   2. Check the output signal
  
  
    
  
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Plug in the transmission control
module. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect the test lamp to the
Motronic control module between: 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect the ISAT Scan
Tool. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Select "AUT

      | - | Select "TORQUE
LIMITATION". 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   The test lamp should flash.
   
   
   
    Result OK?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 3.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Continue fault diagnosis as described in Service Manual 4:2 "Automatic
transmission".
     
     
    
   
   
   
    3. Final check
   
   
     
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Clear the diagnostic trouble
codes.

      | - | Implementation of driving cycle: 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Evaluation of driving cycle: 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   Has the diagnostic trouble code recurred?
  
  
  
   
    Continue as described in
    
      .
