of more than 18 inches.
* DO NOT allow chemical cleaners, oil and grease to contact vinyl
covering on air bag unit.
* DO NOT place stickers or covers on steering wheel.
* Always disable air bag system before performing electric welding
on vehicle.
* Air bag system can only be tested using Diagnostic Tester (VAG
1551) and Multimeter (US-1119). Never use test light on air bag

(90
øC).
DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM
WARNING: System voltage is retained for about 20 MINUTES after system
is deactivated. Wait about 20 MINUTES after system is
disabled before servicing, as air bag may accidentally
deploy, causing personal injury.
Disabling & Activating System
To disable system, disconnect negative battery cable. Wait 20
MINUTES before working on vehicle. To activate system, reconnect
negative battery cable. Verify system is functioning properly. See
SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, radio will go into anti-theft
protection mode. Obtain radio anti-theft protection code
from owner prior to servicing vehicle.
DESCRIPTION
The air conditioning system is a cycling clutch type.
Compressor is cycled on and off by a thermostatic switch to maintain
constant cooling rate. System components include evaporator, expansion
valve, receiver-drier, control panel and condenser. A dual-pressure
switch includes a high-pressure cut-out switch and a low-pressure cut-
out switch.
Control panel includes 3 rotary knobs over 2 push buttons.
See Fig. 1. Left knob controls the fan and increases fan speed when
turned clockwise. Center knob is the temperature control and increases
heat by turning clockwise. Right knob controls air distribution.
The 2 push buttons are ON/OFF switches controlling A/C. Left
button controls normal A/C (outside air). Right button gives maximum
A/C using recirculating air. See Fig. 1.

ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition systems, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay.
VALVE CLEARANCE
NOTE: All models use hydraulic lifters. No adjustments are
required.
IGNITION TIMING
NOTE: See ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS in the G - TESTS W/CODES
article in this section for additional scan tester
operating instructions.
VR6 IGNITION TIMING
1) Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature.
Ensure engine oil temperature is 176øF (80øC). Ensure A/C and
electrical loads are off, including cooling fan.
2) Connect engine analyzer to engine. Connect Scan Tester
(VAG 1551) to Data Link Connectors (DLC) located in center console, in
front of shift lever. Ensure no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are
stored.
3) Ensure throttle position sensor is properly adjusted.
Ensure idle air control valve is okay. Valve must vibrate or hum.
Connect CO tester using Adapter (VAG 1363/3) on CO tap tube. DO NOT
remove oxygen sensor. Ensure exhaust system has no leaks.
4) Start engine and let it run at closed throttle (less than
1500 RPM). Operate scan tester and observe display. Press "1" button
to select RAPID DATA TRANSFER function. Press "Q" button to enter
input. Press right arrow button.

function by pressing right arrow button. Press "0" and "6" for END
OUTPUT function. Press "Q" button to enter input.
8) If idle speed, CO level or ignition timing is incorrect,
turn ignition off. Check accelerator pedal and throttle cable for ease
of operation. Check dashpot adjustment. Check throttle position
sensor, idle air control valve, and EGR valve.
IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE
NOTE: Mixture adjustment is NOT a part of normal tune-up procedure
and should not be performed unless mixture control unit is
replaced or vehicle fails emissions testing.
NOTE: Ensure fuel system pressure is correct before attempting
idle speed or mixture adjustment.

See VR6 IGNITION TIMING under IGNITION TIMING near the
beginning of this article.
THROTTLE BODY
THROTTLE BODY ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Throttle limiting (stop) screw is set by manufacturer and
should NOT be moved. If screw is accidentally turned,
perform throttle body adjustment.

flash for approximately 3 seconds in odometer display window as
ignition is turned on. When servicing becomes due (every 7500 miles),
appropriate service code will flash for approximately 60 seconds. The
four service codes available for display are as follows:
* IN 00 (No Service Necessary)
* OEL (Oil Change Service) Every 7500 Miles
* IN 01 (Inspection Service) Every 15,000 Miles
* IN 02 (Additional Servicing Work) Every 30,000 Miles
2) After performing required maintenance, each effected
service code displayed must be reset individually. For example, at 15,
000 miles service codes OEL and IN 01 will both need to be reset.
3) To reset service codes, turn ignition on. Press and hold
odometer reset button located below speedometer. While holding button,
press clock reset button (lower button for digital clock) located to
left of fuel gauge. Release buttons. Programming mode is now
activated. Service code OEL1.S (distance counter) should be displayed.
4) Press clock reset button once more. 7500 miles should now
be indicated on display. Desired mileage for reset may be attained by
pressing clock reset button. Mileage displayed will decrease in
increments of 500 miles each time button is pressed. This feature
should only be used to calibrate mileage when instrument cluster is
replaced. When desired mileage is displayed, press odometer reset
button.
5) Service code OEL2.S (time counter) should be displayed.
Press clock reset button. 6 (months) will be indicated on display.
Time counter for next oil change may be set by pressing clock reset
button if instrument cluster was replaced. When desired time is
displayed, press odometer reset button.
6) Service code IN 01.S (time counter) should be displayed.
Press clock reset button. 12 (months) will be indicated on display.
Time counter for next maintenance interval may be set by pressing
clock reset button if instrument cluster was replaced. When desired
time is displayed, press odometer reset button.
7) Service code IN 02.S (distance counter) should be
displayed. Press clock reset button. 30,000 (miles) will be indicated
on display. Desired mileage for reset may be attained by pressing
clock reset button. Mileage displayed will decrease in increments of
500 miles each time button is pressed. This feature should only be
used to calibrate mileage when instrument cluster is replaced. When
desired mileage is displayed, turn ignition off. Programming is now
stored in memory.
