Continuation

- Disconnect 4-pin harness connector (black) to Oxygen sensor -1- G108 (after Three Way Catalyst).






- Switch Multimeter to "Resistance" range

- Connect Multimeter between terminals 1 + 2 of Oxygen sensor connector using jumper wires from VW 1594 adaptor kit.






- Measure resistance.
- Specification: 0.0 to 19.9 Ohms

If specification obtained
- Set Multimeter to "Voltage measurement" range.
- Connect Multimeter using aux. cables from VW 1594 to measure Voltage at terminals 1 + 2 (connector to Engine Control Module).






- Start engine and let idle.
- Measure the Voltage supply:

When Display group 41, Display zone 4 shows
Display, Htg.aC.ON:
Specification: 11.0 to 14.5 Volts
Display, Htg. aC.ON/Htg.aC.OFF (alternating)
Specification: Between 0.0 and 12.0 Volts, fluctuating

- Switch OFF ignition.

If NO Voltage present:

- Connect VAG 1598/22 Test Box to Control Module harness connector.







- Check wiring for open circuit between Test Box and 4-pin harness connector using Wiring diagram.







Terminal 2 + socket 28

Wire resistance: Max. 1.5 Ohms

If specification obtained
- Check wiring between terminal 1 and fuel pump relay J17 using Wiring diagram.

If wiring OK

- Replace engine electronics Control Module.
- Display Readiness Code, Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes


NOTE: If DTC memory has been erased or the Engine Control Module was disconnected from its Voltage supply, the Readiness Code must be created again , Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
