Checking disengagement cause (Continued)

Checking cable between selector switch and brake valve








- Ignition off.
- Brake valve disconnected.
- Disconnect selector switch.








- Connect an ohmmeter between selector switch connector terminal 1 and brake valve connector terminal 2.

The ohmmeter should read 0 ohms.

OK - Checking the brake valve

Not OK - Checking for an open-circuit

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

Checking for an open-circuit




- Ignition off.








- Check the cable between selector switch connector terminal 1 and brake valve terminal 2 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.





Continue - Verification

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

Checking the brake valve








- Ignition off.
- Brake valve disconnected.
- Connect selector switch.
- Selector switch in OFF position.








- Connect an ohmmeter between both brake valve connecting pins.

The ohmmeter should read approx. 0 ohms with the brake pedal up and infinite resistance with the pedal depressed more than 8 mm.

OK - Fault-tracing information

Not OK - Brake valve adjustment

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

Fault-tracing information
- The clutch valve is only fitted to cars with a manual transmission so the transmission type must be entered to continue testing.





Does the car have a manual transmission?

Yes - Checking power supply to clutch valve

No - No Fault Found

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

Brake valve adjustment








- Ignition off.
- Brake valve disconnected.
- Press pedal so that it is not in contact with the valve.
- Pull piston out as far as possible and release pedal slowly.








- Connect an ohmmeter between both brake valve connecting pins.

The ohmmeter should read approx. 0 ohms with the brake pedal up and infinite resistance with the pedal depressed more than 8 mm.

OK - Verification

Not OK - Replacing component

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

Replacing component




- Ignition off.
- Try a new brake valve according to Replacing brake and clutch valves Service and Repair.





Continue - Verification

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

Checking power supply to clutch valve








- Ignition off.
- Disconnect clutch valve.
- Ignition on.
- Selector switch in OFF position.








- Connect a voltmeter between clutch valve connector terminal 2 and ground.

The voltmeter should read approx. 0 V.

OK - Checking cable between brake valve and clutch valve

Not OK - Checking for a short-circuit

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

Checking for a short-circuit




- Ignition off.








- Check cable between brake valve connector terminal 1 and clutch valve connector terminal 2 for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.

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

Checking power supply to the control module












- Ignition off.
- Disconnect control module.
- Connect brake valve.
- Connect clutch valve (manual transmission).
- Ignition on.
- Pedals up.
Connect a voltmeter between control module connector terminal 9T and ground.
The voltmeter should read battery voltage with the selector switch in the ON position and 0 V with the selector switch in OFF position.
- 1. these values are OK.
- 2. Voltmeter reads a steady 0 V.
- 3. Voltmeter reads a steady battery voltage.









Select one of the alternatives above.

1 - Checking control module connector

2 - Checking cable between brake/clutch valve and control module

3 - Checking for a short-circuit
