Checking cable and component





Checking the fault cause
Check the fault cause as follows:
1. Ignition off
2. Unplug the MOST connector from the integrated audio module (IAM).
3. Connect the MOST cable to special tool 951 2867 MOST instrumentation 951 2867 MOST Instrumentation
4. Ignition on
5. Activate the infotainment system
6. Check that the communication on the MOST network is functioning by reading off the status of the MOST locked parameter for at least 30 seconds. The parameter indicates whether the MOST network is closed and communication possible Click the VCT2000 symbol to read off the status of the MOST network.
7. If the parameter displays that the MOST network is not correctly connected, check the receiving control module in the same way as above.
The communication on the MOST network is working if the menu text is displayed. If this is the case, the fault cause is in the integrated audio module (IAM). Continue the fault-tracing by checking the component.
The communication on the MOST network is not working if the menu text is not displayed. The fault cause is then in the MOST cable for the next control module. Continue the fault-tracing by checking the fiber optic cable.

Checking cable
- Check the MOST connection. Check for dirt, loose connections and damage
- Replace the MOST cable if no fault is found in the MOST terminal.

Checking the component
- Check the integrated audio module (IAM) power supply and ground connection.
- Check the MOST connection. Check for dirt, loose connections and damage
- If no fault can be found, change the integrated audio module (IAM).
Remedy as necessary.
