Inputs

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

The operation of the sensors can be checked with the diagnostics instrument.

Scheme 203: 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 204

Scheme 204
  1. Check the latest edition of TIS2000 to see 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 205

Scheme 205: 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.

  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.

  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.

  1. Make sure the lead being tested is not under tension (e.g. remove the relevant fuse) and that any loads are disconnected.
  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.

  1. When detaching connectors with locks, it is essential that the lock is released before the connector is detached. Ensure the connector locks properly when connecting. Example of some different connector types used in the car: 1.A. Pull out the slide to unlock the connector. After attaching the connector lock it by pressing in the slide. NOTE: Using a small screwdriver will help to unlock the connector. 1.B. Press in the lock tab to unlock the connector. Make sure the connector is locked properly when connecting. 1.C. Pull out the slide to unlock the connector. After attaching the connector lock it by pressing in the slide. 1.D. Press in the brace catch and push forward the brace. Push back the brace to lock the connector after connecting. NOTE: Make sure the brace is locked in the right position to ensure good contact between connectors. 1.E. Lift up the lock tab to unlock the connector. Make sure the connector is locked properly when connecting. 1.F. Press in the connector lock tab to release the brace. Release the connector slide while pushing the brace forward. NOTE: The connector may be damaged if too much force is used to push forward the brace without first releasing the slide. Push back the brace to lock the connector after connecting.
  2. Ground yourself by touching the car body/engine before removing or fitting any of the connectors on the car's control modules.
  3. Never pull the wiring harness when removing a connector.
  4. Never touch the pins on the control module with your hands or clothes. IMPORTANT: Incorrect handing or the use of the wrong tool can damage the sleeves in the connector. Use a test cable (part no. 86 12 731) of the correct size to avoid damaging the sleeves in the connector.
  5. When testing only probe tips intended for the purpose are to be used to avoid damaging the contacts. Use a test cable (part no. 86 12 731) of the right size.
  6. Connectors may only be repaired when using specified special tools and spare parts.
  7. The following connectors must not be repaired: Screened wires/coaxial cables (e.g. ESP sensor cable) Airbag system and pyrotechnical seat-belt tensioner system High tension cable (e.g. ignition system, xenon lamp).

  1. Check for any contact problems in connections.
  2. Check contacts, connectors and crimp connections with respect to oxidation, loose pins and pin clamping force. IMPORTANT: Incorrect handing or the use of the wrong tool can damage the sleeves in the connector. Use a test cable (part no. 86 12 731) of the correct size to avoid damaging the sleeves in the connector.
  3. To check the connector clamping force, use a test cable with the right pin size (from kit 86 12 731). NOTE: Using a test cable that is too big will damage connector sleeves. Insert the test cable pin into the connector pin to feel the clamping force of the pins in question. Poor clamping force of the connector pins can cause bad contact. Also check that the engagement height of the pin is the same as the other pins in the connector. An engagement height that is too low could be an indication of a loose pin in the connector, which could cause bad contact.
  4. Check wires and connections for open circuits.
  5. Check wiring harness, connectors and ground connections.
