning light
illuminates
on the instrument panel, that the
components in question need to be
checked and if necessary serviced.
The purpose is to:
- keep the system operating
efficiently
- indicate when a problem causes
an increase in emissions exceeding
the threshold established by
regulations in force
- indicate the need for replacement
of deteriorated components.
In addition, the system includes a
diagnostics connector that can be
interfaced with special instruments.
This makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control
unit, together with a set of specific
parameters for the engine operation
diagnostics cycle, on compliance with
CARB, EPA
OBDII rules.
WARNING: Once the engine is started,
the warning light
will remain on
for approximately 18 seconds before
turning off. This is a normal condition
and part of the operating strategy.
WARNING: When the ignition key
is turned to position
MAR (ON) if
the warning light does not
illuminate or if it illuminates while
driving, contact your local
Authorized
Maserati Dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING: After the problem has
been corrected, your local
Authorized
Maserati Dealer staff are required
to perform tests of the system and if
necessary, also road tests which may
even involve long distances.
Position of the diagnostic
connectors
The diagnostic connector A , positioned
underneath the dashboard, next to
the engine lid opening lever, can be
accessed without removing any cover.
