Check conditions
- Engine speed (RPM) sensor must be OK, checking. Testing and Inspection
- Fuel pump relay must be OK
- Fuses 28 and 32 must be OK.
Test sequence
- First check the activation of the injectors via Output Diagnostic Test Mode. Refer to "Scan Tool Testing/Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) Initiating" Testing and Inspection
If one or more injectors do not click:
Checking resistance of injectors
- Check resistance of injectors between contacts.
Specification: 12 - 17 ohms
NOTE: The resistance figures are valid for approx. 20 °C. At higher temperatures the resistance figures will increase.
If the specification is not attained:
- Replace faulty injector.
Checking voltage supply
- Pull connectors off injectors
- Connect diode test lamp to contact 1 and Ground of relevant injector connector.
- Operate the starter and check the voltage supply for the injector.
- The LED must light up
If the LED does not light up:
- Switch off ignition.
- Check wire between 2-pin connector contact 1 and fuel pump relay (J17) for open circuit using wiring diagram.
Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ohms
Checking activation and voltage supply
- Pull connectors off injectors.
- Connect the VAG1527B Voltage tester to the connector contacts of the injector to be tested using adapter cables from VAG 1594.
- Operate starter and check activation for injector.
- The LED must flicker
If the LED does not flicker:
- Switch off ignition.
- Connect test box VAG 1598/31 to control module wiring harness. The engine control module remains disconnected.
- Check the wiring between the test box and connector for open circuit, short circuit to Ground or positive using wiring diagram:
Injector 1: contact 2 + socket 96
Injector 2: contact 2 + socket 89
Injector 3: contact 2 + socket 97
Injector 4: contact 2 + socket 88
Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ohms
If no fault can be found in the wiring:
- Replace engine electronics control module.
