Electrical Test Program - Preparation for Test

Preliminary work: Diagnosis - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory 11

Preparation for Test
1. Ignition: OFF
2. Remove LH-SFI control module (N3/2 or N3/3).
3. After determining which LH-SFI control module (N3/2) and/or (N3/3) is indicating a malfunction, connect socket box with contact module 140 589 02 63 00 and contact box to respective LH-SFI control module (left, right or both one after another) according to connection diagram.
4. Test steps 1.2 - 1.4, 2.2 - 2.6, 4, 5 and 35 only!
Ignition: OFF
Remove base module (N16/1) and connect socket box with contact module 140 589 01 63 00 and contact box to base module (see DM, Chassis and Drivetrain, Volume 1, section 1, 22 ).


When performing test and adjustment work, the engine rpm should only be raised using the accelerator pedal.
If the engine speed is raised via the control linkage in the engine compartment, the"limp-home" mode will become active and will be registered as a DTC in the EA/CC/ISC control module. The
ASR MIL will also come on.

If installing a LH-SFI control module from another vehicle, the control module's self-adaptation feature must be reset to its mean value (see 11 )
