Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specification is not obtained:

Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:

Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/delete diagnostic data
Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to → Readiness Code .

End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 , replacing .
Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Install the engine cover with air filter.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

Check the DTC memory. Refer to.
If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to.
If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to.

End of diagnosis
