Electrical Equipment

DROP SENSOR CHECK

With motor off:
• Remove the front hood, see (REMOVING THE
FRONT HOOD).
Check that the sensor (1) is mounted correctly (with
the arrow imprinted on the rubber pointing upwards).
• Partially remove the fuse carriers (2).
• Disconnect the two-way connector (3)(white/grey)
and take measurements (on terminals sensor
side).
CAUTION
During reassembly ensure correct coupling of the
electrical connector (3).
• With a multimeter (scale x 100 kΩ), measure the
resistance between the black and white/black
cable terminals (N -Bi/N).
Standard value: resistance 62 kΩ Ω Ω Ω Ω ± 15%
• Remove the sensor (1) with the rubber washer in
its housing, and lean it sideways to an angle of
more than 45° (simulating the parking position).
Standard value: 0 - 1 Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω
If the resistance is different from that prescribed,
the sensor (1) must be replaced.
• Repeat the operations leaning the sensor towards
the opposite side.
