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
using connector 129 805 04 44.
Vehicles as of 08/94:
1. Disconnect grey 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 Connector, 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).
