8

Check opening pressure of
overflow valve (2)

 Check pressure at test connection (H2) and compare with specified value.
If release pressure differs from specified value:

*BE42.20-N-1012-01C

Adjust overflow valve (2).

If the specified value is not reached, replace overflow valve (2).

10

Check cut-in/cut-out pressure of parking brake pressure switch B5 (E5)

 Pressurize spring-loaded parking
brake system. Check pressure at test connection H3 when parking lamp "P" is extinguished and compare with specified value. If the switching point of the parking brake pressure switch B5 (E5) deviates from the specified value: 

*BE42.20-N-1009-01C

Replace parking brake pressure
switch B5 (E5).

 Test kit

11

Check cut-in and cutout points of electric compressor (A)

 Check cutoff pressure of pressure governor to determine cut-in and cutout point of electric compressor (A).

AR42.20-L-0002A

12

Bridge pin 5 and pin 1 at relay K18

 Use a fuse for the bridge as defects at other electrical components may occur due to a short circuit.

 The compressor operates continuously once the ignition is turned on.

13

Check opening pressure of safety valve (D2) at test connection (H1)

 The compressor must be in continuous operation during the test, although it may turn off internally depending on the temperature. If the opening pressure of the safety valve (D2) deviates from the specified value: 

*BE42.20-N-1013-01C

Replace safety valve (D2).

 Test kit

*360589002100

14

Check drain valve of air drier (B)

 Switch on ignition and wait until the compressor switches off.

*BE42.20-N-1011-01C

 Once the compressor switches off the drain valve opens (hisses audibly).

If the drain valve does not open: 

Check electrical connection on drain valve.

If the electrical connection on the drain valve is OK: 

Replace air drier (B).

15
