Notes:

If the malfunction "18008" is displayed as a sporadic error, disregard malfunction display! This malfunction can be stored
when the engine runs for a fairly long time in idle with a lot of consumers on if the battery is quite discharged.
The malfunction "18008" is set as soon as the supply voltage lies under 10.08 V for longer than 1 sec (the control module
does not operate under 6.5 V).

Low Voltage The malfunction is set when the
battery/control module is disconnected
with ignition on or with a starting attempt
with ignition/control module

- The malfunction is erased after the second engine
start if there is sufficient supply voltage. Therefore,
start car after battery/control module is
disconnected; shut off and start car again, then
check DTC memory again.

Malfunction cause found: Yes

- Erase DTC memory, test drive and after test drive,
check DTC memory again
MIL Status:

battery and body

- Check ground cable for good contact on battery
terminal and check the threaded connection on the
body

Electrical Malfunction Was an exhaust test carried out in
which only the front axle was moved
and the rear axle was stationary?

- These conditions cause a malfunction to be
stored in the DTC memory. During exhaust tests,
the fuse must be removed from the ABS control
module. After the exhaust test, ABS control module
and engine control module DTC memory must be
erased.

Malfunction cause found: Yes
No

- Erase DTC memory, test drive and after test
drive, check DTC memory again
MIL Status:
Malfunction not

malfunctions, the malfunctions P1606 /
18014 are also stored in the engine
control module. Is a malfunction stored
in the ABS control module?
