Display zonesExplanations
1… rpm → Note → NoteEngine speed (from the TD signal -pin 19- directly from the engine control unit). A second mechanic is required to read the values whilst driving → Chapter „Safety precautions“
l  Minimum value = 90 rpm
If the ignition is switched on (engine off) a value of 90 rpm is displayed. This is not a fault
If no value is displayed:
–  Interrogate engine control unit fault memory
2… rpm → Note → NoteGearbox speed (from gearbox speed sender -G38-). A second mechanic is required to read the values whilst driving → Chapter „Safety precautions“
l  Minimum value = 60 rpm
If the ignition is switched on (engine off) or vehicle is stationary with engine running, a value of 60 rpm is displayed. This is not a fault
If no value is displayed:
–  Check sender, to do this perform electrical test → Chapter
3… %Accelerator pedal position (CAN bus signal from engine control unit)
l  Specified value if accelerator pedal is not pressed: Less than 4%
l  Specified value if accelerator pedal is fully pressed: greater than 96%
When accelerating from idling to full throttle the % value is continually increased
If the values are not reached:
–  Interrogate engine control unit fault memory if necessary
If the value remains at 0 % when accelerating, but after releasing the accelerator pedal and pressing again it increases in steps (e.g. 30, 60, 90 …), this points to a faulty brake light switch -F-:
–  Check brake light switch -F- in measured value block 004, display zone 2 → Anchor
4 Gear engaged in gearbox whilst driving. A second mechanic is required to read the values → Chapter „Safety precautions“
1st GEAR … 5th GEAR
l  1st GEAR … 5th GEAR = display changes with a change in gear
R-GEAR
l  R-GEAR = reverse gear is engaged
LG 1-2
l  LG 1-2 = idling gate 1-2 gear (in gearbox)
LG 3-4
l  LG 3-4 = idling gate 3-4 gear (in gearbox)
SYNC
l  SYNC = during synchronisation phase
FAULT
l  FAULT = invalid position
If readings do not match specifications or with the display “FAULT”:
–  Check potentiometer 1 for gear recognition -G239-, potentiometer 2 for gear recognition -G240- and potentiometer for selector lever, forwards/backwards -G272- in measured value block 015 → Anchor and 016 → Anchor

1)  Check non-positive connection of clutch: To check, the vehicle must not be in ECO mode while driving. This is the only way to ensure that the clutch is engaged at the end of a gear shift. Engine and gearbox speed must not then differ by more than 120 rpm from one other while driving. If the difference is greater than this, the clutch is slipping and will have to be replaced.
2)  The vehicle is always in ECO mode after the engine is started (green warning lamp in dash panel insert lights up). If ECO mode has to be switched off for a test, press the switch for Start/Stop mode -E262- in the centre console, the green warning lamp in the dash panel insert goes out.
