ABS/EDL/TCS/ESP warning lights

Pos.	Denomination
1	ABS warning light -K47-
2	Dual circuit and hand brake system warning light -K7-
3	ESP and TCS warning light -K155-
4	Warning light for tyre pressure display -K220-
5	Brake pad warning light -K32-

Brake pad warning light -K32- t  If the warning light for the brake pad -K32--5- does not go out 3 seconds after switching the ignition on or glows during the driving operation, the following can be the causes of the fault: a -  the brake pads could be worn down –  Check the brake pads on the front and rear axles. Replace the brake pads if they are worn down. b -  there is a fault in the wiring → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

ABS warning light -K47- t  If the ABS warning light -K47--1- does not go out after the ignition is switched on and after completion of the test sequence, the causes of the fault may be: a -  the supply voltage is less than 10 volts b -  an ABS fault is present   WARNING If an ABS fault -b- is present, the anti-lock brake system remains switched off while the conventional brake system remains fully operational. c -  a sporadic fault existed on a wheel speed sensor after the last vehicle start In this case the ABS warning light -K47- goes out automatically after restarting the vehicle and after a speed above 20 km/h is reached. d -  the connection from the dash panel insert to the ABS control unit -J104- is interrupted → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations e -  the dash panel insert is defective

ABS warning light -K47- and dual circuit and hand brake system warning light -K7- t  If the ABS warning light -K47--1- goes out or the dual circuit and hand brake system warning light -K7--2- lights up, the causes of the fault may be: a -  the hand-brake is still applied b -  the brake fluid level is too low (warning light flashes) On switching on the ignition three warning tones are audible. c -  There is a fault on the lines to the dual circuit and hand brake system warning light -K7- → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations t  If the ABS warning light -K47- (-1-) and the dual circuit and hand brake system warning light -K7- (-2-) light up, the ABS system is defective. One must reckon with a somewhat changed braking characteristic.   WARNING Once the ABS warning light -K47- and the dual circuit and hand brake system warning light -K7- have lit up then the rear wheels lock quite early on when braking.

Warning light for traction control system -K86- t  If the warning light for traction control system -K86--3- does not goes out after the ignition is switched on and after completion of the test sequence, the causes of the fault may be: There is a fault which exclusively effects the TCS. The ABS and EBD safety systems on the vehicle remain fully functional ⇒ Interrogate the fault memory. a -  Short circuit to positive in traction control system switch -E132- b -  a fault in the actuation of the warning light for traction control system -K86- → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations c -  the TCS system was switched off using the traction control system switch -E132-:    - on vehicles up to CW 44/09, the warning light remains lit    - on vehicles as of CW 45/09, the warning light flashes slowly. If the warning light for traction control system -K86- flashes quickly while driving, the TCS system is operating in regulating mode. t  If the warning light for traction control system -K86--3- does not light up during the automatic test sequence then the following error is present: a -  the warning light for traction control system -K86- is defective, carry out → Electrical testing

ESP and TCS warning light -K155- t  If the warning light for ESP and TCS -K155--3- does not go out after the ignition is switched on and after completion of the test sequence, the causes of the fault may be: There is a fault which exclusively effects the TCS/ESP. The ABS/EDL and EBD safety systems on the vehicle remain fully functional ⇒ Interrogate the fault memory. a -  Short circuit to positive in TCS and ESP button -E256- b -  a fault in the actuation of the ESP and TCS warning light -K155- → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations. c -  the ESP system was switched off using the TCS and ESP button -E256-:    - on vehicles up to CW 44/09, the warning light remains lit    - on vehicles as of CW 45/09, the warning light flashes slowly.   Note If the ESP system is switched off using the TCS and ESP button -E256-, only the TCS system is switched off. If the warning light for ESP and TCS -K155- flashes quickly while driving, the TCS or the ESP system is operating in regulating mode. t  If the warning light for the ESP and TCS -K155--3- does not light up during the automatic test sequence then the following error is present: a -  the warning light for the ESP and TCS -K155- is defective, carry out → Electrical testing.

Warning light for tyre pressure display -K220- t  Warning light for tyre pressure inspection display -K220--4- comes on: –  Carry out tyre pressure inspection. –  Correct the tyre inflation pressure. –  Perform basic setting . Initiating basic setting: l  Ignition on

–  Press the button for tyre pressure inspection -E226--arrow- for more than 2 seconds. When the button for tyre pressure inspection -E226- is pressed the warning light for tyre pressure inspection display -K220- lights up in the dash panel insert. The basic setting is confirmed with an acoustic signal. –  Switch off ignition. –  After the ignition is switched on again, the warning light for tyre pressure inspection display -K220- does no longer light up. t  Warning light for tyre pressure inspection display -K220- flashes: –  Carry out tyre pressure inspection. –  Correct the tyre inflation pressure. l  Ignition on

–  Press simultaneously the button for tyre pressure inspection -E226--arrow A- and the traction control system switch -E132- or the TCS and ESP button -E256--arrow B- for more than 2 seconds:    - on vehicles up to CW 44/09, version of the button -1-    - on vehicles as of CW 45/09, version of the button -2-.   Note Depending on the equipment, the traction control system switch -E132- can be mounted instead of the TCS and ESP button -E256-. If the warning light for tyre pressure inspection display -K220- continues to flash: –  Undertake „Targeted fault finding“ → Vehicle diagnostic tester.
