Basic Setting, Initiating


Basic setting, initiating

Function 04 "Initiate basic setting" performs several functions with ABS Mark 60:
- Display group number 001 is required only to bleed the hydraulic system

Note: The basic setting is only necessary to bleed the hydraulic unit if at least one chamber of the brake fluid reservoir has completely run dry.

- Display group number 0401) is required to shut off the longitudinal acceleration sensor -G251 in order to utilize the maximum engine performance for a test, e.g. on a rolling road test stand.
- Display group number 0602) is required to perform a zero compensation for steering angle sensor -G85-. Subsequently a test drive must be performed.
- Display group number 0632) is required to perform a zero compensation for sensor for transverse acceleration -G200-. Subsequently a test drive must be performed.
- Display group number 0662) is required to perform a zero compensation for Sender 1 for brake booster -G201-. Subsequently a test drive must be performed.
- Display group number 0691) is required to perform a zero compensation of longitudinal acceleration sensor-G251-.
- Display group number 0632) is required to perform a driving test. It serves to check the plausibility of the signals from the steering angle sensor -G85-, Sensor for transverse acceleration -G200- Sender for Rotation Rate -G202- and sender 1 for brake booster -G201-.
When the ABS control module (w/EDL) -J104- is replaced, a zero compensation must be performed for the following components:
- Sensor for transverse acceleration -G200-.
- Steering angle sensor-G85-.
- Sender 1 for brake booster -G201-.
- Longitudinal acceleration sensor-G251-.
When the individual sensors or sensors are changed, a zero compensation must only be carried out for the changed component.
1) For 4MOTION vehicles only
2) For ABS/EDL/ASR/ESP and ABS/EDL/ASR/ESP EMOTION only
