Test sequence







- Disconnect 3-pin connector -1- from Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor 2 -G163- -2-.
- Connect multimeter to measure voltage using auxiliary cables from V.A.G 1594 C to outer contacts of connector.
- Switch ignition on.
Specification: min. 4.5 V

- Switch ignition off.







- Connect V.A.G 1598/31 test box to control module wiring harness. Engine control module remains disconnected.







- Check wiring for open circuit between test box and connector using
- Wiring diagram.

Contact 1 + socket 98
Contact 2 + socket 86
Contact 3 + socket 108

Wire resistance: Max. 1.5 Ohms

- Check wires for short to one another.

If no wiring malfunction is detected and voltage was present between contacts 1 + 3:
- Replace Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor 2 -G40-.
- Check DTC Memory, if necessary, repair any malfunctions and then Erase DTC Memory.
- Read readiness code. If DTC memory has been erased or engine control module was disconnected from permanent positive, readiness code must be generated again. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

If no wiring malfunction is detected and no voltage was present between contacts 1 + 3:
- Replace engine control module.
