1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions, and graphics
needed to diagnose the Sprinter Chassis system
problems: Bosch 5.7 ABS/ESP/TCS (ASR) Braking
System. The diagnostics in this manual are based
on the failure condition or symptom being present
at time of diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the vehicle system being diagnosed. If the
DRBIIItdisplays a ``No Response'' condition, you
must diagnose that first.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is iden-
tified locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the system.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All sche-
matics are in Section 10.0.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service manual for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added; carryover sys-
tems maybe enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL BE-
FORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE DI-
AGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. It is recommended
that you review the entire manual to become famil-
iar with all new and changed diagnostic procedures.
This manual reflects many suggested changes
from readers of past issues. After using this man-
ual, if you have any comments or recommendations,
please fill out the form at the back of the manual
and mail it back.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedure manual covers the An-
tilock Braking System (ABS), the Electronic Stabil-
ity Program (ESP) and the Traction Control System
(TCS) found on the Sprinter.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the Antilock Brake Systems is done
in six basic steps:
²Verification of complaint
²Verification of any related symptoms
²Symptom analysis
²Problem isolation
²Repair of isolated problem
²Verification of proper operation
2.0 INDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The Bosch 5.7 system can be identified by the 42
way Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), Hydraulic
Control Unit (HCU) and Pump Motor being an
integral electronic/hydraulic unit mounted below
the Master Cylinder with four Wheel Speed Sen-
sors, one at each wheel.
Vehicles with the Traction Control System (TCS/
ASR) can be identified by the presence of the
Traction Control System Switch (TCCS) located on
the center instrument panel.
Vehicles with Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
can be identified by the presence of the Steering
Angle Sensor and the Lateral Acceleration/Yaw
Sensor.
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
3.1 ESP
The ESP system consists of the electronic control/
hydraulic unit, steering angle sensor, lateral
acceleration/yaw sensor and wheel speed sensors.
When the vehicle is in a turn, the ESP looks at the
steering wheel angle sensor value and monitors the
wheel speed of the inner and outer wheels to ensure
the values are plausible. The steering angle sensor
also measures the speed at which the steering
wheel is turned.
The ESP control module is very similar to the
ABS/ASR module. The ESP is comprised of several
other systems, namely theHBA, ABS, TCS (ASR),
EBDandFZRsystems.
3.2 ABS
The Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) is used to
monitor wheel speeds and modulates (controls) hy-
draulic pressure in each brake channel. The modu-
lated hydraulic pressure is used to prevent wheel
lock up during braking and maintain vehicle stabil-
ity. The CAB also provides a vehicle speed signal
(VSS) to the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
During a non-ABS stop, the system functions as a
standard braking system. The CAB uses special
sortware that monitors the wheel speed(s) and
when certain criteria are met, the software will
1
GENERAL INFORMATION

read opposite switch states.Note: The BS and
BLS are in the same switch housing.
BRAKE LAMP SWITCH (BLS):This switch pre-
pares the CAB for a possible antilock event. The
CAB uses an output state voltage from the BLS
when the brake pedal is either depressed/released.
The Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit supplies
12 volts to the BLS. A depressed brake pedal will
close the BLS circuit and the BLS Output circuit
supplies 12 volts at the CAB. When the driver
releases the brake pedal, the BLS Output circuit
voltage drops to 0 volts and the CAB senses the
brake pedal state. This tells the CAB what position
the brake pedal is currently in to make an ABS
event possible. When using the DRBIIItin Inputs/
Outputs, the BS and BLS will read opposite switch
states.Note: The BS and BLS are in the same
switch housing.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM SWITCH
(TCSS):This switch signals the CAB to either turn
ON or OFF the TCS. The driver can toggle the
TCSS, which receives 12 volts from the D (+) Relay
Output circuit. Depending on the position of the
TCSS, open or closed, the CAB receives the TCSS
state voltage on the TCS Switch Sense circuit.
When 12 volts are applied to the TCS Switch Sense
circuit, the TCS is OFF. When no voltage is present,
the TCS is ON.
WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND TONE
WHEELS:The Bosch 5.7 system uses one passive
WSS on each wheel. The sensor measures the wheel
speed by monitoring a rotating tone wheel. As the
teeth of the tone wheel move through the magnetic
field of the sensor an AC voltage and amperage is
generated. This signal frequency increases or de-
creases proportionally to the speed of the wheel.
The CAB monitors this signal to check for a sudden
change in single or multiple wheel decelerations. If
the deceleration of one or more wheels is not within
a predetermined amount, the CAB takes control for
antilock action through the HCU. Each WSS has a
magnetic inductive pick up coil (WSS) that is
mounted to a fixed component. There is an air gap
between the tone wheel and the speed sensor as-
sembly. Diagnostically, the coils of the Wheel Speed
Sensors have the same amount of resistance. When
measured across the CAB harness connector termi-
nals, the resistance should be between 1100 - 1800
ohms. Refer to service manual for WSS replacement
and air gap specifications.
Correct ABS operation is dependent on Tone
Wheel speed signal from the WSS. The vehicle
wheels and tires should all be the same size and
type to get accurate signals. In addition, all tires
should be at recommended tire pressures.3.7.5 SELF TESTS
The system software includes several self tests
that are performed every time the ignition is turned
on and the vehicle is driven. Some of the self tests
occur immediately, while others occur under normal
driving conditions while not in antilock operation.
The CAB checks continuously for a missing or
erratic WSS signals/circuits, tone wheels, solenoids,
pump motor or solenoid relay by performing several
tests such as: dynamic, static, ohmic, voltage drop,
and timed response. If any component exhibits a
fault during testing, the CAB will request to illumi-
nate the ABS and TCS warning indicators.
As an additional check of the ESP system, a road
test procedure is available on the DRBIIIt. This
test should be carried out when any ESP component
is replaced in order to ensure proper function. Since
the wheel speed sensors are required inputs to the
ESP, this test should also be performed if the wheel
speed sensors are replaced.
First, the brakes are applied with the vehicle
stationary. Then, the vehicle is driven at approxi-
mately 6 MPH. The driver has to make left and
right turns, with a minimum 90 degree steering
turning angle. If the indicator lamp goes out, every-
thing is in order. If the lamp remains illuminated,
the DRBIIItwill display the fault codes that are
causing the test to fail. The road test function is set
in the ESP control module, and can only be deacti-
vated once there are no more fault codes detected.
The Steering Angle Sensor must be initialized. A
procedure is carried out using the DRBIIItto
ensure that the module detects the exact position of
the sensor. The sensor must be calibrated any time
wheel alignment is changed, the steering column is
removed and re-installed, or the sensor is replaced.
3.8 USING THE DRBIIIT
Refer to the DRBIIItuser 's guide for instructions
and assistance with reading diagnostic trouble
codes, erasing diagnostic trouble codes and other
DRBIIItfunctions.
3.9 DRBIIITERROR MESSAGES
Under normal operation, the DRBIIItwill dis-
play one of only two error messages:
Ð User-Requested WARM Boot or User-Requested
COLD Boot.
If the DRBIIItshould display any other error
message, record the entire display and call the
STAR Center for information and assistance. This

16-way connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts
is required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Also
check for a good ground at DLC.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result or a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring.
3.9.2 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE

Set the parking brake and block the wheels before
testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially
important to block the wheels on front-wheel drive
vehicles; the parking brake does not hold the front
drive wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye pro-
tection, and remove any metal jewelry such as
watchbands or bracelets that might make an inad-
vertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing an antilock brake or adjustable
pedals system problem, it is important to follow
approved procedures where applicable. These pro-
cedures can be found in the service manual. Follow-
ing these procedures is very important to safety of
individuals performing diagnostic tests.
4.2.2 VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR
TESTING
Make sure the vehicle being tested has a fully
charged battery. If it does not, false diagnostic codes
or error messages may occur.
4.2.3 SERVICING SUB-ASSEMBLIES
Some components of the antilock brake and trac-
tion control are intended to be serviced in assembly
only. Attempting to remove or repair certain sub-
components may result in personal injury and/or
improper system operation. Only those components
with approved repair and installation procedures in
the service manual should be serviced.

correctly. Take a reading of a known voltage or
current before accepting a zero reading.
± When measuring current, connect the meter in
series with test load.
± When using the meter function, keep the
DRBIIItaway from spark plug or coil wires to
avoid measuring error from outside interfer-
ence.
4.3 WARNING
4.3.1 VEHICLE DAMAGE WARNINGS
Before disconnecting any control module, make
sure the ignition is ``off ''. Failure to do so could
damage the module.
When testing voltage or continuity at any control
module, use the terminal side (not the wire end) of
the connector. Do not probe a wire through the
insulation; this will damage it and eventually cause
it to fail because of corrosion.
Be careful when performing electrical tests so as
to prevent accidental shorting of terminals. Such
mistakes can damage fuses or components. Also, a
second code could be set, making diagnosis of the
original problem more difficult.
4.3.2 ROAD TESTING A COMPLAINT
VEHICLE
Some complaints will require a test drive as part
of the repair verification procedure. The purpose of
the test drive is to try to duplicate the diagnostic
code or symptom condition.
CAUTION: Before road testing a vehicle, be
sure that all components are reassembled.
During the test drive, do not try to read the
DRBIIITscreen while in motion. Do not hang
the DRBIIITfrom the rear view mirror or
operate it yourself. Have an assistant
available to operate the DRBIIIT.
4.4 DIAGNOSIS
1. Your diagnostic test procedure must begin with a
thorough visual inspection of the system in ques-
tion for damaged components or disconnected
connectors. For ABS, the brake lamps must be
operational prior to continuing.
2. Connect the DRBIIItto the data link connector
located under the dash. If the DRBIIItdoes not
power up, check the power and ground supplies
to the connector.
3. Select the system in question. Turn the ignition
on. If the DRBIIItdisplays ``No Responseº, refer
to Communication in the Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedures manual to diagnose the symptom.
4. Read and record all diagnostic trouble codes. If
any additional codes are present, proceed to the
appropriate test.
5. For ABS, if there are no diagnostic trouble codes
present, select ``Inputs/Outputs'' and read the
Brake Switch and Brake Lamp Switch inputs as
you press and release the brake pedal. If the
6
GENERAL INFORMATION

display does not match the state of the pedal,
perform the proper test. For a problem with the
ªABSº warning indicator, refer to the proper test.
6. If no other problems are found, it will be neces-
sary to road test the vehicle.THE DRBIIIt
MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO THE
DATA LINK CONNECTOR WHEN ROAD
TESTING FOR PROPER ANTILOCK OP-
ERATION. THE SYSTEM IS DISABLED
WHILE IN DIAGNOSTIC MODE.Perform
several antilock stops from above 50 Km/h (30
mph) and then repeat steps 2, 3, and 4. If any
diagnostic trouble codes are present, proceed to
the appropriate test.
7. The following conditions should be considered
``NORMAL'' operation, and no repairs should be
attempted to correct them.
± Brake pedal feedback during an ABS stop
(clicking, vibrating)
± Clicking, groaning or buzzing at 12 Km/h (8
mph) (drive off self test)
± Groaning noise during an ABS stop
± Slight brake pedal drop and pop noise when
ignition is initially turned on
± Brake pedal ratcheting down at the end of an
ABS stop
8. If the complaint is ABS ``cycling'' at the end of a
stop at low speeds, it may be caused by a
marginal wheel speed sensor signal. The sensor
air gap, tone wheel condition, and/or brakes
hanging up are possible causes of this condition.
9. After a road test in which no problems were
found, refer to any Technical Service Bulletins
that may apply.
