Notes
Note:^ For testing use multimeter Fluke 83 and test wires from kit V.A.G 1594.
^ The specification given are valid for ambient temperature between 10°C (50°F) to 40°C (104°F).
^ If measured values differ from specified values, find cause using the applicable wiring diagram and make necessary repairs.
^ If measured values differ only slightly from the specified values, clean sockets and connectors of the testers and then repeat test. Before replacing any components check all wiring and connectors. Especially when resistance is less than 10 Q. repeat resistor test at component.
^ To connect testers, use test box V.A. G 1598120.
^ The pin numbers of the connectors correspond with the socket numbers of test box V.A.G 1598120.
CAUTION: To prevent damage or destruction of electronic components, adjust tester to the appropriate testing range before connecting tester.
Test requirements:
^ Battery voltage OK
^ Fuses for Transmission Control Module OK
^ Fuses for the component to be tested OK
^ Ground connection OK:
Check battery Ground cable between body and transmission.
Check ground connections for transmission control module
- Switch off ignition for all test procedures. Disconnect multi-pin connector for Transmission Control Module-J217 (The control module is located in front of the passenger's seat under the footwell carpet). Connect test box V.A.G 1598/20 to harness connector.
- If measured values are different from specifications, follow instructions in test tables.
- Perform all work procedures indicated in column "Corrective action".
- Perform only work procedures listed.
