Important note:
After re-connecting the Engine Control Module (ECM), the following work
steps must be performed:
- Check DTC memory and erase it if necessary Page 01
-15
.
- Perform adaptation of the Throttle Valve Control Module -J338- Page

-142
.
Note:
In the first adaptation phase during engine basic setting, it is possible that
idle will be rough and vehicle may shake lightly in drive mode. - Connect VAG1598/31 test box to connector of wiring harness. Ground
(GND) clip at test box (not visible in illustration) must be connected to
Ground (GND). Relevant test procedures note whether Engine Control

During basic setting, the Evaporative Emission
(EVAP) canister purge regulator valve (EVAP
valve -N80-) is closed and the A/C compressor
is switched off

Test sequence

- Check DTC Memory Page 01

. There must
not be any DTCs stored, repair malfunctions if
necessary, erase DTC memory, switch engine
off and start again, road test vehicle and check
DTC memory again as a control measure.

- Let engine continue to run at idle.

Notes:

Engine speed in display field 1 (actual engine
speed) is the current engine speed.
Engine speed in display field 2 (specified
engine speed) is a theoretical engine speed
calculated by the ECM.
At idle, the ECM always attempts to adapt the
engine speed (actual) to the specified engine
speed (specified).
This means that the engine speed (actual) must
always approximately match the engine speed
(specified) at idle.
Display fields 3 and 4 provide information, but
are not relevant for checking idle speed.
If specified value is obtained:

-
Press button.
