Short-Circuit To Ground







Short-circuit to ground

Checking the wiring

Hint: Check connector 54/9 for oxidation even if no heater is connected.








- Ignition off
- Disconnect connectors D and C from the central electronic module (CEM).
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that the communication between the light switch module (LSM), central electronic module (CEM) and combustion preheater module (CPM) is not working. This may be due to a fault in the signal cable between the control modules or a damaged communication device in one or all of the control modules.
Check the signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #D41 (#41) and light switch module (LSM) terminal #3
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #C32 (#32) and combustion preheater module (CPM) terminal #6.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - Replacing the control module

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

Replacing the control module
Try a new light switch module (LSM) and combustion preheater module (CPM).
Only replace one control module at a time. Check the function of each control module between each replacement.
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.
Switch between parking lamps and low beam on the light switch module (LSM).
Check on the light switch module (LSM) that each lamp activates correctly.
Activate the combustion preheater module (CPM).
Check that the engine coolant heater is activated.

Are both the light switch module (LSM) and combustion preheater module (CPM) working?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED
