Wiring and component testing using 
VAG1598/31 test box
 
     
Note:  
     
VAG1598/31 test box is designed so that it can 
be simultaneously connected to the wiring 
harness at the Engine Control Module (ECM) 
and also to the ECM itself. 
     This is advantageous because electronic 
engine control remains fully functional (e.g. 
measurement of signals with engine running) 
when the test box is attached. 
     Relevant test procedures note whether Engine 
Control Module (ECM) should also be 
connected to the test box or not. 
     Always use VAG1594A connector test kit to 
attach measurement devices (e.g. VAG1527B 
voltage tester, VAG1526 multimeter etc.). 
     
WARNING! 
     
To avoid damaging electronic components, 
set measuring range before connecting test 
leads and observe all test requirements.

Procedure  
VAG1598/31
-  Switch ignition off.
-  Remove Engine Control Module (ECM)   Page 24
