Signal missing

Checking the component
Remove the relay (2/59). Check the relay base switches. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Install the relay.
Activate the relay.
If the function is now OK the fault was caused by a contact fault in the relay base.

Other information:
- To access the integrated relay / fusebox in the cargo compartment, see Integrated relay / fusebox cargo compartment / rear electronic module, replacing Integrated Relay/Fusebox Cargo Compartment/Rear Electronic Module (REM), Replacing
- Checking wiring and terminals Checking Wiring And Terminals.









Was the function OK?

Yes - Verification

No - Replacing the component

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

Replacing the component
Replace the relay, 2/59.
Activate the relay.
If the function is now OK, the cause of the fault was a defective relay (short-circuit to ground or an open-circuit in the relay coil).

Was the function OK?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking the wiring

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

Checking the wiring
- Remove relay RMI 21, 2/59.
Check the driver circuit for the relay coil for an open-circuit as follows: activate the relay driver. Measure the voltage between terminals #1 and #2 on the relay base.

Hint: The voltage between terminals #1 and #2 should be battery voltage.
If the value deviates excessively, check the voltage between terminal #2 and the battery voltage and between terminal #1 and ground. Both should equal battery voltage.
Check for an open-circuit.
Do not forget to check that the power supply to the control module is OK.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - Checking the control module for short-circuits

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

Checking the control module for short-circuits
Measure the resistance between terminal #2 and ground when the relay driver is active.
The resistance should be high when the relay driver is active.
Replace the control module if the resistance is low.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate the relay.
If the function is now OK, the cause of the fault was a short-circuit to supply voltage in the relay driver circuit.
