Possible fault cause
- Engine temperature sensor faulty
- Short circuit to B+ in signal wire
- Open circuit in sensor ground
- Open circuit in signal wire
- DME control module faulty
NOTE:
This fault is stored if the engine temperature is detected at under - 40°C.
NOTE:
If connector A is disconnected from the DME control module and the ignition is or was switched on, the 'DME Control Module TIMEOUT' fault is recorded in many control modules.
NOTE:
If control module connector A was disconnected from the DME in the course of troubleshooting or if the voltage supply was interrupted elsewhere (battery, fuse), the throttle adjusting unit must be adapted!
