ABS AUDI A6 1998 C5 / 2.G AHA Engine Auxiliary Signals Checking Workshop Manual

24-174

Rough road signal from ABS/EDL
control module, checking


Notes:

When the ABS/EDL control module senses a
wheel spinning, it produces the rough road
signal. When the ECM recognizes the rough
road signal, the misfire recognition is switched
off.
Check the rough road signal only when the
trouble code 18014 "Rough Road Spec Engine
Torque ABS-ECU Electrical Malfunction" is
stored. The possible "Misfire" malfunction is in
this case a subsequent malfunction that can be
disregarded.
The wiring and the rough road signal are
monitored by the ECM.
Emissions testing on a front-wheel drive vehicle
with ABS/EDL, during which only the front
wheels turn while the rear wheels are
stationary, can result in the DTC 18014 being
stored in DTC memory. Therefore, the fuse for
the ABS/EDL control module must be removed.
After the test, check DTC memory for the
ABS/EDL control module and the ECM. Then
erase DTC memory.

If the wiring is OK:
If the malfunction occurs again after the ABS control module has been
replaced: - Check signal wiring between ECM/test box terminal 45 and ABS
control module for short circuit or open circuit. - Replace ABS control module.
- Replace Motronic ECM -J220- page 01
