  1. Shorting to ground/open circuit.
  2. Shorting to battery positive (B+).

The control module output is monitored and a diagnostic trouble code generated for

  1. Shorting to ground/open circuit.
  2. Shorting to battery positive (B+).

Control module

When the control module is supplied with current, the processor in it is tripped. The processor then reads the instructions stored in the control module's memory.

The control module is programmed to read the inputs and activate the outputs. If the control module program is faulty, the diagnostic trouble code "Internal Control Module Fault" will be generated.

The control module must be supplied with current before the system will function. The control module is supplied with current and the processor tripped when the control module can be contacted by the diagnostics instrument.

Outputs

The purpose of the system is to control a number of functions by means of various actuators, such as an injector or lamp. For the system to be capable of performing its functions, it must be possible to activate the actuators. For this reason the actuators must be connected to the control module and have a proper power supply or ground connection.

Inputs

A condition for the control module's capability of controlling its actuators is that the system's sensors supply it with correct values.

Sensor performance can be checked with the diagnostics instrument.

Scheme 132: Before changing a control module

It is our experience that the majority of control modules returned to us for repair or replacement under warranty are in perfect working order. In these cases, fitting a new control module has obviously not cured the fault. Therefore, go through all the following points carefully before changing the control module

Scheme 133

Scheme 133
  1. Check whether the problem can be solved with a control module software update (for control modules that can be reprogrammed). IMPORTANT: Avoid SPS programming unless it is absolutely necessary. It is extremely important to follow the instructions for SPS programming to avoid damaging the control module.
  2. Check all grounding points and the power supply to the control module.
  3. Check with a diagnostic tool that all the readings are plausible (several readings can affect one function).
  4. Check with the diagnostics tool that all activations function normally. (Malfunction in one output circuit can affect another output circuit).
  5. If the fault persists, the control module must be changed. Fill in the "Checklist for changing turbocharger and engine control module" before changing the control module and attach it when the control module is returned.
  6. Control modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Great care must be taken to follow the following procedure to avoid damaging internal components in the control module: Keep the control module in its packaging for as long as possible. Never touch the pins of a control module with your hands or clothing. Ground yourself by touching part of the car's body/engine. Unplug the connector from the car's control module. Place the exchanged control module in its return packaging without touching the pins. Ground yourself by touching part of the car's body/engine. Plug in the connector to the car's control module.

Scheme 134

Scheme 134: General

A suitable instrument to use is a multimeter.

The ohmmeter must not be used to test components containing semi-conductors, e.g. control modules and relay with timing functions, etc.

When measuring resistance, the power supply to the system being tested must be disconnected as the measuring instrument generates a weak current in the circuit in question.

This is done to ensure that there is no current already in the tested circuit and that the correct reading is obtained.

Scheme 135

Scheme 135: Testing For Open Circuits By Measuring Voltage

Scheme 136

Scheme 136
  1. Turn on the load.
  2. Set the multimeter for measuring voltage and connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to a good grounding point.
  3. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the point where the voltage is to be read.
  4. On the output side of switches/control modules, it is better to start checking from these and gradually work your way towards the load. When there is no longer a voltage reading, you will have gone past the break point.
  5. On the input side of switches/control modules/consumers, it is better to start at the power source (normally a fuse) and then move gradually towards the switch/control module/consumer. When there is no longer a voltage reading, you will have gone past the break point.

Scheme 137

  1. Make sure the component or lead to be tested is not under tension (e.g. by removing the relevant fuse).
  2. Set the multimeter for measuring ohms and connect the ohmmeter to each end of the component/lead to be tested.
  3. Jiggle the relevant wiring harness while observing the ohmmeter. Normally, the resistance of a wiring harness is less than 1 ohm. Specified values apply to components.

  2. Set the multimeter for measuring ohms.
  3. Connect one test lead to a good ground and the other to the point to be tested.
  4. Carefully jiggle the wiring harness and make sure the multimeter reading shows infinite resistance (OL) all the time.

Scheme 147: One Radiator Fan (Cars Without A/C)

Cars without A/C are fitted with one electric fan mounted behind the radiator. The fan has two speeds, high and low.

The fan is controlled by the DICE system through the following input signal

  1. Coolant temperature (bus from TRIONIC)

The radiator fan is activated when the coolant temperature is the same as or higher than the preprogrammed value (low/high speed).

The DICE unit receives information on the coolant temperature via the bus.

Scheme 149: Two Radiator Fans (Cars With A/C)

Cars with A/C are fitted with two electric fans mounted behind the radiator. The fans have two speeds, high and low.

The fans are controlled by the DICE unit via the following input signals

  1. Coolant temperature (bus from TRIONIC)
  2. A/C pressure
  3. Car speed (bus from MIU)
  4. Outside temperature (bus from SID)

The radiator fans start in the following cases

Scheme 150

Scheme 150
  1. When coolant temperature reaches 100°C the fans start at low speed. If the temperature rises to 113°C they start running at high speed.
  2. When the A/C compressor is activated, the fans start running at low speed in one of the following cases: Outside temperature higher than 22°C Vehicle speed below 38 km/h and A/C pressure between 9 and 18 bar.
  3. When the A/C compressor is activated, the fans start running at high speed if A/C pressure exceeds 18 bar. The DICE receives information on the coolant temperature via the bus. The pressure in the A/C system is obtained via its own pressure sensor.

Scheme 151

Scheme 151: Operation, One Radiator Fan (Cars Without A/C)

The radiator fan can be run at two speeds, depending on the coolant temperature

  1. Low speed
  2. High speed

The radiator fan is controlled by the DICE system via two relays, (155) and (81).

Irrespective of the ignition switch position, power is supplied via fuse 15 to the low speed relay (155).

  1. Low speed The DICE applies the value of the coolant temperature which meets the conditions for low speed. The relay (155) is then grounded via pin 35 of the control unit. Power is supplied to the radiator fan which starts running at low speed because the current is reduced by a series resistor (367).
  2. High speed The DICE applies the value of the coolant temperature which meets the conditions for high speed. The relay (81) is then grounded via pin 53 of the control unit which means that the radiator fan is grounded directly. Relay (155) is still in the operated state. The radiator fan now runs at high speed.

Scheme 152

Scheme 152: Operation, Two Radiator Fans (Cars With A/C)

The radiator fans can be run at two speeds, depending on coolant temperature, A/C pressure, car speed and outside temperature

  1. Low speed
  2. High speed

The radiator fans are controlled by the DICE system via three relays: (155), (81) and (396).

Irrespective of the ignition switch position, power is supplied via fuse 15 to relay (155) and relay (81) for low speed running.

  1. Low speed, only relay (155) operated The DICE applies the values which meet the conditions for low speed. The relay (155) is then grounded via pin 35 of the control unit. Power is supplied to both radiator fans via relays (155) and (81). The radiator fans start running at low speed because the current is reduced as a result of them being connected in series.
  2. High speed, all relays operated The DICE applies the values which meet the conditions for high speed. The relay (81) is then grounded via pin 53 of the control module, which means that the left-hand radiator fan (37 LH) is grounded directly and relay (155) is still in the operated state. Power is then supplied direct to the left-hand radiator fan (37LH) which starts running at high speed. Relay (396) is grounded at the same time, which means that the right-hand radiator fan (37RH) is supplied with power separately and starts running at high speed. The radiator fans are thus connected in parallel.

Two Radiator Fans (Cars With A/C)

  1. Coolant temperature (bus from TRIONIC)
  2. A/C pressure
  3. Car speed (bus from MIU)
  4. Outside temperature (bus from SID)
  5. A/C system status (active/inactive)

The information is used in the DICE to determine whether the radiator fan/fans should be started or stopped.

To maintain idling speed constant, the DICE sends information on the estimated current consumption to the engine management system via the bus. The information is send 0.1 seconds before the DICE starts or stops the radiator fan/fans. The estimated maximum current consumption of the radiator fan/fans is

One radiator fan (cars without A/C)

  1. 15 A, low speed
  2. 23 A, high speed

Two radiator fans (cars with A/C)

  1. 9 A, low speed
  2. 37 A, high speed

When the conditions for high speed are fulfilled, low speed should be active for 2 seconds before high speed is activated. If high speed is active and the conditions for stopping both low speed and high speed are fulfilled, high speed is stopped immediately and low speed is stopped after 2 seconds.

Note. High speed cannot be activated until 15 seconds after the ignition has been turned on.

Radiator fan does not run when ignition is turned from ON to OFF

30 seconds after ignition OFF

  1. The radiator fan starts and runs for 3 minutes if the coolant temperature is 107°C or above. After 3 minutes the fan stops.
  2. The radiator fan starts and runs for 30 seconds if the coolant temperature is between 103°C and 107°C.

1 minute after ignition OFF (only if coolant temperature was between 103°C and 107°C 30 seconds after ignition OFF)

  1. The radiator fan continues to run for 3 minutes if the coolant temperature is 107°C or above.
  2. The radiator fan stops if the coolant temperature is below 107°C.

The radiator fan runs at low speed when ignition is turned from ON to OFF

  1. The radiator fan continues to run for 30 seconds if the coolant temperature is 103°C or above.
  2. The radiator fan stops if the coolant temperature is below 103°C.

30 seconds after ignition OFF

  1. If the radiator fan did not stop when the ignition was turned OFF, it will continue to run for 3 minutes if the coolant temperature is 107°C or above. After 3 minutes the fan will stop. If the coolant temperature is below 107°C the fan will stop.
  2. If the radiator fan stopped when the ignition was turned OFF, it will start and run for 3 minutes if the coolant temperature is 107°C or above. After 3 minutes the fan will stop. If the coolant temperature is between 103°C and 107°C, the fan will start and run for 30 seconds. If the coolant temperature is below 103°C the fan will stop.

1 minute after ignition OFF (only if coolant temperature was between 103°C and 107°C 30 seconds after ignition OFF)

  1. The radiator fan continues to run for 3 minutes if the coolant temperature is 107°C or above.
  2. The radiator fan stops if the coolant temperature is below 107°C.

The radiator fan runs at high speed when ignition is turned from ON to OFF

Immediately after ignition is turned OFF the radiator fan will start and run at low speed for 2 seconds. After these 2 seconds the same logic applies as when the fan runs at low speed when ignition is turned from ON to OFF

  4. Outside temperature (bus from SID)

The radiator fans start in the following cases

Scheme 155

Scheme 155
  1. When coolant temperature reaches 97°C the fans start at low speed. If the temperature rises to 107°C they start running at high speed.
  2. When the A/C compressor is activated, the fans start running at low speed in one of the following cases: Outside temperature higher than 22°C Vehicle speed below 38 km/h and A/C pressure between 9 and 18 bar.
  3. When the A/C compressor is activated, the fans start running at high speed if A/C pressure exceeds 18 bar.

The DICE receives information on the coolant temperature via the bus. The pressure in the A/C system is obtained via its own pressure sensor.

Scheme 156

Scheme 156: Operation, Two Radiator Fans

The radiator fans can be run at two speeds, depending on coolant temperature, A/C pressure, car speed and outside temperature

  1. Low speed
  2. High speed

The radiator fans are controlled by the DICE system via three relays: (155), (81) and (396).

Irrespective of the ignition switch position, power is supplied via fuse 15 to relay (155) and relay (81) for low speed running.

  1. Low speed, only relay (155) operated

The DICE applies the values which meet the conditions for low speed.

The relay (155) is then grounded via pin 35 of the control unit.

Power is supplied to both radiator fans via relays (155) and (81). The radiator fans start running at low speed because the current is reduced as a result of them being connected in series.

  1. High speed, all relays operated

The DICE applies the values which meet the conditions for high speed.

The relay (81) is then grounded via pin 53 of the control module, which means that the left-hand radiator fan (37 LH) is grounded directly and relay (155) is still in the operated state.

Power is then supplied direct to the left-hand radiator fan (37LH) which starts running at high speed. Relay (396) is grounded at the same time, which means that the right-hand radiator fan (37RH) is supplied with power separately and starts running at high speed. The radiator fans are thus connected in parallel.
