Check throttle valve control unit for vehicles ► 07.97
Check idling switch
–  Connect vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- and select address word 01 “Engine electronics”. Engine idling.
–  Select 08 for the function “read measured value block” and further select display group 002.
   
Observe display in display field 4.
  Note
Meaning of the digits in the display field 4:
 
Reading measured value block 2                      ->
850/rpm    120 mg/s    0 km/s   0100
Display field 4Meaning of the display
1XXXTrailing throttle
X1XXIdling
XX1XPartial load
XXX1Full load

The read-out for the idling must be on “0100”.
–  Slowly accelerate.
   
The following appears in the display:
The read-out for the partial load must be on “0010”. (When opening the throttle valve, the idling switch opens at the same time).
–  If the specified values are not reached, switch off the ignition and connect the test box -V.A.G 1598/22- to the wiring loom of the engine control unit → Chapter.
–  Measure the resistance between the sockets 67 and 69 using a handheld multimeter.
Specified value: continuity, max. 1.5 °Ω. (Throttle valve shut)
–  Slightly open throttle valve.
Specified value: ∞ Ω (no continuity)
–  If the specified value is not reached, check the wiring and the contacts for continuity, damage or contamination according to the current flow diagram, if necessary clean or replace damaged parts → Current flow diagrams and Fitting locations.
–  Then adapt the engine control unit to the throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
–  If the specified value is not reached again, check throttle valve for dirt and/or resistance and clean if necessary.
–  Repeat adaptation of the throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
–  If the adaptation cannot be started or successfully completed, replace the throttle valve control unit.
–  Perform adaptation of the throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
Inspect sender for throttle valve positioner and throttle valve potentiometer
–  Unplug the 8-pin connector from the throttle valve control unit.
–  Switch on ignition.
 
Reading measured value block 2                      -> 
1000/rpm     120 mg/s     0 km/s  0010
–  Use handheld multimeter to measure voltage between the contacts 4 and 7 at the 8-pin plug.
Specified value: min. 4.8 V
If the specified value is not reached, connect the 8-pin plug.
–  Start engine.
–  Select 08 for the function “read measured value block” and display group number 098 → Chapter.
  S24-0214
The following appears in the display:
The values in the display field 1 (voltage of the throttle valve positioner potentiometer) must be between 3.70 V up to 4.75 V.
The values in the display field 2 (voltage of the throttle valve positioner potentiometer) must be between 2.28 V up to 4.75 V.
If the specified values are not reached:
–  Switch off ignition.
–  Connect the test box -V.A.G 1598/22 - to the wiring loom of the engine control unit → Chapter.
–  Unplug the 8-pin connector from the throttle valve control unit.
 
Reading measured value block 98                      ->
4.20 V     3.48 V    00000000         00
–  Test wiring between the test box and the 8-pin plug with multimeter for continuity.
–  Test wiring with multimeter for short-circuit relative to each other.

–  Remove possible line interruptions and dirt at the contacts, erase fault memory and carry out adaptation of the throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
–  If the specified value is not reached again, check throttle valve for dirt and/or resistance and clean if necessary.
–  Repeat adaptation of the throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
–  If the adaptation cannot be started or successfully completed, replace the throttle valve control unit.
–  Perform adaptation of the throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
–  If the adaptation cannot be started or successfully completed, replace the engine control unit → Chapter.
–  If the adaptation was carried out successfully, carry out once again the adaptation with the old (disassembled) throttle valve control unit → Chapter.
