A. General

A diagnostic program is incorporated in the
control unit (N2/2), which checks both the
control unit itself and the airbag system
components.

If a fault is identified:

Control lamp (A1e15) does not light up

with the ignition key in position 1.

It does not go out after 4 s.

It lights up when the vehicle is being

driven.

When the fault has been rectified, the control
lamp goes out again but the fault is
memorized. The stored fault can be checked
as a flashing pulse via the control lamp
(A1e15) or digitally via an impulse counter.
The number of flashing pulses indicates the
type of fault identified (see Impulse Display
table).

Test requirements

With an impulse output, the test

connection/airbag plug connector (X29/9)
remains connected.

B. Fault diagnosis with impulse counter

Notes on impulse display
If, in a case of complaint, no fault is indicated
by the impulse display, carry out function
test, Section C/4.

The number 1 signifies that no fault is
present in the electronic system. All other
numbers are assigned to a specific, faulty
circuit.

Numbers 1-10 appear in the impulse counter
display panel.

If the LED U-Batt appears after

connection the impulse counter and
power supply to the impulse counter are
in order.

Testing

-------------------------------

Connect impulse counter in accordance

with connecting diagram.

Note
LED U-Batt must light up in display panel. If
not, set multimeter to voltage mode and:
a) Test socket 1 of test connection X92
against positive battery terminal (11-14V).

b) Test socket 6 of test connection X92
against socket 1 (6-12V).

Operate start button for 2-4 seconds.
Read off and record impulse output

display.

Operate start button again for 2-4

seconds. If no further faults are present in
the system, the previously displayed
value will reappear.

Rectify recorded faults (impulse output) in

accordance with fault diagnosis program.

Carry out checks on individual

components.

Reset fault memory
After a fault has been rectified, the displayed
impulse must be cancelled as follows:

Operate start button and read off rectified

fault, then operate start button for at least
6-8 seconds.

Note
Every impulse displayed must be cancelled
individually.

If no display, the stored fault has been

cancelled.
