Checking voltage supply







- Disconnect 4-pin connector from Motor for intake flap -V157- (arrow).
- Switch ignition on.







- Measure voltage supply between connector terminal 2 and engine Ground (GND):
Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If specified value is not obtained:
- Check wire from 4-pin connector terminal 2 to Power Supply (Terminal 30, B+) Relay -J317- according to wiring diagram:
- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM), Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data. Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data
- generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

If specified value is obtained:
- Measure voltage supply between connector terminals 1 + 2:
Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If specified value is not obtained:
- Check Ground (GND) wire terminal 1 to chassis Ground (GND) according to wiring diagram:
- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM), Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data. Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data
- generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

If specified value is obtained:
- Check wires to Engine Control Module (ECM) according to wiring diagram.

Check wires to control module
- Connect test box (1598/42) to Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) -J248- wiring harness using adapter cable (V.A.G 1598/39-1), connecting test box for wiring test. Test Box, Connecting For Wiring Test







- Check wires between test box and 4-pin connector for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

Terminal 3 + socket 60
Terminal 4 + socket 25

Wire resistance: max. 1.5 Ohms

- Check wires for short circuit to each other, to vehicle Ground (GND) and to B+.
Specified value: Infinite Ohms

If no malfunctions are found in wires:
- Replace Motor for intake flap -V157-.
- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM), Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data. Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data
- generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
