- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
- Read off the engine coolant temperature.

Note! It is important that only the ignition is on in order for the heater to start.

- Activate the heater.

Hint: After repair, the voltage of the flame sensor can be checked. The voltage must be a maximum of 1.0 V.

Check the heater function.

Caution! In order for to enable start of the heater itself, the battery voltage must be normal, coolant temperature must be lower than +96 °C and the heater's after-run/stop sequence must be finished. There must also be enough fuel in the tank.
