Note:
The operation manual for the VAS1978 wiring harness repair kit generally
forbids the repair of any lines in the ABS or related systems. This rule only
pertains to the shielded lines in these systems.
Multi-pin harness connector for ABS control module -J104- in proper
condition, with no bent, broken or corroded terminals. Replace any
damaged terminals using VAS1978 wiring repair kit. Ignition and electrical consumers switched off before beginning
testing (headlights, lighting, fan, etc.). For steps 13 through 16, raise the vehicle until the wheels rotate
freely. On vehicles with manual transmission put the gear shift lever in
neutral. On vehicles with automatic transmission move the selector
lever to position "N".

Troubleshooting & Component Locations - If ABS warning light does not come on,
check voltage of electrical system and test
wiring from terminal 32 of ABS control
module -J104- to instrument cluster for
short circuit to Ground (GND).
- The ABS warning lamp does not switch
off after 2 seconds. The red "brake system
malfunction" symbol lights up after 2
seconds. Check wire from terminal 32 of
ABS control module -J104- to instrument
cluster for short circuit to B+ and open
circuit.

Voltage supply
Signal too small

Notes:

This malfunction affects the voltage supply
of the control module.
This DTC is only stored, if the malfunction
occurs at a vehicle speed above 6 km/h.
As soon as vehicle voltage is within the
valid voltage range again, the ABS,
ABS/EDL or ASR system is switched back
on and the warning lights turn off.
Open circuit or resistance too high
between voltage supply of terminal 15
and ABS control module -J104-
(terminal 1). Voltage jumps in vehicle system.Battery malfunctioning.
