Throttle valve control module power 
supply, checking
 
    
If voltage is NOT OK:  -  Disconnect 8-pin harness connector from throttle valve control module 
-J338-. 
-  Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between harness 
connector terminals using adapter cables from VW 1594 connector test 
kit. 
-  Switch ignition on, and check voltage. Specified values:
 
Connector terminals 3 and 7 (Ground): 9.0-14.5 volts
 Connector terminals 4 and 7 (Ground): 4.0-6.0 volts
-  Switch ignition off.
