Testing the speed signal
Testing the speed signal
If the speed display on the speedometer is faulty, one must check whether the speedometer signal is present.
–  Connect vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- → Chapter.
–  Reading measured value block → Chapter.
–  Select the display group 001 and conduct a test drive.
If the speed is indicated in the display of the vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552-, the dash panel insert is defective and must be replaced.
If also no speed display appears in the display of the vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552-, the signal must be tested on the multi-pin connection on the dash panel insert.
–  Remove dash panel insert → Chapter.
–  Connect the test box -V.A.G 1598- with the adapter -V.A.G 1598/25- to the blue 32 pin connector.
–  Use multimeter -V.A.G 1526 A- to measure the voltage between the chamber 28 and the vehicle mass.
–  Roll the vehicle slightly forward and backward.
Nominal values:
The voltage must rise from 0 V to approx. 12 V and drop again to 0 V (pulsating direct current voltage).
If the specified values were not reached, the wiring to the vehicle speed sender must be tested.
–  Test the wiring according to the current flow diagram → binder “Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault Finding and Fitting Locations”
If the wiring is O.K., the vehicle speed sender must be replaced.
