97722300 Installing optical waveguide


WM 977223 Installing optical waveguide

Preliminary work

Information

Release the main wire harness only until the damaged optical waveguide has been released and the new optical waveguide can be attached to the main wire harness.

Installing optical waveguide

Installing optical contacts on connector side

Remove the dust boot right before plugging.

Check the proper condition of the contacts.
1. Insert the optical contact -A and B- in the connector until it engages audibly.

2. Lock the secondary locking and check the optical contacts for tightness.

Installing optical contacts on socket side

Remove the dust boot right before plugging.

Check the proper condition of the contact.

At a force of 10 N (7.5 lb.) the springs installed in the connection point will be compressed. This leads to an increase in attenuation, which could lead to system impairment and system failure. Therefore a maximum force of 10 N (7.5 lb.) may be used to pull on optical waveguides at connection points.
1. Insert optical contact -B- into the optical waveguide module until it is felt to engage, and check the optical contact is seated securely.

2. Insert optical waveguide module into the connection point on the socket side.
3. Slide the spring cap on the connection point until it can be felt to engage -arrow-.

Installing optical waveguide

Information

Observe the general information on optical waveguides. => General information on optical waveguides - MOST bus

1. Cut off the optical contacts of the damaged optical waveguide, isolate it and tie it to the main wire harness.

Information

The range of spare parts available for optical waveguides depends on the vehicle equipment. Depending on the vehicle equipment, there is a specific set containing the individual optical waveguides.

Select the required optical waveguide and remove it from the set.

2. Route the new optical waveguide along the main wire harness, guide it through the existing cable ducts and tie it to the main wire harness using tie-wraps.





Tying optical waveguide to main wire harness

3. Connect the connectors for the new optical waveguide to the affected parts until the connectors are felt to engage. The illustration shows the connector on the CD changer as an example.

4. Read out fault memory and erase if required.
5. Check operation of audio components.
