• ● Fuse for Lambda probe heating OK.

=> Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault-finding and Fitting Locations binder

Test sequence

• ‒ → Unscrew protective cover -2- -arrows-.
• ‒ Unplug 4-pin connector (brown) for lambda probe downstream of catalytic converter -G130.

• ‒ → Connect multimeter between contacts 1 and 2 to measure resistance.
• ‒ Specified value at room temperature 6.4 ... 47.5 ω

If specified value is not attained:

• ‒ Replace lambda probe downstream of catalytic converter -G130.

If specified value is attained:

• ‒ Check the voltage supply to the Lambda probe heating.

Checking voltage supply for lambda probe heating

• ‒ → Connect multimeter between contacts 1 (positive) and 2 (earth) to measure voltage.
• ‒ Start the engine.
• ‒ Specified value: approx. battery voltage

Note:

Points at which Lambda probe heating is switched on and off by engine control unit can be observed in "Reading measured value block" function, display group number 041 and display zone 4.

If no voltage is present:

• ‒ → Connect multimeter as follows to measure voltage:

• ‒ Operate starter briefly.
• ‒ Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If no voltage is present:

• ‒ Checking the wiring from contact 1 on the connector via the fuse to the fuel pump relay for an open circuit:

If voltage supply is OK:

• ‒ → Connect multimeter as follows to measure voltage:

• ‒ Start the engine.
• ‒ Specified value: approx. battery voltage, may fluctuate
• ‒ Switch ignition off.

If no voltage is present:

• ‒ Connect test box V.A.G 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control unit; do not connect the engine control unit .

• ‒ → Checking for open circuit in the following wiring connections:

• ‒ Rectify open circuit, if necessary.

If wiring is OK but there is no earth connection for the Lambda probe heating:

• ‒ Replace engine control unit => Page 24-32.
