Dependent:
| P0122, P0123, P0222, P0223 |
System reaction to a fault:
OK report:
| Fault criteria NOT fulfilled. |
Fault handling:
| (See section Fault handling III, "Other emission-related components and functions" for more information.) |
Checking the wiring harness
Move the wiring harness at several spots and in several directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short-circuits. Check switches, connectors and crimp connections for oxidation, retracted pins and pin clamping force.
