A self-test is performed after the ignition is switched on. If all systems
are OK, warning lights, the ABS warning light -K47- and traction
control indicator light -K86- go out after approximately three seconds.
If the indicator lamps do not light up, check the relevant lamps carry
out "Electrical Test", steps 17 and 19. The possible causes are as
follows:

The battery voltage is insufficient. None of the lamps in the instrument
cluster light up. Check the battery. The ABS warning light -K47- does not light up during the self-test. There
is a short to Ground (GND) in the wiring that controls the ABS/EDL
warning light between terminal 32 of the ABS control module -J104- and
the instrument cluster. This malfunction does NOT influence the control
of the traction control indicator light.

The traction control indicator light does not turn off after the self-
test.


There is a malfunction that only affects the traction control. The
ABS/EDL and EBD systems are not deactivated. Check DTC
memory page 01

.
Traction control has been switched off using the traction control
button. If the traction control indicator light does not light up in this
case, check the switch and the indicator light, carry out the
"Electrical test", steps 19 and 20. Short circuit to B+ in the ASR/ESP button: The traction control
indicator light goes out five minutes after the ignition is switched on.
Carry out "electrical test", step 20. There is a short to Ground (GND) in the wiring that controls the
traction control indicator light between terminal 31 of the ABS
control module -J104- and the instrument cluster. Carry out
"electrical test", step 19.

No DTCs are stored in DTC memory. The ABS and traction control
warning lights do not go out after the self-test, and three seconds
after the ignition is switched on the red "brake system malfunction"
symbol goes on. There is an open circuit or short circuit to B+ in the wiring that
controls the traction control indicator light between terminal 32 of
the ABS control module -J104- and the instrument cluster; carry
out "Electrical test" step 17. Voltage supply for control module less than 7 volts; carry out
"Electrical test" step 21.
