Checking activation

Test requirement:

Internal resistance of valve OK

- Slide back rubber grommet of fuel injector
connector, but leave connector connected.

Note:
Voltage testers do not go out completely during low current pick-up
between activations by the ECM, but rather continue to glow a little and
then get slightly brighter during activation. - Connect VAG1527B voltage tester between sockets 2 (signal) and 1
(B+).
- Operate starter briefly (engine can also start).

LED must blink.

Test sequence

- Remove fuel distributor including fuel injectors
from intake manifold Page 24

. Fuel lines
remain connected.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect

.

Checking Proper Seal

- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires
from VAG1594A adapter test kit.

- Switch ignition on.


Fuel Pump (FP) must run.

- Check proper seal of fuel injectors (visual
inspection). With Fuel Pump (FP) running, only 1
to 2 drops per minute may drip out per injector.

-
If fuel loss is greater, stop Fuel Pump (FP) from

Checking Injection Quantity

- Insert fuel injector to be tested in a measuring
glass from VAG1602 injection quantity test
device.

- Connect one terminal of fuel injector to engine Ground (GND) using an
adapter cable and an alligator clip from VAG1594A connector test kit.
- Connect second terminal of fuel injector to B+ using VAG1348/3A
remote control, VAG1348/3-2 adapter cable and assisting cable.
- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires from VAG1594A
adapter test kit.
- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using wires from VAG1594A
adapter test kit.
- Switch ignition on.

Fuel Pump (FP) must run.
- Activate VAG1348/3A remote control for 30 seconds.
- Perform measurement on all fuel injectors.
