- Multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent)
- VW 1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagram

Checking
- Disconnect 3-pin harness connector from engine speed sensor.
- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector.Connecting VAG 1598/22 Test Box







- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector.
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 63
- Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 56
- Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms

- Check wiring for short circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 63
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 56
- Specified value: Infinity Ohms

If wiring is OK:
- Replace engine speed (RPM) sensor -G28-.
- Check readiness code.If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate new readiness code.
