WM 977223 Installing optical waveguide

Preliminary work

Information

Release the main wire harness only until the damaged optical waveguide has been released and the new optical waveguide can be attached to the main wire harness.

Release main wire harness around the floor area and right-hand side. -> 9709 Removing and installing main wire harness - floor area and right-hand side - "Removing" section 970919 Removing and Installing Main Wiring Harness - Floor Area and Right-Hand Side

Installing optical waveguide

Installing optical contacts on connector side

Remove the dust boot right before plugging.

Check the proper condition of the contacts.
1. Insert the optical contact -A and B- in the connector until it engages audibly.





Locking primary locking of the optical contacts (connector side)





2. Lock the secondary locking and check the optical contacts for tightness.

Installing optical waveguide

Information

Observe the general information on optical waveguides. => General information on optical waveguides - MOST bus

1. Cut off the optical contacts of the damaged optical waveguide and isolate them.

Information

The range of spare parts available for optical waveguides depends on the vehicle equipment. Depending on the vehicle equipment, there is a specific set containing the individual optical waveguides.

Select the required optical waveguide and remove it from the set.

2. Route the new optical waveguide along the main wire harness, guide it through the existing cable ducts and tie it to the main wire harness using tie-wraps.





Routing and fastening optical waveguide

3. Connect the connectors for the new optical waveguide to the affected parts until the connectors are felt to engage. The illustration shows the connector on the CD changer as an example.

4. Read out fault memory and erase if required.
5. Check operation of audio components.
