Troubleshooting Procedure
The iPOD mount is not equipped with on board diagnostics (OBD).
If signal transmission to radio/radio-navigation system is not functioning, then the voltage supply at harness connector can be checked.
Test Prerequisites
• First make certain that the iPOD itself is not the source of the problem, refer to=> owner's manual.
• First, perform a "RESET" on the iPOD. Refer to => owner's manual.
• Make sure fuse is OK.
• Check radio/radio-navigation system is free of malfunctions via OBD.
Procedure
- Remove iPOD mount. Refer to => [ iPod Mount ] Communication.
- Disconnect mount connector under storage compartment.
- Using Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051) or Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052), measure the following voltages at harness connector on wiring harness side.
• at 12-pin harness connector T12, at voltage supply terminal 6, positive, with radio unit switched on.
• at 12-pin harness connector T12, at voltage supply terminal 8, positive, control wire, with radio unit switched on.
• at 12-pin harness connector T12, at terminal 3 voltage supply terminal 31, negative
If the voltage values specified cannot be measured, repair wire connections according to wiring diagram.
If a fault cannot be found, replace iPOD mount.
USB Sticks and mp3 Player, USB Connector
The USB connection is not capable of on board diagnostics (OBD).
USB Connection
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Diagnostic Operation System (VAS 5051) or Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052)
• Diagnostic adapter cable (VAS 5051/5a) or (VAS 5051/6a) or (VAS 5052/3)
• Select "Test Instruments" in Diagnostic Operation System (VAS 5051) or Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052).
Troubleshooting Procedure
The USB connection is not capable of on board diagnostics (OBD).
If signal transmission to radio/radio-navigation system is not functioning, then the voltage supply at harness connector can be checked.
Test Prerequisites
• Beforehand, make sure that USB stick or mp3 player is not the malfunction source. Refer to=> Owner's Manual.
• Check that the fuse is OK.
• Check radio/radio-navigation system is free of malfunctions via on board diagnostic (OBD).
Procedure
- Remove storage compartment with USB connection installed. Refer to => [ Storage Compartment with USB Connector ] Communication.
- Disconnect electrical connection on bottom of storage compartment.
- Using Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051) or Vehicle Diagnosis and Service System (VAS 5052), measure the following voltages at harness connector on wiring harness side.
• at 12-pin harness connector T12, at voltage supply terminal 6, positive, with radio unit switched on.
• at 12-pin harness connector T12, at voltage supply terminal 8, positive, control wire, with radio unit switched on.
• at 12-pin harness connector T12, at terminal 3 voltage supply terminal 31, negative
If the voltage values specified cannot be measured, then repair wire connections according to wiring diagram.
If no faults can be detected, replace storage compartment with USB connection.
