Faulty Signal






Faulty signal

Checking the function




- Ignition on.
Check whether the alarm LED lights constantly. If so, there is a short-circuit to supply voltage in the cable from the central electronic module (CEM).
If the alarm LED does not light, check the operation of the alarm LED by activating it.
Click on the symbol for VCT2000 to begin activation.









Is the function OK?

Yes - Checking connectors and wiring

No - Checking the connector

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

Checking the connector




- Ignition off
- Check central electronic module (CEM) connector B and the connector to the alarm LED. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation. Check for damage carefully.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - Checking the component and wiring

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

Checking the component and wiring
Check the signal cable between the central electronic module (CEM) and the alarm LED. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #B5 (#5) and alarm LED terminal #3.
Check the ground lead between the central electronic module (CEM) and the alarm LED. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #B28 (#28) and alarm LED terminal #5.
Replace the sun sensor/alarm LED if no fault is found in the wiring.
Remedy as necessary.
