Removing and installing Lambda probe > < Checking lambda probe heating
Motronic injection and ignition system (4-cyl.)
Testing lambda control (engine codes:APT, ARG)
Testing lambda probe signal wiring and activation

Note:

The lambda probe signal is monitored by the self-diagnosis system.

  • ‒ Interrogate fault memory .
 
A24-0094
  • ‒ If a fault in the lambda probe is displayed and the lambda probe heating is OK, unplug the lambda probe connector.
  • ‒ → Test voltage by connecting hand-held multimeter V.A.G 1526 (measuring range 2 V) between sockets 3 and 4 of connector on wiring harness.
  • ‒ Switch ignition on.
  • Specification: 450 ± 50 mV.

If the specification is not attained:

  • ‒ Test lambda probe wiring

If the specification is obtained:

  • ‒ Renew the lambda probe.

Test lambda probe wiring

  • ‒ Connect test box V.A.G 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control unit. Do not connect to the engine control unit itself.
    => Page 24-10.
  • ‒ → Test the following wiring connections for open circuits:

  • Resistance in wiring: max. 1.5 ω

=> Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations binder

  • ‒ → Test wires on 4-pin connector for short circuits with each other.

If no faults are found in the wiring:

  • ‒ Fit a new engine control unit -J220
