Checking voltage supply  
     
-  Disconnect TP sensor harness connector.
     
-  Switch ignition ON.
    
If neither specified value is obtained:  
If one of the specified values is not obtained, check ECM wiring as 
follows:  - 
Switch multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to measure resistance ( ) 
and connect in sequence between terminals 1 (B+) and 2 (GND), then 
between terminals 1 (B+) and 3 (signal).    Specified value: 4.5 to 5.5 volts
-  Check TP sensor resistance   page 24

 .
-  Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness connector   page 01
-

 . 
    
-  Check Ground (GND) wire for continuity between TP sensor connector 
terminal 2 and test box socket D12.

-  Check B+ wire for continuity between TP sensor 
connector terminal 1 and test box socket A3. 
     
  
Specified value: max. 1 ohm ( )     
-  Check signal wire for continuity between TP 
sensor connector terminal 3 and test box socket 
A24. 
     
  
Specified value: max. 1 ohm ( )      If the specified value is not obtained:  
     
-  Determine open or short circuit in wiring using 
wiring diagram; repair as necessary.
