Electrical testing


If the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) sequence
does not provide any indication of the source of
the malfunction, work through all of the
electrical test steps.
If the OBD sequence identifies the source of the
malfunction, only carry out the test steps
recommended in the DTC table (specific
testing).

Test requirements
The "Automatic Test Sequence" was carried
out and it was determined that the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) and
Engine Control Module (ECM) only contain
DTCs relating to ABS.

- Connect the VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST) and
select the address word 00 with ignition
switched on;

- After completing electrical test, check and
erase DTC memories of Transmission Control
Module (TCM) and Engine Control Module
(ECM).

Note:
The operation manual for the VAS1978 wiring harness repair kit generally
forbids the repair of any lines in the ABS or related systems. This rule only
pertains to the shielded lines in these systems.
Multi-pin harness connector for ABS control module -J104- in proper
condition, with no bent, broken or corroded terminals. Replace any
damaged terminals using VAS1978 wiring repair kit. Ignition and electrical consumers switched off before beginning
testing (headlights, lighting, fan, etc.). For steps 13 through 16, raise the vehicle until the wheels rotate
freely. On vehicles with manual transmission put the gear shift lever in
neutral. On vehicles with automatic transmission move the selector
lever to position "N".
