Signal Too Low

Signal too low

Checking the component and wiring




- Ignition off
- Light switch in position 0
- Disconnect connector A to the left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL).
Check the connectors for contact resistance and oxidation. Check for damage carefully.
Check the signal cable between the central electronic module (CEM) and the left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #E29 (#29) and left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) terminal #A6.
Check that the left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) is connected to ground.
Take readings between:
- Left-hand gas discharge lamp module (GDL) terminal #A10 and ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - Checking the voltage

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

Checking the voltage




- Ignition off
- Connect the breakout box adapter for the central electronic module (CEM)
- Ignition on
- Light switch in position 2.
Check the supply voltage to the gas discharge lamp module (GDL).
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #E29 (#29) and ground.

Hint: This output powers both the left-hand and the right-hand gas discharge lamp modules (GDL).

The supply voltage to the gas discharge lamp module (GDL) must be approximately 12 V and must not be less than 8 V.
Remedy as necessary.
