  1. Ascertain the possible quiescent current consumers on the problem fuse. See Assignment and lead connections for fuse blocks, insert sheet or "Electric Wiring Diagrams for models 163, 170, 202, 208, 210".

    IMPORTANT For arrangement of components, refer to "Electric Wiring Diagrams for models 163, 170, 202, 208, 210" or Diagnosis Manual.

    IMPORTANT LU Model 129: For arrangement of components, refer to binder "Electric Wiring Diagrams for Passenger Cars".

  2. Unplug connector on possible quiescent current consumer.
  3. Read off quiescent current on second multimeter.

    IMPORTANT If measuring at the fuse for the radio, or if the radio connector is unplugged, it must be noted that the quiescent current consumption rises by approx. 0.240 A (240 mA) when the radio is reconnected.

    This increase in quiescent current disappears when the battery is switched on and off again.

    IMPORTANT In vehicles with auto-pilot system (APS), an increased quiescent current consumption of approx. 800 mA occurs after insertion of the APS computer fuse for the duration of the computer boot-up procedure (approx. 30 min). This also applies if the computer connector is unplugged and reconnected.

    Quiescent current > 0.02 A (20 mA): 

    Quiescent current fault remains after connector is unplugged. Component is in order. Reconnect tested component.

  4. Conduct test as described with all components on the problem fuse.

Quiescent current ≤ 0,02 A (20 mA): 

Quiescent current fault is rectified after connector of relevant component is unplugged. Component defective. Replace: ↓

To check results, test total quiescent current again.
