Electrical Malfunction   Was an exhaust test carried out in 
which only the front axle was moved 
and the rear axle was stationary?  
  
- These conditions cause a malfunction to be 
stored in the DTC memory. During exhaust tests, 
the fuse must be removed from the ABS control 
module. After the exhaust test, ABS control module 
and engine control module DTC memory must be 
erased. 
  
Malfunction cause found: Yes    
No   
  
- Erase DTC memory, test drive and after test 
drive, check DTC memory again 
MIL Status:  
Malfunction not 
displayed by MIL   If there are ABS system 
malfunctions, the malfunctions P1606 / 
18014 are also stored in the engine 
control module. Is a malfunction stored 
in the ABS control module?

 If a rough road is recognized by the ABS control module, the combustion misfiring recognition in the engine control 
module is switched off by the "rough road info" from the ABS control module.

 This malfunction can only occur in connection with an automatic transmission.
 If there are malfunctions recognized that are related to the exhaust system, the automatic transmission switches the MIL 
on via the request wire.

Notes:  
     
The output diagnostic test mode can only be 
carried out with the ignition switched on and the 
engine NOT running. 
     The output diagnostic test mode is interrupted if 
the engine is started or a rotary pulse is 
recognized. 
     During the output diagnostic test mode, the 
individual outputs are triggered until the 
program is continued by pressing the   button. 
     
The outputs are checked by listening for the 
sound of the component being actuated, of by 
feeling for mechanical evidence of actuation 
(clicking, vibration, etc.). 
     Without letting the engine run briefly, switch the 
ignition off for approx. 20 sec before repeating 
the output diagnostic test mode.
