Limp-Home Mode, Function
Operation
In order to ensure a safe driving state and to prevent damage to the automatic transmission, the ECT control
module (N15/3) switches to limp-home mode in the event of critical faults. A fault code assigned to the fault is
stored in memory.
All solenoid and regulating valves are thus de-energized.
Effect
The gear last engaged remains engaged.
The modulating pressure and shift pressure rise to the maximum levels.
The torque converter lockup clutch is switched off.
In order to preserve the operability of the vehicle to some extent, the hydraulic control can be used to engage
2nd gear or reverse:
Stop Vehicle
Switch Off Engine
Move Selector Lever To "P"
Wait At Least 10 Seconds
Start Engine
Move Selector Lever To "D": 2Nd Gear
Move Selector Lever To "R"
The limp-home function remains active until the fault is rectified or the stored fault code is erased. Sporadic
faults can be reset via ignition OFF/ON.

REAR WINDOW WIPER MOTOR, FUNCTION - GF82.30-P-4106-01GH
The rear window wiper motor (M6/4) is controlled by the all-activity module (AAM) (N10) Wiper
operation :
The rear window wiper is in the non-actuated position and the cam switch is therefore actuated. The relay is
actuated by the AAM. The rear window wiper motor (M6/4) starts running . The cam switch is released. The
motor then continues to run even when the relay is no longer actuated. Upon reaching the park position the cam
switch is actuated. If the relay is no longer actuated the motor is stopped by short circuiting through a coil.

REAR WINDOW WIPER MOTOR, DESIGN - GF82.30-P-4106-02GH
The rear window wiper is driven by the rear window wiper motor (M6/4) with a cam switch (1) on the output
shaft. A temperature switch serves for overload protection.
with two normally open
contacts.
An LED indicator will be
added starting 1.9.2000.
