Pneumatic Test Program - Test (CL)

Preparation for Test:
1. Review section 0,
2. Review C/1, C/2, 11, 20, 21, 22, 31, 32

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:
1. Provide access to PSE control module (A37) and disconnect yellow pneumatic line with socket from PSE control module.
2. Connect tester to disconnected pneumatic line using with connector
129 805 03 44.


If an actuator does not operate correctly and no leakage is found, check the respective lines for kinks or blockages.

Parts Required for Test:
1 Connector 202 805 03 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),
SRU (German) = MVA (English),
OSL (German) = OSB (English).

Test scope Test connection Test condition Nominal value Possible cause/Remedy
1.0 Complete system pressurized Yellow connector
on tester.
Apply 600 mbar pressure to entire system. Pressure loss
30 mbar in
1 minute.
32 PSE/CL 7.0
2.0 Complete system evacuated Black connector
on tester.

32 PSE/CL 8.0

Preparation for Test:
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


1. If an actuator does not operate correctly and no leakage is found, check the respective lines for kinks or blockages.
2. Disconnected pneumatic lines are to be reconnected to the distributor with connector 007 997 61 82.
