Note:
- Voltage for the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 is supplied by the Fuel Pump (FP) Relay J17.

Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint.

Start diagnosis
- Remove the engine cover with air filter.

Checking internal resistance
- Disconnect the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 electrical harness connector.






- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.
Specified value: 20 to 35 Ohms (at approx. 20�C)
If the specification was not obtained:
- Replace the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking Voltage supply






- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND).






- Operate the starter briefly.
Specified value: battery voltage.
- Switch the ignition off.
If the specified value 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 wiring connection.
If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

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 Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 electrical harness connector T121 terminal 105 for an open circuit.






Specified value: 1.5 Ohms max.
If the specification is 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 detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:
- 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
