Wiring and Components, Checking with Test Box

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Adapter Cable, 121-Pin (V.A.G 1598/31) (test box)

The (V.A.G 1598/31) (test box) is designed so that it can be connected to ECM wiring harness and ECM itself at the same time.

This is advantageous because electronic engine control remains fully functional (for example measurement of signals with engine running) when the test box is attached.

Respective test procedures note whether Engine Control Module (ECM) must also be connected to the test box.

To connect measuring instruments (for example voltage tester (V.A.G 1527B), multimeter (V.A.G 1526C) etc.) always use connector test set (V.A.G 1594C).

Procedure

- Remove Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module ] Engine Control Module.

- Connect (V.A.G 1598/31) (test box) to multi-pin harness connectors of wiring harness.





- Clamp test box Ground (GND) clip to Ground (GND).

- The procedures will indicate whether the engine control module is to be connected to the test box.

- Perform test as described in the respective repair procedures.

- Install Engine Control Module (ECM) after completing test. Refer to => [ Engine Control Module ] Engine Control Module.
