COMPLAINT

The vehicle cannot be started or the message "Service Required - Do not perform further ignition cycle" appears in the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in operation.

CAUSE

The cause may be an internal fault at the power electronics control unit (N129/1) with different possible fault codes (see specification of control unit/FC), or an undervoltage situation in the 12V on-board electrical system resulting in the fault code entry.

REMEDY

  1. Generate control unit logs of all control units in the high-voltage on-board electrical system with logged faults
  2. Generate control unit freeze frame data of all control units in the high-voltage on-board electrical system with logged faults
  3. Erase fault memory and, if possible, reproduce the problem (to do this, ask the customer about the ambient conditions if necessary)
  4. Perform quick test for undervoltage faults (e.g. in control units of the body)

    If undervoltage was detected in other control units: Check 12V on-board electrical system for no-load current consumers, 12V voltage dips under load and 12V supply (via DC/DC converter)

    => Create a PTSS case with the title "Power electronics" and always include the information/attachments from the above steps 1-4 as editable pdf files (not scanned)

    Further measures will be specified by the responsible market support in coordination with GSP.

    IMPORTANT: If other components (e.g. the high-voltage battery) are faulty due to the failure of the power electronics, these must be encoded with the damage code (DC) of the power electronics (the part causing the fault).
