NOTE: Before checking ECU terminal voltages, check all terminals
and connections for looseness or presence of corrosion.
Repair as needed, before continuing.
GROUND CIRCUITS
Using Multimeter (US 1119), check resistance of ground
connections for ECU. Remove ECU connector. Check continuity to ground
on terminals No. 13 and 19. See L - WIRING DIAGRAMS for terminal
identification. Resistance should be zero ohms. If resistance is not
zero ohms, repair open or short in wiring.
POWER CIRCUITS
1) Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECU connector. Using a
voltmeter, turn ignition on and check for battery voltage between ECU
connector terminals No. 13 (negative) and No. 14 (positive). See L -
WIRING DIAGRAMS for terminal identification and wire colors. If
battery voltage is not present, repair wiring as required.
2) Check terminals No. 13 (negative) and No. 1 (positive) for
battery voltage. If battery voltage is not present, check fuse No. 18
on fuse block. If fuse is okay, check wiring from ECU connector to
fuse box for open.
CONTROL UNIT (CIS-E)
GROUND CIRCUITS
Using Multimeter (US 1119), check resistance of ground
circuits for ECU. Remove ECU connector. Check continuity to ground on
terminals No. 2 and No. 9. Resistance should be zero ohms. If
resistance is not zero ohms, repair open or short in wiring.
POWER CIRCUITS
Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECU connector. Using a
voltmeter, turn ignition on and check for battery voltage between ECU
connector terminals No. 2 (negative) and No. 1 (positive). See L -
WIRING DIAGRAMS for terminal identification and wire colors. If
battery voltage is not present, check fuse No. 23 on fuse block. If
fuse is okay, check CIS-E ECU connector to fuse box wiring for open.

circuits to ECU. The ECU engine ground is near ignition distributor.
Remove ECU connector. Check resistance to ground on terminal No. 35.
Resistance should be zero ohms. If resistance is not zero ohms, repair
open or short in wiring.
POWER CIRCUITS
Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECU connector. Using a
voltmeter, check terminals No. 12, 14, 19 and 34 for battery voltage.
If battery voltage is not present. Check fuses No. 15, 18 and 24. If
fuses are okay, check for open in wiring between ECU and fuse box. See
L - WIRING DIAGRAMS for terminal identification and wire colors.
ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES
AIRFLOW SENSOR (FOX & JETTA GLI)
1) Start engine to pressurized fuel system. Turn engine off
and remove intake boot from top of airflow sensor. Disconnect coil
secondary wire from coil and jumper to ground.
2) Check sensor play by slowly moving sensor plate through
travel range with a magnet. See Fig. 1. Resistance should be felt.
Move plate back to the rest position. There should be no resistance.
If binding is felt, loosen sensor plate hold-down bolt and adjust
plate to center of venturi.
3) If resistance is uneven, remove airflow sensor from
housing to clean and lubricate lever assembly. If resistance is caused
by control plunger, remove and clean control plunger assembly. If
binding continues, replace fuel distributor.
4) Check position of airflow sensor plate. Airflow sensor
plate edge must be within .075" (1.9 mm) below the narrowest section
of the venturi. If not, bend sensor spring until correct specification
is obtained. Ensure a small gap exists between sensor lever and
control plunger.Fig. 1: Identifying Airflow Sensor Components (Fox & Jetta GLi)
