Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Solenoid Valve -N112- Checking
Recommended special tools and equipment
- VAG1526A hand multimeter
- VAG1594A connector test kit
- VAG1598/31 test box
Test requirements:
- Fuse for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) solenoid valve OK
- Fuel Pump (FP) Relay OK; checking.
- Ignition switched off.
NOTE: Voltage is supplied to Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Solenoid Valve -N112- via the Fuel Pump (FP) relay.
Work procedure
- Disconnect electrical harness connector from Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Solenoid Valve -N112- (item 2).
Checking internal resistance
- Connect multimeter at valve for resistance measurement.
Specified value: 27 to 30 Ohms
If specified value is not obtained.
- Replace Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Solenoid Valve -N112-.
If specified value is obtained:
Checking voltage supply
- Connect multimeter between terminal 1 and 2 for voltage measurement.
- Operate starter briefly.
Specified value: approx. battery voltage
If there is no voltage:
- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:
Harness connector Measure to
Terminal
1 Engine Ground (GND)
- Operate starter briefly.
Specified value: approx. battery voltage
- Switch ignition off.
If there is no voltage again:
- Check wire connection from harness connector terminal 1 to Fuel Pump (FP) Relay -J17- via fuse for open circuit according to wiring diagram.
Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 Ohms
If necessary, repair wire connection.
If voltage supply is OK:
Check Ground (GND) activation
- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:
Harness connector Measure to
Terminal
2 B+
- Operate starter briefly.
Specified value: approx. battery voltage
- Switch ignition off.
If specified value is not obtained:
- Connect test box to wiring harness of Engine Control Module (ECM). ECM is not connected.
- Check the following wire connection for open circuit according to wiring diagram:
Harness connector Test box
Terminal Socket
2 9
Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 Ohms
- Check the wire for short circuit to B+ and Ground (GND).
Specified value: Infinite Ohms (no continuity)
- If necessary, repair wire connection.
If no malfunctions are found in wire:
- Replace Engine Control Module (ECM).
Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:
1. Check DTC memory.
2. If necessary, erase DTC memory.
3. Generate readiness code. With Generic Scan Tool
- End diagnosis and switch ignition off.
