A/C system signal, checking

The A/C system signal notifies the Engine
Control Module (ECM), that the A/C system
requires a higher idle speed to achieve the
desired interior temperature (regardless of
whether heating or cooling is required).
The increase in idle speed based on presence of
the A/C system signal is control module
dependent and occurs only in vehicles with All
Wheel Drive (AWD) and manual transmission.

Rough terrain signal from ABS/EDL
control module, checking


Notes:

When the ABS/EDL control module recognizes
that a wheel is spinning, the ABS/EDL control
module generates the rough terrain signal.
When the Engine Control Module (ECM)
recognizes the rough terrain signal, combustion
misfire recognition is switched off in the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
Only check the rough terrain signal if the
malfunction "18014 (P1606) rough terrain
info/engine torque from ABS cont. mod.
Electrical malfunction in circuit" is stored DTC
memory.It is possible that the malfunction
"Combustion misfire" is also stored in DTC
memory as a side effect and it can be
disregarded.
The wire connection and rough terrain signal
are monitored by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
