If, because of the extent of the damage to the vehicle or the position and external appearance of the hydraulic unit after the accident, it is obvious that the hydraulic unit has sustained a heavy shock, it must be renewed.
Indications of this are e.g.:
- Hydraulic lines kinked
- Connections on hydraulic unit leaking
- Cables or plug connections damaged
- Metal block of hydraulic unit shows signs of damage
- Hydraulic unit detached from its bracket and cannot be easily reinstalled.
If this does not apply, the system must nevertheless be subjected to a thorough function test.
The solenoid valves and pump must be checked with the help of the appropriate test steps of the Diagnosis Manual or the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
Testing and repair work
- All work involving the electronic accelerator pedal (EA) is described in Group 07 (ME-SFI, ECM, CDI).
