Faulty Signal

Faulty signal

Checking communication with the gear selector module (GSM)




- Ignition on
- Gear selector in position P
- Check whether communication with the gear selector module (GSM) works by reading off the winter mode selector (W) status
- Connect and disconnect the function by pressing the switch. The status should change.
The fault is permanent if the value does not change.
If the value changes, this indicates that the fault was present previously but is not active at the moment, i.e. an intermittent fault.









Continue - Checking the wiring

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

Checking the wiring
Check for external sources of interference at the communication cable (LIN) between transmission control module (TCM) terminal #A7 and gear selector module (GSM) terminal #2 that can disrupt communication.
Check the communication cable (LIN) between transmission control module (TCM) terminal #A7 and gear selector module (GSM) terminal #2. Check for intermittent short-circuits. Check for an open-circuit.

Hint: The gear selector module (GSM) connector can be accessed by removing the cigarette lighter assembly / electric socket. See: Power socket 12V Power Socket 12V Power socket 12V Power Socket 12V

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
