Recommended special tools and equipment
- VAG1526 multimeter or VAG1715 multimeter
- VAG1594 connector test kit
- Wiring diagram
Test requirements
- The respective fuses of Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor - V101- must be OK.
- Fuel Pump (FP) Relay -J17- must be OK, check.
- Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Relay -J299- must be OK, check.
- Battery voltage must be at least 11.5 volts.
- All electrical consumers like, for example, lights and rear window heating must be switched off.
- Ignition switched off.
Test sequence
- Remove front noise insulation.
- Disconnect 2-pin connector -1- from Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101- (-2-).
- Disconnect pressure hose (arrow) between Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor and connecting line.
NOTE: To disengage, compress the buttons at the hose coupling.
- Connect Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor to the B+ and Ground (GND) terminals of the battery using the respective adapter cables.
The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor must start up and air must escape at compressed-air connection (arrow).
If the motor does not start up, or no air or only very little air escapes:
- Disconnect connection between Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor and battery.
- Replace Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor -V101-.
- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM), Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data. Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data
- Generate readiness code. Readiness Code, Generating
If motor starts, and air escapes:
- Disconnect connection between Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor and battery.
- Pull off rubber seal of plenum chamber cover in direction of arrow.
- Remove cover -1- toward front.
- Remove securing screws at cover of protective housing for control modules -arrows- and remove cover.
- Remove Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump relay (arrow) from relay carrier in protective housing for control modules.
NOTE:
- Remove battery Ground (GND) strap if tools are necessary for removal of relays or control modules from the relay carrier.
- Obtain radio code for radios with anti-theft coding before disconnecting battery.
- Check wire between terminal 2 of relay carrier (arrow) and terminal 1 of 2-pin connector of Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Pump Motor for open circuit according to wiring diagram.
Wire resistance: max: 1.5 Ohm
- Also check the wire for short circuit to B+ and Ground (GND).
Specified value: Infinite Ohm
- Check wire between 2-pin connector terminal 2 and Ground (GND) for open circuit according to wiring diagram.
Wire resistance: max: 1.5 Ohm
If no malfunctions are found in wires:
- Replace Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-.
