Checking automatic gearbox relay -J60- Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  Voltage tester -V.A.G 1527B-

Procedure –  Remove automatic gearbox control unit -J217- → Chapter and lay it aside with connector attached. –  Turn ignition key to “start” position. –  Move selector lever from “S” to “P” and back to “S”. l  Automatic gearbox relay -J60- (in relay carrier in electronics box in plenum chamber, position 4) should pick up audibly (can also be felt with a finger). l  If there is no fault, the starter can be operated in selector lever position “N” or “P”. –  If relay does not pick up, check voltage supply → Anchor. –  If relay picks up but starter does not turn, check wiring from automatic gearbox relay -J60- to starter (terminal 50), or check starter according to current flow diagram.

Checking voltage supply –  Pull out automatic gearbox relay -J60-. –  Connect voltage tester -V.A.G 1527B- as follows:

Relay carrier in plenum chamber electronics box, position 4 contact	Measure against
1	Earth
5	Earth

–  Turn ignition key to “start” position. t  The LED should light up in each case. –  If LED does not light up, check wiring → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

Checking activation –  Connect voltage tester -V.A.G 1527B- as follows:

Relay carrier in plenum chamber electronics box, position 4 contact	Measure against
3	Battery positive

–  Move selector lever from “S” to “P” and back to “S”. l  The LED should light up in selector lever positions “N” or “P”, but not in the other positions. –  If LED does not light up, check selector mechanism → Chapter and adjustment of selector lever cable → Chapter.
