Fiber optic cables may not be heated.

It is not permitted to twist together 2 fiber optic cables or one fiber optic cable with a copper wire.

Protect the connector and the connection box from dust. Place the cap on the trunk.

Determine Position of the Error

Special tools and workshop equipment required

  • Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

Procedure

It is very difficult to find the exact location of the problem. Replace the damaged fiber-optic cable and lay a new wire parallel to the defective fiber-optic cable.

  Note

  • Via the "Guided Fault Finding" it can be determines which component of the fiber-optic cable is damaged.
  • A fiber-optic cable that needs repair is represented by a "yellow" color.

- Perform in the "Off-board Diagnostic Information System Service" the "Ring break diagnosis" function in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

- Remove the affected components.

- Disconnect the connector from the components.

- Assemble the fiber-optic cable:

  • Refer to → Chapter "Fiber-Optic Cable, Preparing with the Fiber-Optic Conductor Repair Set -VAS6223A-"
  • Refer to → Chapter "Fiber-Optic Cable, Preparing with the Fiber-Optic Conductor Repair Set -VAS6223A-"

Fiber-Optic Cable, Preparing with the Fiber-Optic Conductor Repair Set -VAS6223A-

Special tools and workshop equipment required

  • Fiber Optic Repair Set -VAS6223B-
  • Hose Cutting Pliers -VAS6228-

Checking Remaining Cut Indicator

- Start by checking remaining cut indicator:

  • The Fiber-Optic Repair Set - Pliers -VAS6223/1- cutting device can perform approximately 1260 cuts. The blade is rotated for each further cut.
  • The remaining cut indicator -arrow - displays the last 150 cuts available.
  • Once no further cuts are available, the blade is blocked. It must be replaced. Refer to the Operating Instructions that come with Fiber-Optic Repair Set - Pliers -VAS6223/1-.
