TROUBLE SHOOTING
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Verify customer complaint by operating system. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical
damage. Check generator belt tension and condition. Ensure that battery voltage is within specifications. Inspect
for blown fuses and damaged relays.
Verify ground connection integrity between engine, body, battery and generator. Check for damaged wiring
harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause
system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any
aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found,
check for conditions that might cause an intermittent situation.
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
BATTERY DISCONNECT/CONNECT
Disconnect Procedures
1. On vehicles not equipped with TELE AID, go to step 5 . Vehicles equipped with TELE AID, switch
TELE AID into service mode by turning ignition ON.
2. Turn ON telephone and enter code "*#4610#" on handset.
3. Confirm that "No Telematics Service" appears on handset with okay.
4. Turn OFF handset.
5. Turn OFF ignition.
6. Open hood and open snap fasteners (1) on dust filter housing. See Fig. 2
.
7. Remove dust filter housing (2) exposing battery.
8. If not using quiescent current retention unit, go to step 14 . If using quiescent current retention unit, go to
next step.
9. Connect quiescent current retention unit by switching on quiescent current retention unit (7) and then first
connecting positive terminal (8) and negative terminal (9) of retention unit to positive cable and battery
ground (W10). See Fig. 3
.
10. On vehicles equipped with TELE AID, remove luggage compartment cargo anchoring lugs and remove
floor paneling.
11. Remove screws (1). See Fig. 4
.
12. Dismantle cover from TELE AID control module (A35/8).
