Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)




Note! The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be the result of a defective position sensor. If any diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the Suspension Module (SUM) for this sensor, this must be fault-traced first. Check that no diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

- Ignition on
- Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Any stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for the position sensor must be remedied and erased first.





Is there a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored for the position sensor?

Yes - No Fault Found

No - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring




- Ignition off.
- Check the connectors for the control module and sensors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation
- Check the cable for power supply between control module terminal #A25 and the position sensors for the left rear suspension terminal #5. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Hint: The sensor is usually supplied with 5 V from control module terminal #25 when the ignition is on. There is no power supply if a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored. Click on the VCT2000 symbol to activate the power supply. This will make fault-tracing easier.

Try a new control module if no fault is found in the wiring.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Click on the VCT2000 symbol to read off the present value of the power supply to the sensors. The value must be approximately 5 V





Is the value OK?

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
