Checking diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the central electronic module (CEM)
If there are diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the central electronic module (CEM) or in the transmission control module (TCM) for communication problems or for the back-up lamps, these must be fault traced first.

Are any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the central electronic module (CEM) or in the transmission control module (TCM) for communication problems or for the back-up lamps?

Yes - DONE

No - Checking the transmission

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

Checking the transmission

Does the car have automatic transmission?

Yes - Checking the wiring and terminals (automatic transmissions)

No - Internal fault

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

Checking the wiring and terminals (automatic transmissions)




- Ignition off.
Check the brake control module (BCM) and transmission control module (TCM) connectors. Check for damaged or bent terminal pins. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation.
Check the wiring for CAN communication. Check between the brake control module (BCM) terminal #11 (#A11) and terminal #2 (#B12) on the transmission control module (TCM). Check between the brake control module (BCM) terminal #6 (#A6) and terminal #8 (#A8) on the transmission control module (TCM). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Remedy as necessary.

Internal fault

Replacing the component
The central electronic module (CEM) has registered an internal fault.
If the fault is intermittent, it has been registered previously but is no longer present. Intermittent faults can be caused by interference at start up of the central electronic module (CEM) or may be a different type of fault which occurs on different occasions. The fault is evaluated depending on how it occurs. Replace the central electronic module (CEM) if the fault recurs.
Replace the central electronic module (CEM) if the fault is permanent.
Remedy as necessary.

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








- Ignition off
- Reconnect the connectors, components, etc.
- Test drive the car according to: Test Drive Form (DSTC (dynamic stability and traction control) /brake control module), description Test Drive Form (DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) /Brake Control Module), Description
- Ignition on.
Read off the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).





Is the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) intermittent?

Yes - VERIFIED
