LOCATION:    3.1 Model 140  Pneumatic System Equipment (PSE) >   32 Pneumatic Test Program - Test (CL)


Pneumatic Test Program - Test (CL)

Preliminary work:
Diagnosis - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory 11 PSE
PSE Control Module Test 32 PSE

Data (mbar)

Test procedure Permissible deviation
Allowable system leakage at 600 mbar pressure or 300 mbar vacuum in 1 minute. 30 mbar
Allowable leakage of actuators with lines at 600 mbar pressure or 300 mbar vacuum
in 1 minute.
25 mbar

Preparation for Test:
Vehicles up to 07/94:
1. Disconnect pneumatic multiple connector from PSE control module.
2. Connect tester to bottom side of pneumatic multiple connector at
ZV (CL) using connector 129 805 04 44.
Vehicles as of 08/94:
1. Disconnect yellow pneumatic line with socket from PSE control module.
2. Connect tester to disconnected pneumatic line using connector
129 805 04 44.

Parts Required for Test:
1 Connector 129 805 04 44
2 Connection hose, 50 mm long 007 997 61 82
1 Pneumatic line, 1 m long 000 158 14 35

Note:
The connections on the PSE control module and pneumatic multiple connector are marked with their German acronyms. In other words:
ZV (German) = CL (English),
RH (German) = BA (English),
FKS (German) = RHR (English),
SFG (German) = RTG (English),
PÜ/P+ (OSL) (German) = PÜ/P+ (OSB) (English),
PU/P- (SRU) (German) = PU/P- (MVA) (English).



Test scope Test connection Test condition Nominal value Possible cause/Remedy
1.0 Complete system pressurized Yellow connector
on tester.
Connector ZV on bottom side of multiple connector.
Apply 600 mbar pressure to entire system. Pressure loss
30 mbar in
1 minute.

33 PSE 2.0,
32 4.0

Preparation for Test:
Vehicles up to 07/94:
1. Pry off yellow central locking (CL) pneumatic line at pneumatic multiple connector (using a 7 mm open end wrench).
2. Connect tester in sequence to each of the yellow CL pneumatic lines using connector 007 997 61 82.
Vehicles as of 08/94:
1. Disconnect pneumatic line leading to the non-operating pneumatic actuator at the pneumatic distributor. Letters on the distributor indicate to which of the CL actuators the pneumatic line leads.
A Left front door D Right rear door
B Right front door E Fuel tank filler flap
C Left rear door F Trunk lid

Note:
1. If an actuator does not operate correctly and no leakage is found, check the respective lines for kinks or blockages.
2. On vehicles as of approx. 06/94, the disconnected pneumatic lines are to be reconnected to the distributor with connector 007 997 61 82.
