wheel AUDI A4 1999 B5 / 1.G Brakes ESP Electrical Testing Workshop Manual

Note:  
     The operation manual for the VAS1978 wiring 
harness repair kit generally forbids the repair of 
any lines in the ABS or related systems. This rule 
only pertains to the shielded lines in these 
systems. 
     
Ignition and electrical consumers switched 
off before beginning testing (headlights, 
lighting, fan, etc.). 
     For steps 13 through 16, raise the vehicle 
until the wheels rotate freely. On vehicles 
with manual transmission put the gear shift 
lever in neutral. On vehicles with automatic 
transmission move the selector lever to 
position "N".
