Checking Function Of The Mode Selector






Checking the function of the mode selector

Checking the function of the Winter mode selector




- Ignition on
- Go into scrolling values.
- Read off the status of the Winter (W) mode selector.
The value should be OFF with the button up and ON with the button down. If the value is correct the function is OK.





Are the correct values displayed?

Yes - No Fault Found

No - ???

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

Checking components and wiring
Check the control module and mode selector connectors for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault
Check that the Winter (W) mode selector button does not stick and is not damaged in any way. Shake the mode selector and check there are no loose components in the switch.
Check the resistance between mode selector terminals 2 and 4 when button is pressed down. The resistance must be approximately 0 ohm.
Check the cable between mode selector terminal 4 and control module terminal 33 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check the cable between mode selector terminal 2 and the ground terminal for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Remedy as necessary.

Other information
- To access or replace the mode selector, see Replacing the S and W mode selectors, AW50-42 Replacing S And W Mode Selectors.
- The voltage on the signal cable varies between 0-2 V below battery voltage or approximately 0 V depending on the mode selector's position. Approximately 0 V in the Winter (W) position. For other values,









Select "Continue" when the fault has been remedied.

Continue - Verification

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












- Ignition off.
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
- Go into scrolling values.
- Read off the status of the Winter (W) mode selector.
The value should be OFF with the button up and ON with the button down.
