Inspection and Checking

NOTE:
NOTE:The generic electronic module (GEM) forms part of the central junction box (CJB).
NOTE:
NOTE:If the generic electronic module (GEM) is changed, the new one must be reconfigured. For this purpose, the vehicle-specific data is read out of the module to be replaced using WDS and is transferred to the new module. REFER to:
Kommunikations-Netzwerk (418-00, Diagnosis and Testing),
Zentralelektrikmodul (GEM) (419-10, Diagnosis and Testing).
NOTE:
NOTE:Before reading out the vehicle-specific data, remake all the electrical connections which were separated in the vehicle, so that communication between the module and WDS is ensured.
