-
Connect VAG 1598 test box and VAG 1598/11 adapter harness on ECM and wiring harness. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Scan Tool Testing and Procedures/Scan Tool Testing/Scan Tool Connecting and Initial Checks/Connecting and Testing VAG 1598 Pin
Out Box
-
Connect multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between test box socket 7 (positive) and Ground (GND).
-
Switch ignition on.
^
Specified value: minimum 9 volts
-
Connect multimeter to socket 45 (GND) and socket 7 (positive).
^
Specified value: minimum 9 volts
If one of the specified values is not obtained:
-
Connect VAG 1598 test box and VAG 1598/11 adapter harness to engine wiring harness only.
-
Check wiring between CMP sensor and ECM for continuity and/or short circuit according to wiring diagram.
-
Check for continuity of GND wire from CMP sensor connector terminal 3 to GND.
^
Specified value: maximum 1 (ohm)
-
Check positive wire from terminal 1 of CMP sensor connector to test box socket 7 for continuity.
^
Specified value: maximum 1 (ohm)
-
Check both wires for short to each othen
If one specified value is not obtained:
-
Repair break in wiring and/or short between CMP sensor connector and ECM connector C-.
