Subsequent work

1. After installing the rotation-rate sensor, read out the PSM fault memory with the PIWIS Tester (diagnostic tester) and erase it. Carry out a static test. Then start the engine. The PSM-related lights in the instrument cluster must go out when the engine is running. Read out the PSM fault memory again. There must not be any stored faults.
