The entire handle heating system is
maintenance-free and not subject to
electrical wear. Faults in the
generator, heating elements and
wiring are generally caused by
mechanical damage.
Failures in the heating system may
be due to two reasons:
1. A break in the circuit due to
a faulty wire or component.
2. A short circuit resulting from
damage to the insulation.
Remove handle moulding,
b 12.2.

All electrical components of the
handle heating system are
connected in series with the
ohmmeter.
If the system is OK, the ohmmeter
will show a reading of about 10 ohm
in the measuring range "Ω".
If the pointer does not move, there
is a break in the circuit.
If the ohmmeter shows a very low
value, there is a short circuit in one
of the components.
In both cases, each component
must be checked individually,
ensuring that the generator
connection remains separate from
the heating element connection.
Test according to the
troubleshooting chart, handle
heating and generator,
b 15.7.1.
Measure resistance in front
handle, b 15.6.
Measure resistance in rear
handle, b 15.5.
After testing, reconnect the leads
and slide the protective tube back
over the plug connection.
Install handle moulding, b 12.2.
