| The control units capable of data bus are connected together via two data bus wires twisted together (CAN_High and CAN_Low) and exchange information (messages). Information not available in the data bus will be recognised as a fault by the engine control unit as well as other CAN data bus control units. |
| The CAN data bus requires a matching resistor of 66 Ω to function fault-free. This central matching resistor is located in the engine control unit. |
| Special tools and workshop equipment required |

| A fault has been recognised by the CAN data bus self-diagnosis. |
| –
| Release connector from engine control unit and pull off. |
| –
| Connect adapter cable, 121-pin -V.A.G 1598/31- to engine control unit. The control unit wiring harness is not connected by this action. |
| –
| Check central matching resistor in engine control unit. |
| –
| To do this, perform resistance measurement between sockets 6 + 7 of adapter cable, 121-pin -V.A.G 1598/31-. |
| Specification: 60.0…72.0 Ω |
