Diagnostic help

Fault diagnosis concerns electrical faults in connecting cables to ESP. Communication with Trionic is on the P-bus. For further information on fault diagnosis of bus communication with ESP, see Fault diagnosis strategy for electronic systems . If ESP is missing from the bus, DTC P1625 will be generated, see P1625 .

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:


Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.

Vehicle speed (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.
