Checking solenoid valves with vehicle moving

  • ◆ The solenoid valves can be checked whilst driving via "Read measured value block 08"; "display group number 004".
  • ◆ The table shows which of the solenoid valves -N88-, -N89- and -N90- are activated in each selector lever position. These solenoid valves control the selector valves for the relevant gears.
  • ◆ Solenoid valve -N91- controls the modulation valve for the lock-up clutch.
  • ◆ Solenoid valves -N92 and -N94 are supplementary valves which are designed to smooth out the gearshift; they are only activated during gear changes and appear in displays 5 and 6. The displays will read either "0" or "1", depending on the valve condition during the gearshift.
  • ◆ V.A.G 1551 display zone 1 has 6 characters (0000 00) and is read as follows:

  • ◆ Solenoid valves with variable switch condition are indicated with "X" in the following tables.

1)    When driving, a second mechanic is needed for reading the specified values.

2)    The torque converter lock-up clutch must be open. When the lock-up clutch is open, the torque converter slip may increase up to the stall speed. The lock-up clutch is open when "H" = hydraulic with slip is displayed in display zone 1 for the gear which is currently selected. Additionally the character "+" is displayed. "+" signifies that the engine speed (pump speed) is greater than the turbine speed, and "-" signifies that the engine speed is less than the turbine speed.

=> "Fault-finding" binder, Power transmission

3)    Test conditions: the gearshift must be completed, the torque converter lock-up clutch must be closed and the accelerator pedal value must be constant.

4)    If the torque converter slip speed shown on the display is too high, this may also indicate a slipping clutch or brake. Determine in which gear and in which selector element the fault occurs.
