2000 AUDI A4 light

01-303

Note:
The operation manual for the VAS1978 wiring
harness repair kit generally forbids the repair of
any lines in the ABS or related systems. This rule
only pertains to the shielded lines in these
systems.

Ignition and electrical consumers switched
off before beginning testing (headlights,
lighting, fan, etc.).
For steps 13 through 16, raise the vehicle
until the wheels rotate freely. On vehicles
with manual transmission put the gear shift
lever in neutral. On vehicles with automatic
transmission move the selector lever to
position "N".

Notes:
For test table

The socket designations of the VAG1598 test box are identical to the terminal designations of the ABS control module
(w/EDL) -J104- in the wiring diagram. Incorrect test procedures can cause damage to the system. Do not bridge any
terminals other than those listed in the table.
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations Specified values refer to readings on the VAG1526 and are not necessarily applicable for other test units.
If the measured values do not match specifications, carry out the corrective actions listed on the right side of the table.
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations If values are obtained, also check wiring for intermittent loose terminals and short circuit to B+ and Ground (GND). This
applies especially to sporadic malfunctions.
Use the VAG1594 connector test kit for checking continuity (bridges).
If the measured values only differ slightly from the specifications, clean the sockets and harness connectors of the testers
and adapter leads (using contact spray G 000 700 04) and repeat the test. Before replacing actual components, check
wiring and connections once more. This is especially important if the specification for a resistance test is under 10 .

- The ABS warning lamp does not switch off after 2
seconds. The red "brake system malfunction" symbol
lights up after 2 seconds. Check wire from terminal 32
of ABS control module -J104- to instrument cluster for
short circuit to B+ or open circuit.
- If voltage of electrical system is OK and wiring from
terminal 32 of ABS control module -J104- to instrument
cluster is intact there is a malfunction in instrument
cluster.
