Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking signal from tilt sensor
- Ignition on.
- Go into rolling values.




- Read off tilt sensor status.
The value should be NODETEC.

Is the value NODETEC?

Yes - Intermittent fault

No - Checking cables

-------------------------------------------------

Checking cables




- Ignition off.
- Expose tilt sensor for the 4-door according to Replacing the tilt sensor (2/4-door) Service and Repair.
Check cable between control module #A17 and tilt sensor #3 for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Remedy as necessary.









Were any faults found in the cable?

Yes - Verification

No - Replacing component

-------------------------------------------------

Replacing component
Try a new tilt sensor according to Replacing the tilt sensor (2/4-door) Service and Repair.

Continue - Verification

-------------------------------------------------

Verification

Hint: After repairs have been completed they must be verified as follows to ensure that the fault has been eliminated:

- Reinstall connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
- Go into rolling values.
- Read off tilt sensor status.
The value should be NODETEC.





Is the value NODETEC?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Fault-tracing information

-------------------------------------------------

Fault-tracing information
Verification indicates that the fault persists.

Do you want to repeat fault-tracing?

Yes - Checking signal from tilt sensor

No - No Fault Found

-------------------------------------------------

Intermittent fault
Check cable between control module #A17 and tilt sensor #3 for an intermittent short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.










Continue - Fault-tracing information

-------------------------------------------------

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.

Do you want to repeat fault-tracing?

Yes - Checking signal from tilt sensor

No - No Fault Found
