Testing knock sensor -G61-
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Test box -V.A.G 1598/31-
t  Hand multimeter (e.g. -V.A.G 1526 A-)
t  Adapter cable set (e.g. -V.A.G 1594 A-)
t  Current flow diagram
  Note
t  The actual knock sensor -G61- cannot be electrically tested.
t  Only used gilded contacts to repair the cable plug for the knock sensor.
t  The perfect functioning of the knock sensor requires an exact tightening torque of 20 Nm.
t  Check plug connections of the knock sensor to the wiring loom for corrosion.
Test condition
l  Fault on knock sensor detected by self-diagnosis.
Test sequence
   
–  Connect the test box -V.A.G 1598/31- to the wiring loom on the engine control unit → Chapter.
–  Check the wiring of the knock sensor for short-circuits.
   Sockets: 101 + 109
   Specified value: ∞ Ω
If no short-circuit is found:
–  Pull out plug from knock sensor 1 -G61-.
–  Check wiring between test box and knock sensor for interruption according to the current flow diagram.
   Contact 1 and bush 109
   Contact 2 and bush 102
   Contact 3 and bush 100
   Cable resistance: max. 1.5 Ω
–  Measure the resistance between the contacts on the knock sensor.
   Specified value: ∞ Ω
If the lines are not found to be faulty:
–  Slacken knock sensor and then tighten again to 20 Nm.
–  Perform a test drive.
   During the test drive the following operating conditions must be fulfilled:
t  The coolant temperature should rise beyond 80°C
t  once the temperature is reached, the following operating conditions must be repeated:
   Idling speed
partial load
full load
trailing throttle
t  in case of full load the speed should be increased beyond 3500 rpm-1
–  Interrogate the fault memory again.
If the complaint still exists:
–  Replace knock sensor → Chapter.
