Signal Too High






Signal too high

Checking other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)




Note! The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be the result of defective acceleration and/or position sensors. If any diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the Suspension Module (SUM) for these sensors, these must be fault-traced first. Check that no diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

- Ignition on
- Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Any stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for the acceleration or position sensors must be remedied and erased first.





Has a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) been stored for any of the acceleration or position sensors?

Yes - No Fault Found

No - Checking components and wiring

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

Checking components and wiring




- Ignition off.
Check the connectors for the control module and sensors. Check for oxidation.
- Check the cable for power supply between control module terminal #A13 and the acceleration sensors for the front suspension terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage
- Check the cable for power supply between control module terminal #A13 and the position sensors for the rear suspension terminal #5. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage
- Check the cable for power supply between control module terminal #A13 and the acceleration sensors on the bodywork terminal #3. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.

Hint: The sensors are usually supplied with 5 V from control module terminal #13 when the ignition is on. There is no power supply if a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored. Click on the VCT2000 symbol to activate the power supply. This will make fault-tracing easier.

Try a new control module if no fault is found in the wiring.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Click on the VCT2000 symbol to read off the present value of the power supply to the sensors. The value must be approximately 5 V





Is the value OK?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED

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 - FAULT-TRACING FAILED

No - Attempt New Test
