No malfunction recognized!
If this display appears, process
is concluded. No DTCs are
stored in DTC memory.
If corresponding warning lamps
light up anyway, check the
following points:
Voltage supply for ABS control module -J104-
below 10.5 volts at a vehicle speed less than 6
km/h. Open circuit in activation wire for ABS warning
light -K47- between ABS control module (w/EDL) -
J104- and instrument cluster combination
processor -J218-. - See section "Overview of
indicator lamp functions"
If no malfunction can be found, and there is still a
problem, there may be a mechanical malfunction (e.g.
solenoid valve sticking). - Expand troubleshooting to
