Diagnosis, Fault Memory - PassatVAG 1598 Test box, description
The VAG 1598 Test box and adaptor set was introduced in July of 1989. It consists of a main harness with test box (that universally connects to all of the adaptor harnesses) and a set of adaptor harnesses. A hardshell storage case is provided to protect the set when not in use.
The VAG 1598 is used in conjunction with several other pieces of test equipment consisting of:
- US 1119 (or equivalent) multimeter
- US 1115 (VAG 1527B) LED tester
- VW 1594 adaptor kit
Note: New adaptor harnesses will be made available for the VAG 1598 in the future as new applications require them.
VAG 1598 advantages:
- the fragile terminals in the control unit connector no longer risk damage from test leads and probe connections. Connections formerly made on the control unit connector are not made on the VAG 1598 Test box which has large conveniently accessible terminals
- raised, highly visible numbers on the Test box eliminate any uncertainty as to connector terminal numbering
- certain components (e.g. Hall sender) can now be checked dynamically (engine running)
- electronically checking miniature and unusual size terminals is now made possible regardless of terminal size
- standard sized adaptors are used to make and test all connections resulting in dependable, accurate measurements
