• When servicing electrical harness connector terminals for the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S), use only gold-plated terminals.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
• Fuse (on fuse panel) (S243) OK.
• Fuel Pump (FP) Relay (J17) OK.
• Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.
• All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.
• Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position " P" or "N".
• A/C switched off.
• Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.
• Ignition switched off.
Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Start diagnosis
- Remove the engine cover with air filter. Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information
Checking internal resistance
- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39 ) electrical harness connector - 2 -.
- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) terminals 3 to 4 for an open circuit.
Specified value: 2.5 to 10.0 ohms (at approx. 20° C)
If the specification was not obtained:
- Replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39).
If the specification was obtained:
Checking voltage supply
- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) electrical harness connector terminal 4 to ground (GND) for voltage.
- Turn key on.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39) electrical harness connector terminal 3 to the Fuel Pump (FP) Relay (J17) socket 23/87 for an open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specification was obtained:
Checking Ground (GND) activation
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
- Install the test box (VAG1598/31). Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) ( J220). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Engine Control Module, Replacing.
- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) electrical harness connector to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J220) electrical harness connector for resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:
- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
- End diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J220). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Engine Control Module, Replacing.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
End of diagnosis
