Final control diagnosis
Final control diagnosis

Notes:

  • ◆ Final control diagnosis can only be performed up to an engine speed of 3000 rpm and only at vehicle speeds of less than 5 km/h.
  • ◆ Fitting locations of components actuated can be found on onwards.
  • ◆ Final control diagnosis can be repeated several times if necessary.
  • ◆ Control element malfunctions are stored in fault memory.
  • ◆ Control action and display of -E87 (heating) are deactivated during final control diagnosis. -E87 (heating) display segments are only actuated during "segment test" function.
  • ◆ Heating system control motors are moved into a pre-determined position by -E87 (heating) after selecting "Final control diagnosis" function. During final control diagnosis, it is therefore not necessary to wait for control motors to reach a specified position.

Starting final control diagnosis

  • ‒ With ignition off, connect up vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 with diagnostic cable VAS 5051/1 to 16-pin diagnostic socket in vehicle => Page 01-9.
  • ‒ Switch on ignition.
 
A87-0314
  • ‒ Select electronic air conditioner/heater with "address word" 08
    => Page 01-9.
  • ‒ Open dash panel vents.
  • ‒ Interrogate fault memory => Page 01-18.

→ Indicated on display of VAS 5051:

  • ‒ Select function "03 - Final control diagnosis".
 
A87-0317

→ Indicated on display of VAS 5051:

  • ◆ Display zone -1- shows which control element is currently being actuated (e.g. 1st control element in test).
  • ◆ Display zone -2- gives a consecutive list of control elements already actuated and the one currently being actuated. The one currently being actuated appears in the bottom line.
  • ‒ Touching the ⇒key selects the next component. Function and sequence =>Table of control elements actuated, Page 01-89.

Notes:

  • ◆ Return to selection program by touching ←key.
  • ◆ Final control diagnosis can be terminated by pressing C-key.
  • ◆ On completion of final control diagnosis, interrogate fault memory => Page 01-18.
  • ◆ If final control diagnosis is aborted, interrogate fault memory
    => Page 01-114 (display group 002).
