Start diagnosis

Test sequence

-

Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271.

Checking voltage

-

Using a Multimeter, check the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271 socket 30 to Ground (GND).

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:

-

Check the wiring connections from the Battery to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271 socket 30 for an open
circuit or a short circuit.

-

-

If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

-

Switch the ignition on.

-

Using a Multimeter, check the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271 socket 87 to Ground (GND).

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
