MRS4 - Physical Details

SM049 - MRS4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Read Fault Codes)

Reads the fault code memory. The ECU can self detect up to 61 different problems with itself, its wiring and its associated sensors, storing the respective code if it detects any malfunction or reading outside of pre defined acceptable limits. Not all stored faults may cause the fault warning lamp to illuminate.

SM049 - MRS4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Clear Fault Codes)

Clears the fault code memory.

SM049 - MRS4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Settings)

Values, configuration settings, and other stored information which can be read from the ECU, edited and then rewritten back. Read settings can also be stored as a standard HTML page for reference. These pages can then later be re loaded and re written back to the ECU. Please note that some values may be read only due to the fact that they are supplied from the ECU’s ROM or are internally calculated. Part Number: This is the manufacturer's part number for the ECU.

Rear Left Head/ITS Airbag: This denotes if the rear left head airbag (Inflatable Tubular Structure) is enabled or not. Rear Right Head/ITS Airbag: This denotes if the rear right head airbag (Inflatable Tubular Structure) is enabled or not. Rear Left Seat Belt Pretensioner: This denotes if the rear left seat belt pretensioner is enabled or disabled. When enabled, this will activate the pretensioners in case of a collision. Rear Left Seat Belt Fasten Switch: This denotes if the switch is enabled or disabled. When enabled, the switch will detect if the seat belt is fastened or not. If the seat belt is not fasten, the rear passenger will hit the front seat during a collision. the front seat backrest will lock if the feature is fitted, to stop the movement (folding) of the front seat. Rear Right Seat Belt Pretensioner: This denotes if the rear right seat belt pretensioner is enabled or disabled. When enabled, this will activate the pretensioners in case of a collision. Rear Right Seat Belt Fasten Switch: This denotes if the switch is enabled or disabled. When enabled, the switch will detect if the seat belt is fastened or not. If the seat belt is not fastened, the rear passenger will hit the front seat during a collision. The front seat backrest will lock if the feature is fitted, to stop the movement (folding) of the front seat. Rear Centre Seat Belt Pretensioner: This denotes if the rear centre seat belt pretensioner is enabled or disabled. When enabled, this will activate the pretensioners in case of a collision. Rear Centre Seat Belt Fasten Switch: This denotes if the switch is enabled or disabled. When enabled, the switch will detect if the seat belt is fastened or not. If the seat belt is not fastened, the rear passenger will hit the front seat during a collision.

SM049 - MRS4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Inputs)

Realtime live display of the information the electronic control unit of the selected vehicle system is currently deriving from its input sensors. Passenger seat: Detects if the passenger's seat is occupied or not. The status from occupied to unoccupied changes 3 minutes after the seat was vacated, or by recycling the ignition after the passenger left the seat. Passenger fault: This indicates if the seat switch is faulty. When faulty, will not determine if the seat is occupied or not.
