ESP Electrical check
ESP Electrical check
  • ◆ For vehicles for which the self - diagnosis does not give any indication of the source of the fault the complete electrical check must be worked through.
  • ◆ In vehicles in which the self- diagnosis provides a direct indication of the source of the fault only perform the test steps recommended in the fault table (specific testing).

Test requirements

  • ● An "Automatic test sequence" must first be performed to establish that any faults present in the gearbox and engine control units can only originate from the ABS.
    • ‒ Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 and select address word 00 with ignition switched on.
 
V45-0075
    • ‒ After completing the "Electrical check", interrogate and erase the fault memories of the gearbox and engine control units.
  • ● → Ensure multiple connector between wiring harness and control unit -J104 is in perfect condition, i.e. not bent, broken or corroded contacts. Replace any damaged contacts using wiring harness repair kit VAS 1978.

Note:

The instructions supplied with wiring harness repair kit VAS 1978 normally do not permit repairs to the wiring of the ABS and its associated systems. However, this only applies to the screened wiring in the systems.

  • ● Switch ignition and electrical consumers off before commencing the check (headlights, lighting, fan, etc.).
  • ● For test steps 13 to 16 the vehicle must be raised so that the wheels can turn freely. On vehicles with manual gearbox put the gear lever in neutral. On vehicles with automatic gearbox move the selector lever to position "N".

The following equipment is required:

  • ◆ Fault reader V.A.G 1551 or vehicle systems tester V.A.G 1552
  • ◆ Test box V.A.G 1598/20
  • ◆ Adapter cable set V.A.G 1594
  • ◆ Hand-held multimeter V.A.G 1526
  • ◆ Pressure gauge V.A.G 1310 A

Connecting test box V.A.G 1598/20 and checking ESP system.

  • ‒ Switch ignition off.
  • ‒ Remove control unit-J104

=> Brake System; Repair group 45

  • ‒ Unplug multi-pin connector from control unit -J104.
  • ‒ Check multi-pin connector between wiring harness and control unit -J104.

→ Socket designations of test box V.A.G 1598/20 are identical with contact designations on control unit -J104 as well as those on wiring harness connector.

=> Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault-finding and Fitting Locations binder

  • ‒ Connect test box V.A.G 1598/20 to multi-pin connector on wiring harness.

Notes on fault table

  • ◆ The socket descriptions of test box V.A.G 1598 are identical to the contact descriptions of control unit -J104 in the current flow diagram. Incorrect test procedures can cause system damage. Do not make connections between any contacts other than those listed in the test table.

=> Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault-finding and Fitting Locations binder

  • ◆ The specified values refer to the readings obtained on tester V.A.G 1526 and are not necessarily applicable to other test units.
  • ◆ If the readings obtained do not match the specified values, carry out the fault remedy measures in the right-hand part of the table.

=> Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault-finding and Fitting Locations binder

  • ◆ If the specified values are achieved, also check wiring for loose contacts and short circuit to positive and earth. This applies especially to sporadic faults.
  • ◆ Use test leads V.A.G 1594 for checking continuity (bridging leads).
  • ◆ If the measured figures only differ slightly from the specified values, clean the sockets and plugs of the testers and test leads (with contact spray G 000 700 04) and repeat the check. Before replacing components, check wiring and connections again. This is particularly important if the specification calls for a resistance reading of less than 10 ω.
