- Switch ignition on. The diode test lamp should
light up.

- If diode test lamp does not light up, test for open
circuits in wiring between contact 1 and fuse for
injectors. If necessary, rectify open circuit.

- If diode test lamp lights up, test activation of
injectors.

C - Testing activation of injectors

- Remove plug connector from the injector which
is to be tested.

Specified value: the diode test lamp should start flashing.
Note:
Diode test lamps with a low current draw continue to glow faintly between - Connect diode test lamp VAG 1527 between the battery positive
terminal (+) and contact 2 on the connector.
- Operate starter for a few seconds (the engine can be allowed to start).

.

- Remove fuel pump relay -J17 from central
electrics, relay position 4.

Checking voltage supply

- Switch ignition on.

Specification: approx. battery voltage in each case
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations - Connect hand-held multimeter VAG1526 between Ground (GND) and
relay panel contact 19 (B+; terminal 15 from ignition switch).
Disconnect, then re-connect between Ground (GND) and relay panel
contact 17 (permanent B+; terminal 30 from battery).
- If values are not as specified, rectify open circuit.

- Connect multimeter to terminal 2 of connector
and engine Ground (GND) for voltage
measurement.

- Operate starter briefly.

Specification: approx. battery voltage

Note:
Voltage is supplied to Mass Air Flow (MAF)
sensor from Fuel Pump (FP) relay.
If there is no 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.

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)

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.
