3 Prepare vehicle for the measurement Observe the following notes:
Battery (G1) must be fully charged (min.
12.4 V).
Transmitter key must be set to position "1"
(circuit 15R).
No charger should be connected to
vehicle.
All electrical consumers (e.g. radio,
ventilation blower, etc.) must be switched off.
Rotary light switch must be set to position
"0".
All doors, glove compartment and engine
hood must be closed (driver door window
must be open).
Trunk lid must remain open to allow
measurements to be performed on battery
(G1).
4 Connect STAR DIAGNOSIS, perform quick The test sheet must be filled out in all
test and document any faults in battery dealers with obligation to ship back the old
control unit (N82), instrument cluster and part (test market) and be sent back to QEC
rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay with the old part.

After the measured current values have
settled, a tolerance of 1 A (absolute)
between the multimeter (2) and the DAS
measured values must not be exceeded. If
this tolerance is exceeded, the battery
control unit (N82) is defective and must be
replaced with a new unit.

unit (N82) corresponds to room temperature.
Read off the ambient temperature on the
instrument cluster.
The temperature value displayed in the DAS
should not exceed a tolerance of 10 °C
relative to the ambient temperature. If
temperatures above 80 °C are displayed, the
battery control unit (N82) is not functioning
correctly and must be replaced with a new
unit.
