3.1.2 CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted on the steering col-
umn under the steering wheel. This assembly con-
sists of a plastic housing which contains a flat,
ribbon-like, electrically conductive tape that winds
and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. The
clockspring is used to maintain a continuous elec-
trical circuit between the instrument panel wiring
and the driver airbag and the horn. The clockspring
must be properly centered when it is reinstalled on
the steering column following any service proce-
dure, or it could be damaged. The clockspring can-
not be repaired and it must be replaced.

3.1.4 SEAT BELT TENSIONERS
Front seat belt systems incorporate a Driver and
optional Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner Retractors.
At the onset of an impact event each tensioner uses
a pyrotechnic device, which is triggered simulta-
neously with the front airbags, to rapidly retract
the seat belts. With the slack removed, the occu-
pant's forward motion in an impact will be reduced
as will the likelihood of contacting interior compo-
nents. After an impact that deploys the airbag, the
seat belt tensioner assembly must be replaced. The
ACM module monitors the Seat Belt Tensioners
circuit resistance and reports active and stored
DTCs if any problem is found. Follow all of the
safety procedures when servicing tensioner.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions, and graphics
needed to diagnose the Sprinter Chassis system
problems: Bosch 5.7 ABS/ESP/TCS (ASR) Braking
System. The diagnostics in this manual are based
on the failure condition or symptom being present
at time of diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the vehicle system being diagnosed. If the
DRBIIItdisplays a ``No Response'' condition, you
must diagnose that first.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is iden-
tified locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the system.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All sche-
matics are in Section 10.0.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service manual for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems maybe enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL BE-
FORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE DI-
AGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. It is recommended
that you review the entire manual to become famil-
iar with all new and changed diagnostic procedures.
This manual reflects many suggested changes
from readers of past issues. After using this man-
ual, if you have any comments or recommendations,
please fill out the form at the back of the manual
and mail it back.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedure manual covers the An-
tilock Braking System (ABS), the Electronic Stabil-
ity Program (ESP) and the Traction Control System
(TCS) found on the Sprinter.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the Antilock Brake Systems is done
in six basic steps:
²Verification of complaint
²Verification of any related symptoms
²Symptom analysis
²Problem isolation
²Repair of isolated problem
²Verification of proper operation
2.0 INDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The Bosch 5.7 system can be identified by the 42
way Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), Hydraulic
Control Unit (HCU) and Pump Motor being an
integral electronic/hydraulic unit mounted below
the Master Cylinder with four Wheel Speed Sen-
sors, one at each wheel.
Vehicles with the Traction Control System (TCS/
ASR) can be identified by the presence of the
Traction Control System Switch (TCCS) located on
the center instrument panel.
Vehicles with Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
can be identified by the presence of the Steering
Angle Sensor and the Lateral Acceleration/Yaw
Sensor.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 ESP
The ESP system consists of the electronic control/
hydraulic unit, steering angle sensor, lateral
acceleration/yaw sensor and wheel speed sensors.
When the vehicle is in a turn, the ESP looks at the
steering wheel angle sensor value and monitors the
wheel speed of the inner and outer wheels to ensure
the values are plausible. The steering angle sensor
also measures the speed at which the steering
wheel is turned.
The ESP control module is very similar to the
ABS/ASR module. The ESP is comprised of several
other systems, namely theHBA, ABS, TCS (ASR),
EBDandFZRsystems.
3.2 ABS
The Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) is used to
monitor wheel speeds and modulates (controls) hy-
draulic pressure in each brake channel. The modu-
lated hydraulic pressure is used to prevent wheel
lock up during braking and maintain vehicle stabil-
ity. The CAB also provides a vehicle speed signal
(VSS) to the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
During a non-ABS stop, the system functions as a
standard braking system. The CAB uses special
sortware that monitors the wheel speed(s) and
when certain criteria are met, the software will
1
GENERAL INFORMATION

read opposite switch states.Note: The BS and
BLS are in the same switch housing.
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH (BLS):This switch pre-
pares the CAB for a possible antilock event. The
CAB uses an output state voltage from the BLS
when the brake pedal is either depressed/released.
The Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit supplies
12 volts to the BLS. A depressed brake pedal will
close the BLS circuit and the BLS Output circuit
supplies 12 volts at the CAB. When the driver
releases the brake pedal, the BLS Output circuit
voltage drops to 0 volts and the CAB senses the
brake pedal state. This tells the CAB what position
the brake pedal is currently in to make an ABS
event possible. When using the DRBIIItin Inputs/
Outputs, the BS and BLS will read opposite switch
states.Note: The BS and BLS are in the same
switch housing.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM SWITCH
(TCSS):This switch signals the CAB to either turn
ON or OFF the TCS. The driver can toggle the
TCSS, which receives 12 volts from the D (+) Relay
Output circuit. Depending on the position of the
TCSS, open or closed, the CAB receives the TCSS
state voltage on the TCS Switch Sense circuit.
When 12 volts are applied to the TCS Switch Sense
circuit, the TCS is OFF. When no voltage is present,
the TCS is ON.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND TONE
WHEELS:The Bosch 5.7 system uses one passive
WSS on each wheel. The sensor measures the wheel
speed by monitoring a rotating tone wheel. As the
teeth of the tone wheel move through the magnetic
field of the sensor an AC voltage and amperage is
generated. This signal frequency increases or de-
creases proportionally to the speed of the wheel.
The CAB monitors this signal to check for a sudden
change in single or multiple wheel decelerations. If
the deceleration of one or more wheels is not within
a predetermined amount, the CAB takes control for
antilock action through the HCU. Each WSS has a
magnetic inductive pick up coil (WSS) that is
mounted to a fixed component. There is an air gap
between the tone wheel and the speed sensor as-
sembly. Diagnostically, the coils of the Wheel Speed
Sensors have the same amount of resistance. When
measured across the CAB harness connector termi-
nals, the resistance should be between 1100 - 1800
ohms. Refer to service manual for WSS replacement
and air gap specifications.
Correct ABS operation is dependent on Tone
Wheel speed signal from the WSS. The vehicle
wheels and tires should all be the same size and
type to get accurate signals. In addition, all tires
should be at recommended tire pressures.3.7.5 SELF TESTS
The system software includes several self tests
that are performed every time the ignition is turned
on and the vehicle is driven. Some of the self tests
occur immediately, while others occur under normal
driving conditions while not in antilock operation.
The CAB checks continuously for a missing or
erratic WSS signals/circuits, tone wheels, solenoids,
pump motor or solenoid relay by performing several
tests such as: dynamic, static, ohmic, voltage drop,
and timed response. If any component exhibits a
fault during testing, the CAB will request to illumi-
nate the ABS and TCS warning indicators.
As an additional check of the ESP system, a road
test procedure is available on the DRBIIIt. This
test should be carried out when any ESP component
is replaced in order to ensure proper function. Since
the wheel speed sensors are required inputs to the
ESP, this test should also be performed if the wheel
speed sensors are replaced.
First, the brakes are applied with the vehicle
stationary. Then, the vehicle is driven at approxi-
mately 6 MPH. The driver has to make left and
right turns, with a minimum 90 degree steering
turning angle. If the indicator lamp goes out, every-
thing is in order. If the lamp remains illuminated,
the DRBIIItwill display the fault codes that are
causing the test to fail. The road test function is set
in the ESP control module, and can only be deacti-
vated once there are no more fault codes detected.
The Steering Angle Sensor must be initialized. A
procedure is carried out using the DRBIIItto
ensure that the module detects the exact position of
the sensor. The sensor must be calibrated any time
wheel alignment is changed, the steering column is
removed and re-installed, or the sensor is replaced.
3.8 USING THE DRBIIIT
