• Check wires between test box and 5-pin connector for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

Terminal 2+socket 102

Terminal 3 + socket 94

Terminal 4 + socket 103

Wire resistance: max. 1.5 Ω

• Also check wires for short circuit to each other.

Specified value: ∞ Ω

• Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data 
• Generate readiness code. Refer to Readiness code, generating 

If no malfunctions are found in the wires and there was voltage between terminal 1 + 5:

• Replace Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM), replacing .
