Signal for rough terrain recognition,
checking


Note:

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).

Data transfer between Engine Control
Module (ECM) and CAN-capable control
modules, checking


Note:

Data exchange between individual control
modules occurs via a bus system.
The term "CAN-bus" refers to a system that
transports and distributes data.
The wire connections between the control
modules, via which data is transferred, are
referred to as data wires.
Data is transferred to the connected control
modules serially (one after the other) via these
data wires (i.e. engine speed, accelerator
position).

Checking bus system
The DTC table suggested checking the data
exchange between the Engine Control Module
(ECM) and CAN capable control modules.
