Checking voltage supply

If there is no voltage:
Checking wiring - Disconnect 3-pin harness connector from Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF).
- Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between harness
connector terminals 2 (Ground) and 3 (B+), using adapter cables from
VW1594 connector test kit.
Specified value: 9.0-14.5 volts
- Switch ignition off.
- Check wiring using applicable wiring diagram.
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector page 01
-
