Note on display zone 3:

The engine control unit will use the intake air temperature as a replacement value for an engine start (start temperature - replacement value) as soon as there is a fault stored in the fault memory, which affects the coolant temperature sender (G62). The temperature then rises according to a model stored in the control unit. When the engine has reached normal working temperature a fixed replacement value will be displayed after a certain period. This fixed value is also dependent upon the intake air temperature (below or above 20 °C).

Note on display zone 4:

The total temperature range is given as the specification. The displayed value must be above ambient temperature.

Evaluating display group 4, display zone 2 - Control unit voltage supply

Appears on display

Possible fault cause

Fault elimination

Less than specification

- Alternator defective, battery heavily discharged

- Check alternator and battery voltage, charge battery:

- Battery heavily loaded shortly after starting due to high charging current and current consumers

- Increase revs slightly for a few minutes and switch off current consumers

- Transfer resistance in the current supply or the engine control unit earth connection

- Check engine control unit voltage supply => Page 24-117

- Current draw when ignition is off

- Eliminate current draw

More than specification

- Voltage regulator on alternator defective

- Check voltage, replace regulator if necessary:

- Excess voltage due to jump starting or quick charging unit

- Interrogate fault memory => Page 01-20 , Interrogating and erasing fault memory

Less than specification

- Engine too cold

- If necessary carry out test drive

- Coolant temperature sender or wiring to engine control unit

- Check coolant temperature sender

More than specification

- Radiator soiled

- Clean radiator

- Radiator fan not functioning

- Check function
=> Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations

- Thermostat sticking/defective

- Check thermostat:

- Coolant temperature sender or wiring to engine control unit

- Check coolant temperature sender

Constant 30.0 or
