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
