Observe the following information in Service:
- Diagnosis on the long-range sensor (LRR) is performed by the ICM control unit. The ICM control unit is thus the gateway for the LRR control unit. If the ICM control unit is defective or not connected it will be impossible to conduct any LRR diagnosis: The control unit does not respond.
- After replacement, the ICM control unit must be recoded.
- New code data must be programmed into the long-range sensor following replacement.
- The short-range sensors are automatically encoded based on the pin assignments in the connection plug (no special code-programming session required following replacement of a short-range sensor).
- Following replacement of a long-range sensor the new unit must be adjusted: Use the corresponding service function.
- On replacement of a short-range sensor, observe the exact installation position: in accordance with the repair instructions. Adjustment of the kind required for the long-range sensor is not required. Instead, the new sensor's installation angle must be stored in the ICM control unit: Use the corresponding service function.
