- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector.
- Connect multimeter US119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) and check resistance between test box sockets 67and 69.
Specified value: max. 5.0 Ohms
- Open throttle slowly.
Specified value: infinity Ohms

If resistance is NOT OK:





- Disconnect 8-pin harness connector for throttle valve control module -J338-.
- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 8-pin harness connector.
- Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 69
- Connector terminal 7 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms

- Check wiring for short circuit between ECM/test box and 8-pin harness connector.
- Connector terminal 7 to ECM/test box socket 69
- Specified value: infinity Ohms
- Reconnect throttle valve control module harness connector.

If wiring is OK:
- Replace throttle valve control module -J338-.
- Carry out 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.
