When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid pressure will be built up in all 
four calipers. All four wheels lock.  
Requirement for this: mechanical/hydraulic components of the brake 
system must be fully functional. This means that the master brake cylinder 
is able to build up pressure in all wheel cylinders and the hydraulic 
connections and lines are all sealed properly. If the wheels do not lock, 
visually inspect brake fluid reservoir, master brake cylinder, hydraulic unit, 
and calipers.  
Concentrate on the left-front wheel first. The function of the control 
elements for this wheel is tested first.  
Note:  
This test step in the output diagnostic test mode corresponds to the 
"pressure build-up" phase during ABS-controlled braking.

Inlet valve is activated. It interrupts the brake line. However, fluid pressure 
is still maintained in the wheel cylinder. The left-front wheel remains 
locked.

Indicated on display:  
Keep pressing brake pedal.  
The inlet valve and the outlet valve for the left-front wheel are activated. 
The hydraulic pump starts running and reduces the fluid pressure in the 
caliper via the open outlet valve.  
    
The brake pedal must not give, and should press harder against your 
foot.  
You should now be able to turn the left-front wheel.  
If you cannot turn the wheel, check whether the brake line for the left-front 
wheels is connected correctly. If yes, this indicates a mechanical 
malfunction in one of the valves, providing there is no electrical 
malfunction in the system. Replace hydraulic control unit.  
If the pedal gives under your foot, this means that the inlet valve or the 
check valve activated in parallel to the inlet valve is leaking. Replace 
hydraulic control unit.  
Note:  
This test step in the output diagnostic test mode corresponds to the 
"pressure reduction" phase during ABS-controlled braking.

Keep pressing brake pedal. Inlet valve is no longer being activated. It is 
no longer interrupting the brake line. The brake pedal will give perceptibly 
under your foot. Fluid pressure is built again in the left-front caliper. The 
wheel will be locked.

EDL valves/ Hydr-P : B+ Wheel fl/fr lock
    
Indicated on display: Only significant for troubleshooting on 
vehicles with EDL, starting with production deadline of calendar 
week 21/1997. For these vehicles, the test step was modified in 
parallel to implementation of EBD emergency mode. Prior to 
production deadline of calendar week 21/1997, the hydraulic pump is 
not activated. This test step does not apply to vehicles without EDL. 
The vehicle version, as relates to EBD, can be recognized by checking 
the note column under "Check control module version";   page 01
-128
 .  
    
The EDL change-over valve (left) and the EDL inlet valve are activated. 
ABS return flow pump -V39- runs for one second. It draws brake fluid from 
the brake fluid expansion tank via the EDL inlet valve. The hydraulic pump 
builds brake fluid pressure in the EDL regulated wheel cylinders. These 
wheels will then be locked.  
If not, this indicates a mechanical malfunction in one of the valves, 
providing there is no electrical malfunction in the system. Replace 
hydraulic control unit.  
This test step cannot be performed on vehicles that are not equipped with 
EDL. These vehicles lack the EDL valves and the pressure relief valve.
