Safety precautions


WARNING!

Fire hazard! Do not smoke, work near heaters
or open flame, or have anything nearby that
could ignite fuel. The fuel system is under
pressure. Before opening, cover connections
with a rag, and open carefully to release
pressure. Be alert when working on or near
the engine and ignition wires. High secondary
ignition voltage can cause serious personal
injury and damage vehicle components.

DO NOT touch or disconnect ignition system
wires when the engine is running or being
cranked at starting RPM.
DO NOT operate starter if fuel injectors are
removed.

Be sure the ignition is switched OFF, when:
Disconnecting or connecting the battery,
ignition wires, or test equipment leads
Disconnecting fuel injection system wiring
Washing the engine or engine
compartment.

BEFORE cranking engine at starting RPM
(e.g. for compression testing) disable ignition
and fuel injection systems:

Disconnect both ignition coil power output
stages, and both Motronic fuses at the E-box
in the plenum.
Disconnect harness connectors from all fuel
injectors.
Afterward, erase DTC memory.

Checking HO2S reference voltage

- Disconnect 4-pin connector -1- (brown) for
HO2S -G39-.

If voltage is NOT OK:
If voltage is OK: - Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between harness
connector terminals 3 and 4 (to ECM), using adapter cables from VW
1594 connector test kit.
- Start engine and measure voltage.
Specified value: 0.40-0.50 volts
- Switch ignition off.

Fuel pump relay and connections,
checking


The fuel pump relay is located at relay position 4 on the relay panel on the
left side under the instrument panel.
Checking function of fuel pump relay -J17-
- Remove storage shelf in left-front footwell.

- Remove fuses 28, 29 and 34 from fuse panel.
- Connect VAG 1527B LED voltage tester between Ground and one of
the two terminals for fuse 28.
- Briefly crank starter.

LED test light must light up.
Fuel pump relay must be actuated (sound and vibration)

Fuses 28, 29 and 34 removed from fuse
panel

If the LED test light does not light up while cranking the starter, check
wiring as follows. - Connect VAG 1527B LED voltage tester between relay socket
terminals 28 (B+) and 29.
LED test light must light up (dimly).
- Briefly crank starter; LED test light must continue to light up (dimly).

If resistance is NOT OK: - Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector Page 01
-

. (Numbers marked on ECM connector match those on test box).
- Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to check for open
circuit between relay socket terminal 29 and test box socket 4.

Specified value: max. 1 - Repair wiring using applicable wiring diagram.
