1996 AUDI A4 sensor

24-65

Voltage supply for Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor, checking (Bosch MAF sensor)

Note:
Voltage is supplied to Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor from Fuel Pump (FP)
relay.
If there is no battery voltage.
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations - Disconnect connector from Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
- Connect multimeter to terminal 2 of connector and engine Ground
(GND) for voltage measurement.
- Operate starter briefly.
Specification: approx. battery voltage
- Check wire connection from terminal 2 of connector to Fuel Pump (FP)
relay via fuse for open circuit and short circuit to Ground (GND), repair
if necessary.

Wire resistance: max: 1.5 Ohm

- Also check all wires for short circuit to each
other.

Specification: infinite Ohms (no continuity)

- If the voltage supply and the wire connection are
OK, replace Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor -G70-.

Checking voltage supply to Mass Air Flow
(MAF) sensor

- Disconnect harness connector from air mass
meter.

Note:
The mass air flow sensor receives its voltage supply via the fuel pump
relay.
If the reading does not match the battery voltage:
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations - Connect hand-held multimeter (voltage measurement range) between
engine Ground (GND) and socket 2 of connector.
- Operate starter briefly.
Specification: approx. battery voltage
- Check for open circuit or short to Ground (GND) in wiring between fuel
pump relay and socket 2 on connector via fuse. Repair if necessary.

Checking wiring for mass air flow sensor

Note:
The wiring test includes also testing the signal
wire.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness
for engine control module. Do not connect to the
engine control module itself Page 24
