Electronic Throttle Actuator Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Throttle drive and angle sensor for throttle drive, checking
NOTE: Throttle drive -G186- and angle sensor -1- for throttle drive -G187- are located in the throttle valve control module -J338-.
Test conditions
- Throttle valve in closed throttle position; if necessary adjust accelerator pedal cable
- Cruise control adjustment OK.
- Power supply for throttle valve control module OK; checking Testing and Inspection
- Engine coolant temperature at least 80° C (176° F)
- Automatic transmission selector lever in "P" or "N"
Checking
- Connect VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 scan tool and press buttons -0- and -1- to insert "Engine Electronics" address word 01 (with engine running at idle).Refer to "Scan tool Testing/Scan Tool Connecting and Initial Checks/Connecting VAG 1551/VAG 1552 Scan Tool" Testing and Inspection

- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector.Refer to "Scan Tool Testing/Scan Tool Connecting and Initial Checks/Connecting VAG 1598/22 Test Box" Testing and Inspection
- Switch ignition on.
- With throttle valve in closed throttle position, connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent), and check resistance between ECM/test box sockets 59 and 66.
Specified value: 3-200 Ohms
If resistance is NOT OK:
- Disconnect 8-pin harness connector from throttle valve control module -J338-.
- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 8-pin throttle valve control module harness connector.
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 66
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 59
- Connector terminal 7 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 8 to ECM/test box socket 74
- Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms
- Check wiring of 8-pin connector for short circuit between wires, according to wiring diagram.
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 59
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 74
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 74
- Connector terminal 7 to ECM/test box socket 74
- Specified value: Infinity Ohms
If wiring is OK:
- 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.
