Important Information
Read out the defect code memories before disconnecting the battery and on completion of
assembly.
It is possible that the connections and/or pin assignments change during the course of further
development. For this reason, the currently valid ETM (Electrical Troubleshooting Manual) must
always be used for installation purposes.
Jumpers, double crimp connections or parallel connections will be required if the specified pin
chambers are occupied.
Take care not to kink, bend or damage cables when installing in the vehicle as otherwise faults
may occur that require extensive additional work to subsequently locate them. The costs incurred
will not be reimbursed!
All wiring harnesses and lines are to be fitted and secured such that they are not bent, cannot
sag, chafe or be pinched.
Tie back excessive length of wiring harnesses and lines and use cable straps to secure at suitable
positions.
Ensure the wiring cannot snag.
Item numbers refer only to the overviews or to the texts next to the corresponding figure.
Subject to technical modifications.
