If the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
appears on the VAG1551 scan tool display but
not by the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
gauge, the instrument cluster is faulty and must
be replaced.
If no Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is
indicated on the VAG1551 scan tool display, the
signal must be checked at multi-function
connection at instrument cluster.

- Measure resistance (sensor resistance) between
terminal 8 and 7 using VAG1526 multimeter.
Specified values:

Coolant temperature 120 C: approx. 50 Ohm If the specified values are not reached, the wire
connection to Engine Coolant Temperature
(ECT) -G2- must be checked.
- Check wire connection according to wiring
diagram.
