Electrical Test Program - Preperation For Test

6. Disconnect traction control module (N47).
7. Connect socket box with test cable as per connection diagram (Figures 1-3).

When exchanging an ETS/SPS control module, the replacement module must have the code data entered via the HHT. Follow instructions as given by HHT display. In order to code the control module, select "?" on HHT key pad.

The electrical test includes ETS, ASR and SPS. In order to avoid listing all traction control modules (ABS [N47-7], ETS [N47-2], ASR [N47-1]) and all hydraulic units (ASR/ETS/ESP [A7/3]) used in the traction control systems, the general designation N47 (traction control module) will be used for all traction control modules, and A7/3 (ASR/ETS/ESP hydraulic unit) for all traction control hydraulic units, regardless of what is actually installed in vehicle.
