- Depress gas pedal completely (swiftly) and then
release it (brief acceleration).


Specified value in display field 4: Indication
jumps for a few seconds from "Compr. ON"
to "Compr. OFF" (compressor is switched off
when vehicle accelerates).
If indications do not resemble description:

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

Wire for crash signal, checking

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the
crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from
the airbag control module.
When the airbag control module sends the crash
signal to the ECM (during an accident or when
output DTM is being performed for the airbag
system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP)
off. This means that the engine will stop running
but can be started again afterward (e.g. to
remove vehicle from danger).

to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect

and short circuit to Ground (GND) and B+:

Consumption signal for board
computer, checking


Note:

The consumption signal is calculated by the
ECM from the injection time and directed to the
board computer via terminal 81 of the ECM.

Wire for fuel level signal, checking


Note:

The signal helps with cause localization when
certain malfunctions are recognized (e.g.
combustion misfires).
The processed signal enters at terminal 30 of
the ECM and is used to determine the cause of
certain recognized malfunctions (e.g.
combustion misfires).

Signal for rough terrain recognition,
checking


Note:

When the ABS/EDL control module recognizes
that a wheel is spinning, the ABS/EDL control
module generates the rough terrain signal.
When the Engine Control Module (ECM)
recognizes the rough terrain signal, combustion
misfire recognition is switched off in the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
Only check the rough terrain signal if the
malfunction "18014 (P1606) rough terrain
info/engine torque from ABS cont. mod.
Electrical malfunction in circuit" is stored DTC
memory. It is possible that the malfunction
"Combustion misfire" is also stored in DTC
memory as a side effect and it can be
disregarded.
The wire connection and rough terrain signal
are monitored by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
