Intake Manifold Change-Over Valve -N156-, Checking

Checking Intake manifold change-over valve electrically
- Disconnect connector from Intake Manifold Change-Over Valve -N156-.






- Perform a resistance measurement between the valve terminals using V.A.G 1526.
Specified value: 25 to 35 Ohms

If specified value is not obtained.
- Replace Intake Manifold Change-Over Valve -N156-.

If specified value is obtained.
- Check voltage supply.

Checking voltage supply of Intake Manifold Change-Over Valve







- Connect V.A.G 1527 voltage test lamp between connector terminal 2 and engine Ground (GND) using adapter cables from V.A.G 1594 connector test kit.
- Switch ignition on.

LED must light up.
- LED does not light up.
- Check fuse for intake manifold change-over valve (relay- and fuse holder in instrument panel, right side).

If fuse is OK.
- Check wire connection from terminal 2 of connector for intake manifold change-over valve via fuse to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay -J271- (relay carrier in E-box in plenum chamber) for open circuit/short circuit.

If voltage supply is OK, check wire connection.

Checking wire connection from Intake Manifold Change-Over Valve
- Connect V.A.G 1598/31 test box to wiring harness of Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Check the following wire connection for open circuit/short circuit:
