Special tools, workshop equipment, testers, measuring instruments and auxiliary items required

  • ◆ Fault reader V.A.G 1551 or vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552 with cable V.A.G 1551/3
  • ◆ Test box V.A.G 1598/31
  • ◆ Adapter set V.A.G 1594
  • ◆ Hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 or multimeter V.A.G 1715
  • ◆ Diode test lamp V.A.G 1527
  • ◆ Current flow diagram

Test conditions

 
N01-0485
  • ● → Fuse No. 10, 13 and 14 OK
  • ● Ignition on, engine not running
  • ● Voltage supply for Motronic (J271) OK

Notes:

  • ◆ The final control diagnosis can only be carried out if the engine is stationary and ignition switched on.
  • ◆ The final control diagnosis will be broken off if the engine is started or a rotational impulse is recognised.
  • ◆ During the final control diagnosis the individual final controls will be activated for approx. 60 seconds or until advancing to the next final control by pressing the ⇒ button.
  • ◆ The final control diagnosis can be aborted by pressing the C key so that it need not be continued with the ⇒key to the end. This is especially important because the injectors can be actuated with the ⇒key according to the firing order and inject fuel.
  • ◆ The final controls are checked acoustically or by touching.
  • ◆ If it is necessary to repeat the final control diagnosis, without first running the engine briefly, switch the ignition off for approx. 2 seconds.
  • ◆ The electric fuel pump will run during the complete final control diagnosis.
