Self-diagnosis of the power-assisted steering TRW |
The power-assisted steering TRW can be checked with the self-diagnosis. |
The self-diagnosis is performed: |
t
| with vehicle diagnosis, measurement and information system -VAS-. |
The control unit and the hydraulic unit (eletric motor and gear pump) as well as the hydraulic oil reservoir form a single unit, the so-called engine pump aggregate, which cannot be disassembled. Only the reservoir for hydraulic oil is replaceable. |
The engine pump aggregate is located in the front left of the engine compartment between the bumper and the wheelhouse. |
Self-diagnosis is related to the electrical and electronic parts of the power-assisted steering. The control unit detects faults during the operation of the vehicle and stores them in a permanent memory, whose information is retained even if the battery voltage is disconnected. |
After the ignition is switched on the servotronic warning light -K92- lights up. As soon as this starts an internal check cycle is completed → Chapter. |
Before starting fault finding, always initiate self-diagnosis. |
The self-diagnosis of the power-assisted steering TRW is performed with the vehicle diagnosis, measurement and information system -VAS- → Vehicle diagnostic tester. |
WARNING t
| For test drives, test and measuring equipment must always be fastened to the rear seat. |
t
| The diagnostic unit must be operated by an assistant during test drives. |
