Solenoid valves in valve body, checking
Recommended special tools and equipment
- V.A.G 1526 multimeter or V.A.G 1715 multimeter
- V.A.G 1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagram
Requirements
- Respective fuses must be OK:
- Selector lever must be in -P- position.
- All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster must be switched off.
- Parking brake must be engaged.
- Ground (GND) connections to transmission must be OK.
- Ignition switched off.
Work sequence (vehicles with 01M transmission
- Disconnect 12-pin harness connector at transmission.
- Observe safety precautions.
- Check harness connector for contact corrosion and ingress of water.
If harness connector is not OK:
- Repair malfunction.
- Erase DTC memory of Transmission Control Module (TCM), Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data.
- Generate readiness code.
- If harness connector is OK:
- Check resistance of solenoid valves.
Checking resistance of solenoid valves
- Re-connect 12-pin connector.
- Connect test box to control module wiring harness, connect test box for wiring test.
- Measure resistance of solenoid valves at test box between sockets:
Component Sockets Specified value
Solenoid valve 1 -N88- 55 + 67 55.0 to 65.0 ohms
Solenoid valve 2 -N89- 54 + 67 55.0 to 65.0 ohms
Solenoid valve 3 -N90- 9 + 67 55.0 to 65.0 ohms
Solenoid valve 4 -N91- 47 + 67 4.5 to 6.5 ohms
Solenoid valve 5 -N92- 56 + 67 55.0 to 65.0 ohms
Solenoid valve 6 -N93- 22 + 58 4.5 to 6.5 ohms
Solenoid valve 7 -N94- 10 + 67 55.0 to 65.0 ohms
Note: Resistance value is valid at approx. 20° C. At higher temperatures, resistance value increases.
If one of the specified values is not obtained:
- Check wires to Transmission Control Module (TCM) according to wiring diagram.
Checking wires to Transmission Control Module (TCM)
- Disconnect 12-pin harness connector at transmission.
- Check wires between test box and 12-pin connector to Transmission Control Module (TCM) for open circuit according to wiring diagram.
- Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ohms
