Continuation
- Disconnect 4-pin connector -1- (brown) for Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39-.
- Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between HO2S connector terminals 1 and 2, using VW 1594 connector test kit.
- Measure resistance.
Specified value: 0.0 - 19.9 Ohms
If resistance is NOT OK:
- Replace Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39-
If resistance is OK:
- Switch multimeter to 20 VDC measuring range.
- Connect multimeter between harness connector terminals 1 and 2 (to ECM), using VW 1594 connector test kit.
- Measure voltage supply and check display in display group 41, display field 2.
If display = Htg.bC.ON:
- Specified value: 11.0 - 14.5 volts
If display switches between "Htg.bC.ON" and "Htg.bC.OFF:"
- Specified value: 0.0 - 12.0 volts (oscillating)
If there is no voltage:
- Connect multimeter between harness connector terminal 1 (to ECM) and vehicle Ground, using VW 1594 connector test kit.
Specified value: 11.0 - 14.5 volts
If there is still no voltage:
- Check wiring between terminal 1 and relay panel using appropriate wiring diagram.
If there is voltage:
- Connect multimeter between harness connector terminal 2 (to ECM) and Battery Positive Voltage (B+), using VW 1594 connector test kit.
- Measure voltage supply and check display in display group 41, display field 2.
If display = Htg.bC.ON:
- Specified value: 11.0 - 14.5 volts
If display switches between "Htg.bC.ON" and "Htg.bC.OFF:"
- Specified value: 0.0 - 12.0 volts (oscillating)
- Switch ignition off.
If there is no voltage:
- 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 4-pin HO2S harness connector (to ECM).
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 27
- Specified value: max.1.5 Ohms
If wiring is OK:
- Replace Motronic ECM -J220-
- Initiate adaptation of throttle valve control module to ECM.
- Check readiness code. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate new readiness code.
