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
.
Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:
|
•
|
Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.
|
|
•
|
Vehicle speed (Lead from ABS, alternatively bus from TC/ABS.), unit km/h.

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.
