Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Service and Repair

Start diagnosis






- Remove the protective cover - arrows - and disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 electrical harness connector.

- Switch the ignition on.






- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) G130 electrical harness connector terminals 3 to 4 for voltage.

Specified value: 0.400 to 0.500 Volts

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was obtained:

- Replace the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) G130.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

- Install the test box Test Box 105 Pin VAG1598/31.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Service and Repair






- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) G130 electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 electrical harness connector T121 terminals for an open circuit according to the wiring diagram.






Specified value: 1.5 Ohms max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring:

- Erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the MFI Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Service and Repair

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code.

End diagnosis
