 Notes on display field 1 (cont'd):  
The oxygen sensor control stop evaluation is also done by the diagnosis only after successful learning   learning 
requirement display: 
 Control stop max.: + 32% 
 Control stop min.: - 87.5% 
With values of more than   20% in "Basic Setting" function 04, the following malfunctions are possible:   Intake air leaks 
 Engine damage (oil burning with faulty piston)
Notes on display field 2:  
In display field 2 (learning range display), the momentary learning range (load status) is displayed. Only idle and partial 
throttle learning ranges are displayed since, at wide open throttle, no learning takes place. 
In order to reach the corresponding learning range (load status): 
 Idle: the vehicle should be allowed to run at idle (650-900 RPM)
 Partial throttle 1, 2 or 3: during test drive (with second person), increase engine speed to 1500-3000 RPM and generate 
load by lightly operating the brake

 Display group 022  
Notes:  
Display group 022 should only be considered on vehicles with traction control (ATC). 
Vehicles with traction control (ATC) can be recognized by the ATC indicator light in the instrument cluster and/or ABS (ATC) 
On Board Diagnostic (OBD). 
 Repair Manual, Brake System On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Repair Group 01.
   
The wheel slip information for traction control (ATC) is calculated in the ABS control module. If slip is recognized, the ABS 
control module requests a reduction in torque from the Engine Control Module (ECM). This torque reduction is divided into 12 
reducing stages. 
With a cold engine, coolant temperature less than 20 C (68 F), the reduction of engine torque is obtained: 
 With retarded ignition timing angle for lower reducing stages (1-5)
 By brief shut-off of individual fuel injectors for higher reducing stages (6-12) 
If the engine is warm, coolant temperature greater than 40 C (104 F), the engine torque reduction is obtained only by briefly 
switching off individual fuel injectors.
