On-Board Diagnostics
Type of diagnosis:
|
-
|
Tests 1 and 2: Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and does not restart until next driving cycle.
|
Enable criteria:
|
-
|
Test 1: Engine running.
|
|
-
|
Test 2: Engine running. Speed 50-205 km/h for longer than 10 s. Brake pedal not depressed.
|
Fault criteria:
|
-
|
Test 1: Speed exceeding 270 km/h.
|
|
-
|
Test 2: Speed rises more than 120 km/h or drops more than 50 km/h within 1 s.
|
Dependents:
System reaction to a fault:
|
-
|
Cruise control is blocked. Vehicle speed (Bus from MIU) is used as a substitute value. The idling adaptation is blocked and reset.
|
OK report:
|
-
|
60 s has expired since start. Vehicle speed has exceeded 0 on some occasion.
|

(See section
Fault handling III, other emission-related components and functions

Diagnostic help
Fault diagnosis concerns electrical faults in connecting lead to ABS (ABS or TC/ABS are checked for faults first). If the car is equipped with TC/ABS, communication with Trionic will take place through the P-bus. For further information on fault diagnosis of bus communication with TC/ABS, see
Fault diagnosis strategy for electronic systems
. If TC/ABS is absent from the bus, diagnostic trouble code P1925 will be generated, see
P1925
.
Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:
|
•
|
Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.
|
|
•
|
Vehicle speed (Leads from ABS, alternatively bus from TC/ABS.), unit km/h.

for more information.
Checking the wiring
Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
