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.

Component location Overview of component
locations Page 24

Voltage is supplied to the Fuel Pump (FP) and
several components of the injection system via
the Fuel Pump (FP) relay -J17-.
Engine must be turning for Fuel Pump (FP) relay
-J17- to close. This means that the relay does
not receive Ground (GND) (via ECM) until the
ECM recognizes RPM signals.

Test requirement:

Battery voltage at least 12.7 V

Function test of Fuel Pump (FP) relay

- Remove driver-side storage compartment.
