Faulty Signal






Faulty signal

Checking the component




- Ignition on.
Check that the back-up (reversing) lamp is only lit when back-up (reverse) gear is engaged.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Checking components and wiring

No - Checking components and wiring

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

Checking components and wiring
Check the cable between the central electronic module (CEM) and the back-up (reversing) lamp switch. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #C34 (34) and back-up (reversing) lamp switch terminal #1 (3/10).
Measure the resistance between back-up (reversing) lamp switch terminals #1 and #2 with gears 1 to 5 engaged. The resistance must be high.

Hint: The back-up (reverse) gear switch should be open in all gear positions except back-up (reverse).

Remedy as necessary.

Checking components and wiring
Check central electronic module (CEM) connector C. Check for contact resistance and oxidation. Check for damage in particular.
Check the connector on the back-up (reversing) lamp switch. Check for contact resistance and oxidation. Check for damage in particular.
Check the cable between the central electronic module (CEM) and the back-up (reversing) lamp switch. Check for an open-circuit. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #C34 (34) and back-up (reversing) lamp switch terminal #1 (3/10).
