Signal Too Low
Signal too low
Checking the status
- Ignition on.
Activate the parking lamp.
Check if the fault is permanent or intermittent.
The parking lamp must light on activation.
The fault is permanent if the parking lamp does not activate.
If the parking lamp is activated, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i.e. the fault is intermittent.
The fault-tracing only applies to group 2 parking lamps. Group 2 parking lamps consist of:
- Front right-hand parking lamps
- Rear left-hand parking lamps.
Continue - Checking the component and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the component and wiring
Check the voltage on the right-hand headlamp connector terminal #7 to the output on the central electronic module (CEM). The voltage must be approximately 12 V when the low beam is activated.
Check the control signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #G2 (#2) and left-hand headlamp connector terminal #7.
Check the voltage on the rear left-hand lamp housing connector terminal #2 to the output on the central electronic module (CEM). The voltage must be approximately 12 V when the low beam is activated.
Check the control signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #G14 (#14) and rear left-hand lamp housing connector terminal #2.
Remedy as necessary.
