CAUTION: Select the appropriate measuring range on the multimeter before connecting the test leads to avoid damaging the electronic components.

NOTE:
- Use the digital multimeter Fluke 83 with auxiliary harness from VAG 1594 for testing.

- The specified values are valid for ambient temperatures from 0 - 40°C (32 - 104°F).

- If the readings obtained differ from the specified values, determine the malfunction using the wiring diagram.

- If the readings obtained differ only slightly from the specified values, clean sockets and connectors of the testers and test leads and repeat test.

- Before replacing the particular component(s), test wiring and connections, and if specified values are below 10 ohms, repeat resistance measurements on components.

- The ground connection point is located on the left next to the relay plate.

- Check battery ground strap and ground strap between battery and transmission.

- The Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217- is located under the rear seat.
