Crash signal, checking

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the
crash signal ("Crash shut-down activated") from
the airbag control module.
If the airbag control module sends the crash
signal to the ECM (if an accident occurred or if a
output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) was carried
out), the ECM shuts off the fuel pump, that
means the engine stalls, however, afterwards the
engine can be started again (e.g. when removing
the vehicle from the accident area)
The ECM cannot switch off the fuel pump during
an accident if the malfunction "Crash Signal from
Airbag Control Unit/Range Performance" from
the airbag control module is sent to ECM. The
engine control module cannot recognize the
crash signal from the airbag control module; e.g.:
if the wiring between the ECM and the airbag
control module is faulty.

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

Signal for rough road recognition from
ABS/EDL control module, checking


Note:

The ABS/EDL control module generates the
rough road signal if it recognizes wheel spin on
a wheel. The Engine Control Module (ECM)
switches off the misfire recognition once the
rough road signal is recognized by the ECM.
The rough road signal should only be checked if
the malfunction (P1606) 18014 "Rough Road
Spec Engine Torque ABS-ECU/Electrical
Malfunction" is stored in the DTC memory. It is
possible that the malfunction "Misfiring" is also
stored in DTC memory, however this is then a
sequence error and should be ignored.
The wiring and the rough road signal is
monitored by the ECM.
