Diagnostic System



DESIGN AND FUNCTION

Diagnostic system

In order to simplify troubleshooting, Regina and Rex-I are equipped with a diagnostic system featuring three diagnostic modes for the former and two for the latter. Communication between the diagnostic system and the garage mechanic takes place via the diagnostic socket either with the Diagnostic key or manually.

Mode 1

Checking For More Codes:




In mode 1, all faults are registered and if the faults are emission-related, then the warning lamp in the combined instrument lights up too. Data regarding a maximum of three faults can be stored.
Fault codes, see E. Fault code table/

Mode 2

Entering Control Function #2:




In mode 2 all the sensor signals are tested. The control unit responds with a code if the control unit receives a signal when the sensor is activated.
