5.1 General information
This section describes troubleshooting on the DBW 2010/
2016/2016 Rail heaters.
IMPORTANT
Troubleshooting work demands precise knowledge of the
structure and theory of operation of the various components
and must be carried out by trained personnel only.
If in doubt, refer to sections 2 or 3 for a description of how
the functions interact.
IMPORTANT
Error detection is generally limited to the localisation of the
defective components.
The following potential sources of malfunctions are not taken
into account and should always be checked so that they can
then be excluded as the cause of the particular fault:
Corrosion on connector
Loose contact on connector
Poor crimp contacts on plugs
Corrosion on lines and fuses
Corrosion on battery terminals
Conduct a function test in the vehicle after rectifying each
fault.
