DIAGNOSIS/TROUBLESHOOTING PSM 5.3 (FAULT CODE 4400)

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Check lead from PSM control module to transverse acceleration sensor for short circuit to ground/open circuit
  • Switch off ignition
  • Pull plug off transverse acceleration sensor
  • Switch on ignition
  • Measure voltage between plug of sensor plug of transverse acceleration sensor pin 3 and ground
approx. 5 V
Step 2
Short circuit to ground/open circuit in electric circuit between PSM control module plug pin 75 and plug of transverse acceleration sensor pin 3 or PSM control module is faulty
->End
2 Check ground lead of the transverse acceleration sensor for open circuit
  • Measure voltage between plug of transverse acceleration sensor, pin 3 and the plug of of transverse acceleration sensor, pin 1
approx. 5 V
Step 3
Open circuit in circuit between PSM control module plug pin 19 and pin 1 of the transverse acceleration sensor plug, or PSM contol module faulty
->End
3 Check signal lead of the transverse acceleration sensor for short circuit to B+
  • Switch off ignition
  • Pull off the PSM control module plug
  • Switch on ignition
  • Measure voltage between PSM control module connector pin 18 and ground
< 0.3V
Step 4
Short circuit to B+ between PSM control module plug pin 18 and pin 2 of the transverse acceleration sensor plug
->End
4 Check signal lead of the transverse acceleration sensor for short circuit to ground
  • Switch off ignition
  • Measure resistance between PSM control module plug pin 18 and ground
Step 5 Short circuit to ground between PSM control module plug pin 18 and pin 2 of the transverse acceleration sensor plug
->End
5 Check signal lead of the transverse acceleration sensor for open circuit
  • Measure resistance between PSM control module plug pin 18 and pin 2 of the transverse acceleration sensor plug
< 5
Step 6
Open circuit between PSM control module plug pin 18 and pin 2 of the transverse acceleration sensor plug
->End
6 Transverse acceleration sensor faulty ->End
