Connecting the Test box
NOTE: For connection of test box to the engine control module ECM Fenix 5.2, LH 3.2/ EZ129K or Motronic 4.3).
NOTE: The control module must be disconnected from the power supply whenever the test box is connected or disconnected. Failure to observe this procedure could seriously damage the control module.
- Ignition OFF
- Disconnect the transmission control module (TCM)
Connect adapter 981 3195 to the TCM connector and connect test box 981 3190 to the adapter.
NOTE: Ensure that adaptor is correctly fitted i.e. that measuring box cable harness is at outer side of box (i.e. fender side).
- TCM disconnected.
Proceed with checking the ground points GB2.
GB2
Checking ground points
- Ignition OFF
- Turn off all equipment in the car that takes power from the battery, e.g. interior lighting and radio etc.
Connect an ohmmeter between the battery negative terminal and:
- #20 (#A20) on the text box
- #29 (#A29) on the test box.
The ohmmeter should read approx. 0 Ohms for all readings.
If all readings are OK:
Return to fault-tracing procedure in progress.
If any reading is incorrect:
- Check ground points 31/32 and 31/33, the cables between the ground points and the TCM #A20 and #A29, for a break in the circuit as per FA2 and contact resistance and oxidation as per FA6. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections
- Check the ground cable between the battery and body point for breaks as per FA2, and contact resistance and oxidation as per FA6. FA. Checking Wiring and Connections
