Diagnostic help
Fault diagnosis concerns electrical faults in connecting cables to ABS (check first whether there is a fault in ABS or TC/ABS). Communication with Trionic is via the P-bus if the car is equipped with TC/ABS. For further information on fault diagnosis of communication with TC/ABS, see
Fault diagnosis strategy for electronic systems
. DTC P1625 will be generated if TC/ABS is missing from the bus, see
P1625
.
Diagnostic tool functions related to this fault are:
|
•
|
Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.

Check the wiring
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at various points and in different directions to detect any intermittent breaks or short circuits in the wiring. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.
