Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

General Information

The Basic Motronic engine management system installed on this model does not incorporate an on-board diagnostic system. Therefore it is unable to either detect malfunctions or store diagnostic trouble codes.

The Motronic system was designed so that most electrical components can be tested using a low-current LED test light and a digital multimeter. Most of these tests can be performed right at the control unit harness connector using a special test harness adapter.
