Oxygen sensor heater for oxygen
sensor, checking


Note:
The oxygen sensor heating circuit is monitored
by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD). Check DTC
memory Page 01-15
.

- Connect vehicle diagnostic, testing and
information system VAS5051 or VAG1551 scan
tool and select engine electronics control
module by entering address word "01" Page

Checking voltage supply for oxygen sensor
heater
Component location of 4-pin harness connector
of oxygen sensors Page 24
-5 .

- Check fuse for oxygen sensor heater

Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting &
Component Locations
- Disconnect 4-pin harness connector of particular
oxygen sensor.

If there is no voltage reading: - Connect hand-held multimeter (voltage measurement range) between
sockets 1 (B+) and 2 (Ground (GND)) using test leads from VAG1594
connector test kit.
- Operate starter briefly.
Specified value: approx. battery voltage
- Connect hand-held multimeter (voltage measurement range) between
socket 1 (B+) and vehicle Ground (GND) using test leads from
VAG1594 connector test kit.

- Start engine.

Specified value: approx. battery voltage
(fluctuating)

Note:
At certain points in the operating range the
engine control module continuously "switches"
the Ground (GND) connection to the oxygen
sensor heater. That means, it repeatedly
connects and disconnects the Ground (GND)
connection at these points. For this reason the
voltage reading on the tester may fluctuate.

- Switch ignition off.
If there is no voltage reading:

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness
for engine control module. Do not connect to the
engine control module itself Page 24
-20
.

- Check for open circuits in the following wiring connection:

If the wiring is OK but the oxygen sensor heater
still has no Ground (GND) connection:

- Replace particular oxygen sensor.

- Display readiness code Page 01

. The
readiness code must be generated if the DTC
memory was erased Page 01
