Signal too low

Status check




- Ignition on
- Read off the position of the reset button.
Compare the position of the reset button with the noted value.
- ON = Reset button depressed
- OFF= reset button unaffected.





Does the reset button position correspond to the noted value?

Yes - Checking components and wiring

No - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring

Hint: The voltage between the mode selector terminals #1, #2 and #7 and ground must be 10-12 V when the connector is disconnected and the ignition is on.

Check the signal cables between mode selector terminals #1, #2 and #7 and the combined instrument panel terminals #A3, #A5 and #A6. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit fault-tracing

No - Attempt New Test

Checking components and wiring

Hint: The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the reset button is pressed in for more than 25 seconds.

Hint: The voltage between the mode selector terminals #1, #2 and #7 and ground must be 10-12 V when the connector is disconnected and the ignition is on.

Check the signal cables between mode selector terminals #1, #2 and #7 and the combined instrument panel terminals #A3, #A5 and #A6. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.
