Golf Mk3

Automatic gearbox self- diagnosis 01M - from 01.95
Gearbox: Electrical test
Electrical check
 
N37-0135

The automatic gearbox control unit -J217- is located under rear seat.

  • ‒ → Switch ignition off, release multi-pin connector in direction of arrow, and pull off control unit.
 
N37-0139
  • ‒ → Fit test box V.A.G 1598/18 onto multi-pin connector (1) and lock, in direction of arrow (2).

Using test box V.A.G 1598/18 the wiring can be checked according to current flow diagram.

  • ‒ Before connecting the test leads the correct measuring range on tester must be adjusted. Otherwise the electronic components can be destroyed !
  • ◆ Use the hand multimeter V.A.G 1526 with auxiliary cables from V.A.G 1594 for testing.
  • ◆ The specified values are valid for an ambient temperature from 0 °C...40 °C.
  • ◆ If the readings obtained differ from the specified values, determine fault on the basis of the current flow diagram.
  • ◆ If the readings obtained differ only slightly from the specified values, clean sockets and connectors of the testers and test leads and repeat test. Before replacing the particular components, test wiring and connections and, particularly if specified values are below 10 ω, repeat resistance measurement on component.
 
N37-0136

After electrical checks

  • ‒ → Fit multi-pin connector on control unit -J217- and lock.

When fitting ensure that the guides (arrows) are engaged on control unit pins.
