Note:

Checking operation=> Reading measured value block display group 017, Page 01-143.

Test requirements:

• ● Final control diagnosis has been performed

Checking internal resistance

• ‒ Pull connector off EGR valve -N18

• ‒ → Connect multimeter to valve to measure resistance
• ‒ Specification: 25 ... 35 ω
• ‒ If the specification is not attained, renew EGR valve -N18.

Checking power supply

• ‒ Pull connector off EGR valve -N18

• ‒ → Connect voltage tester V.A.G 1527 B as follows:

• ‒ Start final control diagnosis and actuate fuel pump relay -J17.
• ‒ The LED should light up.

If the LED does not light up:

• ‒ Carry out the following tests (marked with dots):

• ● → Check fuse S229 (in fuse holder, position 29).

• ● → Check for open circuit between contact 1 on connector and fuse in fuse holder .

• ● Check fuel pump relay => Page 24-43

Checking actuation

• ‒ → Connect voltage tester V.A.G 1527 B to contacts 1 and 2 of the connector.
• ‒ Start final control diagnosis => Page 01-75 and actuate EGR valve -N18.
• ‒ The LED should flash.

If the LED lamp does not flash or if it lights up continuously:

• ‒ → With the ignition switched off, use adapter V.A.G 1598/12 to connect test box V.A.G 1598 A to connector D only of engine control unit (control unit remains disconnected) => Page 24-17.

• ‒ → Check for open circuit and short to positive or earth in the following wiring connections:

• ‒ Rectify short circuit or open circuit if necessary.
