CHECKING THE DROP SENSOR

With the engine off:

• Remove the front cover, see (REMOVING THE

FRONT COVER).

Check that the sensor (1) is correctly fitted (with the

arrow printed on the rubber element facing upwards).

• Partially remove the fuse block (2).

• Disconnect the two-way connector (3) (white/

gray) and carry out the relevant measurements

(on the sensor-side terminals).

On reassembly, make sure that the electrical

connector (3) is correctly coupled.

• Use a tester (scale x 100 kΩ) to measure the

resistance between the terminals of the black and

black/white cables (N - Bi/N).

Standard value: resistance 62 k

ΩΩ

Ω ± 15%

• Remove the sensor (1) and rubber element from

its seat and incline it sideways by an angle

greater than 45° (simulating a situation where the

vehicle is lying on the ground).

Standard value: 0 - 1

ΩΩ

Ω

If the resistance differs from the prescribed value,

the sensor (1) must be replaced.

• Repeat the operation, this time inclining the

sensor from the opposite side.
