LED must blink (very brief blink)
The right-front wheel must not rotate; block it if necessary.For LEDs with little voltage consumption, the LED lights up at half
strength when the ignition is switched on.

CAN-Bus, checking

When a CAN-Bus malfunction is indicated during
a check of DTC memory of the Engine Control
Module (ECM), refer to the following test to
eliminate the malfunction.

Note:

The information exchange occurs between the
Engine Control Module (ECM) and the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) via a CAN-
Bus.
All signals are carried by 2 wires between the
ECM and the TCM.
