If the diode test lamp lights up:

- Replace power output stage.

Note:
Before installing new power output stage coat
metal side with heat paste (part no. G 052 170
A1). The heat paste is used to prevent corrosion
between the power output stage and the
fastening point, it is also used to transfer heat
from the power output stage.

CAUTION!

Part numbers are only for reference, always
check with your parts department for latest
information.
