- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.

- Using a multimeter, check the Charge Air Cooling Pump (V188) electrical connector terminals to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical connector T94.






Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.

If the specification is not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in wiring:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.
