Final control diagnosis
Performing final control diagnosis

The final control diagnosis activates the following components in the stated sequence:

1.

Fuel pump relay (J17)

2.

Activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 (N80)

3.

Secondary air inlet valve (N112)
(display is of no consequence)

4.

Secondary air pump relay (J299)
(display is of no consequence)

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

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

Check conditions

 
N24-0831
  • ● → Fuses 30, 31 and 36 must be OK.
  • ● The battery voltage must be at least 11.5 V.
  • ● All electrical consumers, e.g. lights and rear window heating must be switched off.
  • ● If the vehicle is equipped with an air conditioning system, this must be switched off.

Notes:

  • ◆ All functions of V.A.G 1551/1552 can also be carried out with the new tester VAS 5051. Connecting VAS 5051 .
  • ◆ 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 are activated 50 times unless the ⇒ key is pressed to switch manually to the next final control.
  • ◆ The final control is checked acoustically or by touch.
  • ◆ 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.

Work sequence

  • ‒ Connect the fault reader V.A.G 1551 (V.A.G 1552). Then switch ignition on and select engine control unit with the "Address word" 01.
    (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine control unit => Page 01-10 .)
 
→ Indicated on display:
Rapid data transfer     HELP
Select function XX
  • ‒ Operate fault reader taking into account the information on the display:
  • ‒ Press keys 0 and 3 for the function "Final control diagnosis".
 
→ Indicated on display:
Rapid data transfer     Q
03 Final control diagnosis

Activating fuel pump relay (J17):

  • ‒ Confirm input with Q key.
 
→ Indicated on display:
Final control diagnosis     ⇒
Fuel pump relay-J17
  • The fuel pump relay (relay position 1 on relay plate) must click (max. 50 seconds) until the next control element is activated by pressing the ⇒key.

Note:

During the activation of the fuel pump relay the fuel pump must be heard to run at intervals.

If the relay does not click:

  • ‒ Check fuel pump relay:

=> Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations

Activating activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 (N80):

  • ‒ Press ⇒key.
 
→ Indicated on display:
Final control diagnosis     ⇒
Activ. charcoal filter solenoid valve 1     -N80
  • The activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 must click (max. 50 seconds) until the next control element is activated by pressing ⇒key.

If the solenoid valve does not click:

 
N01-0415
  • ‒ → Pull the 2 pin connector off solenoid valve 1 (N80) -arrow-.
 
N01-0134
  • ‒ → Connect diode test lamp V.A.G 1527 using adapter cables from V.A.G 1594 to detached connector.
         The LED must flash

LED flashes:

  • ‒ Proceed with final control diagnosis until completed.
  • ‒ Switch off ignition.
  • ‒ Renew activated charcoal filter solenoid valve 1 (N80):

=> Repair group 20; Activated charcoal filter system; Servicing parts of activated charcoal filter system

  • ‒ Interrogate fault memory, if necessary, repair any faults and then erase fault memory => Page 01-20 , interrogating and erasing fault memory.
 
N24-0943
  • ‒ Erase the learnt values and adapt the engine control unit again=> Page 24-128 .

LED does not flash:

  • ‒ Proceed with final control diagnosis until completed.
  • ‒ Switch off ignition.
  • ‒ → Connect test box V.A.G 1598/31 to control unit wiring harness. The engine control unit remains disconnected.
 
A24-0090
  • ‒ → Check wiring for open circuit between test box and 2-pin connector:
         Contact 2 and test box socket 61
         Wire resistance: Max. 1.5 ω
  • ‒ Check wiring additionally for short to vehicle earth or battery positive.
         Specification: ∞ω
  • ‒ Check wire between 2 pin connector contact 1 and fuel pump relay (J17) for open circuit using current flow diagram.
         Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ω

If no fault is detected in the wiring:

  • ‒ Replace engine control unit
    => Page 24-121 .

Activating secondary air inlet valve (N112):

  • ‒ Press ⇒key.
 
→ Indicated on display:
