Error Description:

• Microswitch (Radiator Grille Trim – Truck / Microswitch B1 – Bus): Short circuit to power.

Possible Causes:

1. Fault in the wiring harness or connectors leading to the microswitch.
2. Defective microswitch.
3. Internal fault in the ALM control unit (E7).

Symptoms:

• The microswitch is malfunctioning, leading to system errors.
• The alarm is triggered, and the siren sounds when the error code occurs.

Repair Steps:

1. Remove the Microswitch:
   • Disconnect the microswitch and observe if a new open circuit fault code appears.
   • If an open circuit code is generated, the microswitch is likely defective.
2. Measure Harness Component:
   • Test the pin of the nearest harness component connector that connects to control unit pin A18 for faults.
3. Disconnect the Control Unit:
   • Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the control unit.
4. Check for Short Circuits:
   • Test the wiring harness for shorts between the control unit and the microswitch.
5. Inspect Multiple Connectors:
   • If there are multiple connectors between the microswitch and the control unit, test each one to isolate the fault.
6. Control Unit Fault:
   • If the wiring harness and microswitch are functioning correctly, the issue may lie within the control unit itself (E7).

By following these steps, you can effectively diagnose and resolve the short circuit error in the Scania Truck ALM system.
