- Check resistance value for O2S heating (after three way catalytic converter) in display field 3:
- Press -> button.
- Press buttons -0- and -6- to select "End Output" function 06 and press -Q- button to confirm input.
- Switch ignition off.
Relevance of values in 8-digit number block
- Separate 4-pin connector -2- (brown) to HO2S 2 -G108- (after three way catalytic converter).
- Connect multimeter with test leads from VW 1594 to measure resistance at terminals 1 and 2 on connector to HO2S 2.
- Measure the resistance value.
Specification: 0.00-24.2 Ohms
If the specification is not attained:
- Replace HO2S 2 -G108- (after three way catalytic converter).
If the specification is attained:
- Check relevance table for value of O2S control status, display group 121, display field 4, 1st position from left. Refer to "Heated Oxygen Sensor and Oxygen Sensor Control, Checking/After Three Way Catalytic Converter". After Three Way Catalytic Converter
- Set multimeter to voltage measurement range.
- Connect multimeter with test leads from VW 1594 to measure voltage between terminals 1 and 2 (ECM side of harness connector).
- Measure the voltage supply.
When display = 1: specification is 11.0-14.5 volts
When display = alternately 0 and 1: specification is fluctuating between 0.0-12.0 volts
If no voltage is present:
- Connect multimeter using test leads from VW 1594 to measure voltage between terminal 1 (ECM side) and vehicle Ground (GND).
Specification: 11.0-14.5 volts
If again no voltage is present:
- Check the wiring from terminal 1 to relay panel according to wiring diagram.
If voltage was present:
- Check relevance table for value of O2S control status, display group 121, display field 4, 1st position from left. Refer to "Heated Oxygen Sensor and Oxygen Sensor Control, Checking/After Three Way Catalytic Converter". After Three Way Catalytic Converter
- Connect multimeter with test leads from VW 1594 between terminal 2 (ECM side of harness connector) and battery positive (B+).
- Measure the voltage supply.
When display 1: specification is 11.0-14.5 volts
When display = alternately 0 and 1: specification is fluctuating between 0.0-12.0 volts
- Switch ignition off.
If the specification is not attained:
- Connect VAG 1598/18 test box to ECM wiring harness.
- Check wiring between test box and 4-pin connector for open circuit according to wiring diagram.
Terminal 2 and test box socket 66
Resistance.. maximum 1.5 Ohms
If no wiring malfunction is detected:
- Replace Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-.
- Read the readiness code. If DTC memory has been erased, repair must be verified via appropriate display group see Readiness code, creating. Refer to "On-Board Diagnostics II With VAG 1551". Testing and Inspection
