Test Procedure

Electrical test
- Switch OFF ignition.
- Remove plenum panel inner cover.







- Release multi-pin connector, then disconnect connector from control module.







- Connect VAG 1598/18 test box to multi-pin connector -1- and lock in direction of arrow -2-.

Using the VAG 1598/18 test box the wiring can be checked according to the wiring diagram


CAUTION! In order to avoid interference with electronic components, switch to the correct test range on the multi-meter before connecting the test leads.


NOTE:
- For testing use a Fluke 83 multimeter or equivalent with auxiliary wiring from VAG 1594.
- The specified values are valid for an ambient temperature of 0 - 40 °C (50 - 104 °F).
- If measured values deviate from the specified values, determine the malfunction using the appropriate wiring diagram.
- If measured values deviate only slightly from the specified values, clean the sockets and connectors of the testers and test leads and repeat the test. Before replacing the particular components, test wiring and connections and, particularly if specified values are below 10 Ohms, repeat resistance measurement on component.
- Before replacing components, check the respective wiring and connectors. Repeat resistance tests when values are below 10 Ohms


After electrical tests:








- Connect multi-pin connector on Transmission Control Module -J217- pins (arrows) then lock connector.
