Retract spoiler" button actuated 
Check spoiler button or check the wiring from the spoiler button to the instrument cluster
-> End
4 Check power supply relay 9 (rear relay carrier)
  • Switch off ignition
  • Disconnect relay 9
  • Measure voltage between relay socket pin 5 and ground
Battery voltage
Step 5
Short circuit to ground/ open circuit in the wiring between fuse D7 and relay 3 or from relay no. 3 to relay no. 9 Repair wiring harness
-> End
5 Check ground lead relay 9 (rear relay carrier)
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 4 and ground
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 2 and ground
< 5
Step 6
Repair wiring harness
-> End
6 Check control signal from instrument cluster to rear relay carrier
  • Switch on ignition
  • Actuate Retract spoiler  button and at the same time measure voltage between relay socket pin 7 and ground
Spoiler button actuated
Battery voltage
Step 7
Step 10
7 Replace relay no. 9

  • Replace relay no. 9 on rear relay carrier
  • Switch on ignition
  • Actuate Retract spoiler  button
Spoiler retracting
-> End
Step 8
8 Check ground lead relay no. 3
  • Pull off relay no. 3 on rear relay carrier
  • Measure resistance between relay socket no.3, pin 4 and ground
< 5
Step 9
Repair wiring harness
-> End
9 Check relay no. 3
  • Jumper pin 4 and pin 3 on relay no. 3

Step 16
Step 12
10 Check wire between instrument cluster and relay no. 9 for short to ground
  • Switch off ignition
  • Pull off plug A on instrument cluster
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 7 and ground
Step 11 Repair wiring harness
-> End
11 Check wire between instrument cluster and relay no. 9 for open circuit
  • Measure resistance between relay socket pin 7 and plug A on instrument cluster pin 23
< 5
Step 19
Repair wiring harness
-> End
12 Check power supply of the spoiler drive
  • Switch off ignition
  • Disconnect plug from the spoiler drive
  • Insert both relays
  • Switch on ignition
  • Actuate Retract spoiler  button and at the same time measure voltage between spoiler drive plug pin 2 and ground
  • Actuate Extend spoiler  button and at the same time measure the voltage between plug on spoiler drive between pin 1 and pin 2
Battery voltage
Step 16
Check wiring between spoiler drive and relay no. 3 and relay no. 9
13 Check microswitches
  • Disconnect plug connection X 23
  • Remove microswitches
  • Actuate top microswitch manually and at the same time measure resistance on microswitch plug (pin side) between pin 2 and pin 5
  • Actuate bottom microswitch manually and at the same time measure resistance on microswitch plug (pin side) between pin 4 and pin 5
< 5
Step 14
Step 15
14 Check ground lead between ground point 8 and microswitch for open circuit
  • Measure resistance between plug connection X 23 pin 5 (sleeve side) and ground
< 5
Step 18
Repair wiring harness
-> End
15
  • Replace microswitch and repeat the function check; if not OK, check wiring to instrument cluster
-> End
16
