Coolant temperature sensor with oval
connector:

All models:
Range A shows the resistance values for the temperature range from 0-
50 C, and range B shows the values for the temperature range from 50-
100 C. - Connect multimeter between terminal C and D of sensor for resistance
measurement.

Read-out examples:
If specified value is not obtained:
30 C corresponds to a resistance of 1500 to 2000 80 C corresponds to a resistance of 275 to 375
- Replace coolant temperature sensor.

Knock recognition control stop,
checking

If a DTC is stored regarding "Knock control
regulation limit reached":

- Perform following tests:

Possible cause
Corrective action
DTC for all cylinders

Poor fuel quality
Operating instructions - Change fuel quality
or
Cylinder 1/2 or 3/4
Knock sensor tightened to incorrect torque- Loosen knock sensors and tighten to 20 Nm

Knock sensor faulty- Check knock sensor Page 28
-41


Corrosion at harness connector- Check harness connector

Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories
DTC for one Cylinder
Engine damage- Check compression pressure

Engine accessories loose- Secure engine accessories

Note:

Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- and Knock Sensor
(KS) 2 -G66- themselves cannot be electrically
tested.
Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing
harness connector for knock sensors.
For the knock sensors to function properly, it is
important that tightening torque be exactly 20
Nm.
Check harness connector from knock sensor to
wiring harness for corrosion.

Checking knock sensor wiring

- Disconnect harness connector for Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- (item no.
5) or Knock Sensor (KS) 2 -G66- (item no. 4) in engine compartment.

Check wires from knock sensors to Engine Control Module (ECM). - Check all three terminals at knock sensor connector for short circuit to
each other (terminal 1+2, 1+3, 2+3).

Specification: (no continuity) - the wires must not have any
connection to each other
- If there is no connection , replace knock sensor.
- If no short circuit is detected, check knock sensor wires:
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to Engine Control
Module (ECM), do not connect ECM Page 24
-19
.
- Check following wire connections for open circuit and short circuit to
Ground (GND) and B+:
