Location of automatic Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217-

The control module is located in front of the right front seat under the carpet in the foot well.





Automatic Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217-, removing and installing

Removing

- Remove lower right A-pillar trim and right front door sill trim.
- Detach carpeting from right inside door sill, and raise carpeting approx. 20 cm.
- Unclip box at -A- by pulling it upward.
- Unclip box at -B- as shown.





- Unclip TCM from box (arrows).
- Release catch on multi-pin connector and disconnect connector from TCM.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal, with the following additional steps:





- Check that clip nut -1- is properly secured.





TCM -J217-, disconnecting

- Switch ignition off and wait approx. 30 seconds.
- Release connector by pressing catch in direction of arrow.

Connect in reverse order of disconnecting.





Engine Control Module (ECM)

Location: in electronics box (E-box) in plenum chamber (left side).





Data Link Connector (DLC)

Location: Up to m. y. 2000, the Data Link Connector (DLC) is located under the rear ashtray (center console).





As of m. y. 2001, the DLC is located under the kneebar left of the steering wheel.

- Connect VAS 5051 tester with VAS 5051/1 diagnostic wire, or connect V.A.G 1551 Scan Tool with VAG 1551/3 adapter.
- Enter address word "02 transmission electronics" and continue switching until "selecting function XV appears on display.





Valve body

Location: The valve body is bolted to the underside of the transmission housing inside the oil pan.

The Solenoid Valves -N88-, -N89-, -N90-, -N91-, -N92-, -N93- and -N94- are attached to the valve body. The solenoid valves -N91-, -N92-, -N93- and -N94- are also referred to as pressure control valves 1 (-N215-), 2 (-N216-), 3 (-N217-) and 4 (-N218-).

Removing and installing

There are two types of transmissions:

^ For transmissions with hydraulic regulation -E17-, the transmission input speed sensor (inductive sensor) is secured to the underside of the valve body.

^ For transmissions with hydraulic regulation -E18/2-, the transmission input speed sensor (camshaft position sensor) is secured behind valve body at transmission housing.





Wiring harness with integrated Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor -G93-

Location: The wiring harness is secured to the valve body.

The wiring harness can be removed with the valve body removed and the transmission installed.





Multi-function Transmission Range (TR) switch -F125-

Location: The multi-function switch -1- is located on left at transmission; Multi-pin connector for multi-function switch -arrow-.





Tiptronic switch -F189-

Installation location: The tiptronic switch is integrated into the conductor strip of the symbol insert in the cover of the shift mechanism.

Note:
This switch is not installed on shift mechanisms without tiptronic function.

The switch consists of 3 hall-effect sensors (-A-, -B-, -C- ), which are activated via a magnet on the lateral gate cover of the gate cover.

A - Sensor for down-shift
B - Sensor for Tiptronic-recognition
C - Sensor for up-shift

- If malfunctions occur, the switch for tiptronic must be checked for interference in Read measuring value block.





In case of problems, first check the magnet at the lateral gate cover -C- of the gate cover is properly attached, replace gate cover, if necessary. Only replace the symbol insert with integrated conductor strip after checking the wires. For vehicles with tiptronic-sport steering wheel, also check the buttons at steering wheel and their wire connections.





Transmission Vehicle Speed (VSS) Sensor -G38-

Location: The transmission vehicle speed sensor is located at right rear in the transmission. It is also referred to as the Sensor for Transmission Output RPM -G195-.





Sensor for Transmission RPM -G182-

Installation location:

On transmissions with hydraulic regulation -E17-, the Sensor for Transmission RPM is secured to the underside of the valve body (see illustration). For these transmissions the sensor is an inductive sensor.





On transmissions with hydraulic regulation -E182-, the transmission input speed sensor A- is secured behind the valve body at the transmission housing. On these transmissions the sensor is a hall effect sensor.





Shift Lever Lock Solenoid -N110-

The Shift Lever Lock Solenoid is located in the shift lever housing -arrow-.





Throttle Position (TP) Sensor -G69-

Location: integrated in Throttle Valve Control Module -J338- -arrow-.





Starting interlock relay -J207-

The relay is located on the central electric.





Transmission range selector lever display -Y6-

Located in instrument cluster





Kick-down switch -F8-

Engines without E-Gas:

The kick-down switch is integrated in the accelerator cable in the plenum chamber, behind bulkhead -arrow-.

Engines with E-gas:

The kick-down switch is integrated in the throttle position sensor and Sensor 2 for Accelerator Position (-G79-, -G185-).

A learning procedure must be performed for the shift point of the kick down switch for engines with E-gas. If the throttle position sensor (-G79-, -G185-) is removed, exchange the engine control module or disconnect the battery.

Kick-down switch, removing and installing

- To remove and install the kick down switch, the accelerator cable must be removed and installed and then adjusted or the throttle position sensor (38-G79-, -G185-) must be replaced.





Brake light switch -F-

The brake light switch -arrow- is located on the pedal cluster.

Note:
For engine with E-gas, the brake light signal is transmitted from the engine control module to the transmission control module via the CAN-Bus.
