Designation Type Number Explanation

PIWIS Tester special tool P 9718
TEST OVERVIEW
Test overview
NOTE:  PSM is installed as standard.

 PSM comprises the functions ABS (anti-lock braking system), ABD
(automatic brake differential), ASR (anti-slip regulation), EDTC (engine
drag torque control), EBD (electronic brake-force distribution) and vehicle
dynamic control.
The ABS/PSM test includes:
 Reading out fault memory.

 Static test.
 Swap testing hydraulics in the Checks/Tests menu. The swap test is menu-driven. Once you start the test,
follow the instructions on the PIWIS Tester.
 Checking function and correct allocation of speed sensor in the Actual values menu. Turn all four wheels
individually during the test. The speed assigned to the wheel in question must be displayed when you turn
the wheel. The non-tested wheel must be held (by a second person) when the test is performed on the
driven axle.

Procedure: If work has been done on the hydraulic unit -D- , the speed sensors and the wire harness or if the
hydraulic unit -D- is replaced, an ABS/PSM test (system check) must be performed using the PIWIS Tester!
This is the case, for example, after accident repairs! This prevents any confusion of electrical or hydraulic lines
and ensures faultless operation of the system! See Fig. 1.
If certain brake lines are replaced, e. g. at the intermediate piece in the front left wheel housing -E- , a swap test
must also be performed (in the Checks/Tests menu)! Unintentional bending of the brake lines could lead to
incorrect hydraulic allocation despite the markings (FL = front left, FR = front right, RL = rear left, RR = rear
right)! See Fig. 1.
If a fault is displayed during operation (when no assembly work was carried out beforehand), diagnosis and
fault finding are also carried out using the PIWIS Tester! To do this, select the PSM system and read out the
fault memory there! The fault can then be located using the appropriate menus (Drive links, Actual values,
Checks/Tests)!

Microsoft
NOTE: First bleed the brake system in the normal way - with the bleeding device at the
reservoir and approx. 2.0 bar pressure (primary circuit).
Then, use the PIWIS Tester to bleed the brakes as well (secondary circuit). Only
necessary if the hydraulic unit was replaced and if brake pedal travel is
excessive after bleeding in the normal way (primary circuit). The process is
menu-driven. Always observe the specified sequence rear left, front left, front
right, rear right.
To bleed the secondary circuit, the bleeding device remains connected to the
brake fluid reservoir. Bleeding pressure is approx. 2.0 bar.
Throughout the entire bleeding process, the brake pedal must be operated
cyclically (keep depressed for 2 to 3 seconds, then release slowly). After
operating the pedal for the last time, hold the brake pedal down and close the
bleeder valve.
2. Bleed the brake system and adjust the brake-fluid level. Refer to 47 01 07 Bleeding the brake system - as of
MY 2005 (All Models) .

4. Carry out the following tests:
 Check the system for leaks.

 Read out and erase the fault memory of the ABS/PSM control unit using the PIWIS Tester. Carry out a
static test as well.
 Check electric and hydraulic lines for incorrect assignment using the PIWIS Tester. This test checks that
the brake lines/solenoid valves are assigned to the corresponding brake callipers.
 Then start the engine. The ABS/PSM-related lights in the instrument cluster must go out when the engine
is running.
 Carry out a function check on the brakes. Then take a short test drive and perform at least one ABS
control operation, taking the road conditions into consideration. Read out the ABS/PSM fault memory
again. There must not be any stored faults.

45 60 INITIALIZING AND CALIBRATING STEERING-ANGLE SENSOR - AS

OF MY 2005 (ALL MODELS)
GENERAL WARNING NOTES
CAUTION: Increased risk of accident whenever power supply is interrupted. PSM

does not function.
--> The steering-angle sensor must be initialized (taught) whenever the battery is disconnected.
NOTE:  The steering-angle sensor is integrated into the steering column switch
and records the movements of the steering wheel (steering wheel angle)
using light switches. The data is transmitted to the PSM control unit via
the CAN bus.
 During initialization, the steering-angle sensor learns its current position
(straight-ahead position).
Microsoft
 The steering-angle sensor must always be initialized if terminal 30 was

interrupted (for example, battery replacement, undervoltage, steering
column switch disconnected, relevant fuse removed)!
 Calibration must be performed when working on or carrying out
subsequent work on the chassis. This is described in detail in the next
chapter --> 456000 Initializing and calibrating steering-angle sensor -
section on "Calibrating".
 The calibration results in zero point balancing (exactly straight ahead).
 The steering angle sensor is calibrated when first fitted and when any
work has been carried out on steering and chassis. Examples of this
would be opening the steering wiring and alterations to toe and camber.
 Calibration includes initialization.
CHECKING STEERING-ANGLE SENSOR
Initialize steering-angle sensor
1. Turn wheels to straight-ahead position.
2. Start engine.
3. From the straight-ahead position, turn steering wheel approx. 20° to the left and 20° to the right (past straight-
ahead position).
4. Drive the vehicle straight ahead for at least three seconds at a speed above 6 km/h (3.7 mph).
After successful initialization, the stored fault code is erased from the fault memory. The PSM indicator light in
the instrument cluster goes out.
After initialization has been completed, the battery must not be disconnected, the relevant fuse must not be
removed and there must not be undervoltage. Otherwise, initialization will have to be carried out again.
ADJUSTING STEERING-ANGLE SENSOR
Calibrating steering-angle sensor
NOTE:  The steering-angle sensor must be recalibrated on the measuring platform

following repairs to or work on the chassis/steering or if the steering-angle
sensor/steering column switch/hydraulic unit is replaced.
 In order to be able to calibrate the steering angle sensor correctly, the
vehicle must be on the measuring platform, the wheel alignment values
correct and the steering in the straight-ahead position.
 The security code is displayed in the PIWIS tester under Menu >> PSM >>
Actual values.
Microsoft
The steering angle sensor must be calibrated using the menu with PIWIS tester under the specified test
conditions:
1. Switch on ignition.
2. Turn wheels or steering wheel to straight-ahead position. In the straight-ahead position, the steering wheel
must deviate by no more than ± 2.0° from the horizontal position (steering center position).
3. Before calibrating, first turn the steering wheel from the straight-ahead position approx. 20° to the left and
20° to the right (past straight-ahead position).
4. Turn wheels or steering wheel to straight-ahead position and calibrate the steering-angle sensor. To calibrate,
you must enter the security code in the actual values menu.
