Test condition
l
Battery voltage, 11.5 V minimum
Test process
–
Detach the 6-contacts connector from the throttle valve control unit.
–
To test the voltage, connect the multimeter to contacts 2+6 of the connector, using the auxiliary leads of the -V.A.G. 1594 A-.
–
Switch on the ignition. Target value: 4.5 V min
–
Switch off the ignition.
–
To test the voltage, connect the multimeter to contact 2 of the connector and earth.
–
Switch on the ignition. Target value: 4.5 V min
–
Switch off the ignition.
If the target values are not reached:
–
Connect the test box -V.A.G. 1598/31- to the wiring harness of the control unit, without connecting the engine control unit.
–
Test for open circuits in the wiring between the test box and the connector, following the wiring diagram. Contact 1+female contact 92 Contact 2+female contact 83 Contact 3+female contact 117 Contact 4+female contact 84 Contact 5+female contact 118 Contact 6+female contact 91 Wire resistance: 1.5 Ω max.
–
Also test the wiring shorts circuit between wires.
–
Test the wiring for short circuits to battery positive or earth.
If no fault is found in the wiring:
–
Test the voltage supply of the engine control unit → Chapter.
