Checking Lambda probe and Lambda regulation after catalyst
Only engine codes ANV, AUC, AUD, ANW
  Note!
Only gold-plated contacts may be used when servicing Lambda probe connector contacts 3 and 4.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Fault reader -V.A.G 1551- or vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- with cable -V.A.G 1551/3A-
t  Test box -V.A.G 1598/22-
t  Hand multimeter -V.A.G 1526- or multimeter -V.A.G 1715-
t  Adapter set -V.A.G 1594-
t  Current flow diagram
Check conditions
   
l  All fuses must be OK.
l  The battery voltage must be at least 11.5 V.
l  Exhaust system between catalyst and cylinder head must be free of leaks
l  Coolant temperature must be at least 80 °C, ⇒ display group 04, display zone 3.
Functional check
–  Connect fault reader -V.A.G 1551- (-V.A.G 1552-). Start engine and select “Address word” 01 of engine control unit. When doing this the engine must be running at idling speed. (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine control unit → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.)

The engine speed is increased by the control unit to approx. 1100...1300 rpm.
–  Run engine at increased speed until the catalyst temperature increases to min. 400 °C.
  Note!
This process can take a few minutes.
–  Press C key.
The engine speed decreases to idling speed.

– 
          Check Lambda control status after catalyst (display zone 2): Specification: 1 1 1 (Significance  → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051)
 
      Note!
t 
           The first position of the 3 digit number block fluctuates between 0 and 1 (Lambda probe heating on and off).
t 
           Depending upon the status of the Lambda control the 3 digit number block can show 0 or 1.
t 
           The bits in display zone 1 will not be set to 1 until the catalyst temperature has exceeded 400.0 °C (⇒ display group 34, display zone 2).
If the specification is not obtained:
– 
          Check Lambda probe heating after catalyst  → Chapter.
If the specification is obtained:
– 
          Change to display group 36 as follows:
– 
          Press C key.

– 
          Depress brake pedal.
The engine speed is increased by the control unit to approx. 1100...1300 rpm.
– 
          Check the Lambda probe voltage after catalyst in display zone 1: Specification: 0.000...1.000 V (can fluctuate slightly)
If the display in display zone 1 remains constant:
– 
          Press → key.
– 
          Press keys 0 and 6 for the function “End output” and confirm entry with the Q key.
– 
          Switch off ignition.
– 
          Continue check according to following table.

– 
          Run the engine at increased speed until the display in display zone 4 jumps from “Test OFF” to"Test ON. The catalyst temperature in display zone 2 must be min. 400 °C.
– 
          Maintain the increased engine speed until the display in display zone 4 shows the specification "B1-P2 OK.
 
      Note!
This process can take a few minutes.
If display zone 4 shows “B1-P2 n.OK”:
– 
          Press → key.
– 
          Press keys 0 and 6 for the function “End output” and confirm entry with the Q key.
– 
          Check exhaust system for leaks:  → Chapter
– 
          Carry out a test drive to remove possible residue on Lambda probe and repeat check.
Observe the valid safety precautions when carrying out a road test  → Chapter.
If the specifications are again not attained:
