The hydraulic circuit diagram shows a systematic representation of
an ABS/EDL system. This will give a better understanding of the
various test steps in the output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM).
shaded components are in action.Thin solid lines represent hydraulic lines or hoses that are not under
pressure. Thick broken lines represent hydraulic lines or hoses working as
suction lines. Thick solid lines represent hydraulic lines or hoses that are under
pressure.

fl wheel locked

Indicated on display:

When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid pressure will be built up in all
four calipers. All four wheels lock.
Requirement for this: mechanical/hydraulic components of the brake
system must be fully functional. This means that the master brake cylinder
is able to build up pressure in all wheel cylinders and the hydraulic
connections and lines are all sealed properly.

If the wheels do not lock, visually inspect brake fluid reservoir, master
brake cylinder, hydraulic unit, and calipers.
Concentrate on the left-front wheel first. The function of the control
elements for this wheel is tested first.
Note:
This test step in the output diagnostic test mode corresponds to the
"pressure build-up" phase during ABS-controlled braking.

Indicated on display:
- Keep pressing brake pedal.

Inlet valve is activated. It interrupts the brake line. However, fluid pressure
is still maintained in the wheel cylinder. The left-front wheel remains
locked.
Note:
This test step in the output diagnostic test mode corresponds to the
"maintain pressure" phase during ABS-controlled braking.

Indicated on display:

Keep pressing brake pedal. The inlet valve and the outlet valve for the
left-front wheel are activated. The hydraulic pump starts running and
reduces the fluid pressure in the caliper via the open outlet valve.
The brake pedal must not give, and should press harder against your
foot.
You should now be able to turn the left-front wheel.

If you cannot turn the wheel, check whether the
brake line for the left-front wheels is connected
correctly.

If yes, this indicates a mechanical malfunction in one of the valves,
providing there is no electrical malfunction in the system. Replace
hydraulic control unit.
If the pedal gives under your foot, this means that the inlet valve or the
check valve activated in parallel to the inlet valve is leaking. Replace
hydraulic unit.
Note:
This test step in the output diagnostic test mode corresponds to the
"pressure reduction" phase during ABS-controlled braking.

Indicated on display:
ABS hydraulic pump -V64- will stop running.
- Keep pressing brake pedal. Only the inlet valve is still activated and
interrupts the brake line. If the inlet valve is not leaking, you should be
able to turn the left-front wheel.

If you cannot turn the wheel, this means that the inlet valve or the check
valve activated in parallel to the inlet valve is leaking. Replace hydraulic
control unit.

Indicated on display:

- Keep pressing brake pedal. Inlet valve is no longer being activated. It is
no longer interrupting the brake line. The brake pedal will give
perceptibly under your foot. Fluid pressure is built again in the left-front
caliper. The wheel will be locked.
