Test requirement:

  • ● Final control diagnosis has been performed

Testing internal resistance

  • ‒ Unbolt bracket for secondary air inlet valve from intake manifold.
  • ‒ Unplug connector from secondary air inlet valve -N112
 
A24-0077
  • ‒ → Connect multimeter to valve (resistance measurement range)
    • ‒ Specification: 25 ... 35 ω
  • ‒ If the reading does not match the specification, renew secondary air inlet valve -N112.

Checking voltage supply

  • ‒ Unplug connector from secondary air inlet valve -N112
 
N24-0231
  • ‒ → Connect voltage tester V.A.G 1527 B as follows:

Connector
Contact

Measure against

Engine earth

  • ‒ Operate the starter briefly. (The engine can be allowed to start.)
    • ‒ The LED should light up.

If the LED does not light up:

 
A97-0119
  • ‒ Carry out the following tests (marked with dots):
  • ● → Check fuse S243 (fuse position 43 in fuse holder).
 
N24-0231
  • ● → Test for open circuit in wiring from connector contact 1 to fuel pump relay via fuse S243 (fuse position 43 in fuse holder):

=> Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations

  • ● Test fuel pump relay .

Testing activation

 
N24-0231
  • ‒ → Connect voltage tester V.A.G 1527 B as follows:

Connector
Contact

Final control diagnosis    ⇒
Secondary air inlet valve -N112
    • ‒ The LED should flash.

If the LED lamp does not flash or lights up continuously:

  • ‒ Connect test box V.A.G 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control unit. Do not connect to the engine control unit itself.
    => Page 24-16.

  • ‒ Rectify any open/short circuit as necessary.

If the wiring is OK:

  • ‒ Fit a new engine control unit => Page 24-18.
