- Perform test step 29
1) The Tiptronic Switch -F189- receives its tiptronic gate recognition information or tiptronic up- and down-shift information via
the large magnet which is mounted on the lateral gate cover of the gate cover. If the switch has become detached, the gate
cover must be replaced.

Wiring between transmission and 88-pin
connector for Transmission Control
Module (TCM) -J217-, testing


Perform if:

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) or
Electrical test indicates malfunctions in the
transmission, the TCM -J217-, or in the
corresponding wiring.

Test conditions
Ignition switched off
Connect VAG1598/20 adapter only to 88-pin
connector of transmission wiring harness.
Perform measurements with VAG1598/20
adapter on the outside of the vehicle

- Remove noise insulation panel.
- Remove bracket -1- for noise insulation panel.
