Fault Code 5





FAULT CODE 5
5V Supply For Axle Position Sensors (Angle Sensors For HBA)

This fault is stored in the following cases:
1. Short circuit to voltage/ground in the supply leads between the control module and angle sensor for HBA
2. Angle sensor for HBA is faulty
3. The control module is faulty

Note:
The 5V supply voltage for the sensors is ensured via terminal 14 on the HBA control module. A fault in this supply lead affects both angle sensors.

Fault Effect: No automatic adjustment possible
Headlights in safety position

Elimination:

- Switch off ignition

- Pull plug off the angle sensor for HBA, front

- Switch ignition on

- Read the fault memory and observe whether fault code 5 reappears.

If fault code 5 does not reappear, the supply lead to the angle sensor for HBA, front, is faulty. Proceed as follows in this case:

- measure voltage between terminal 5 of the sensor plug and ground

Voltmeter display: approx. 5 Volts

- measure voltage between terminal 5 and terminal 1 of the sensor plug

Voltmeter display: approx. 5 Volts

- In the PST 2 menu item Actual values, select Sensor voltage, spring travel 1

- Connect a jumper to terminals 4 and 5 of the sensor plug

PST 2 display: approx. 5 Volts

- If no fault Is detected in the wires or control module, replace the angle sensor for HBA, front.

If fault code 5 reappears after the plug has been removed from the angle sensor for HBA, front, there is a fault in the supply lead to the angle sensor for HBA, rear. Proceed as follows in this case:

- Pull plug off the angle sensor for HBA, rear

- measure voltage between terminal 5 of the sensor plug and ground

Voltmeter display: approx. 5 Volts

- measure voltage between terminal 5 and terminal 1 of the sensor plug

Voltmeter display: approx. 5 Volts

- In the PST 2 menu item Actual values, select Sensor voltage, spring travel 2

- Connect a jumper to terminals 4 arid 5 of the sensor plug

PST 2 display: approx. 5 Volts

- If no fault is detected in the wires or control module, replace the angle sensor for HBA, rear.
