Read measuring value block 7 ->
15.4 °C 15.9 °C 16.7 °C
- If an un-realistic value appears in display zone 1, or a substitute temperature of -5.4 °C is displayed, check the Fuel temperature sensor and wiring to sensor as follows:
- Press -> button.
- Press 0 and 6 buttons to select Function 06: "End transfer"
- Press Q button to enter input
- Switch OFF ignition.
- Disconnect 10-pin Fuel temperature sensor harness connector
- connection to injection pump metering control
- Measure sensor resistance at terminals 4 + 7
- Specification: correlate resistance measurement with chart
NOTE: Scale A shows resistance values for range 0 to 50 °C and scale B shows the values for range 50 to 100 °C.
Examples:
- 30 °C corresponds to a resistance from 1500 to 2000 Ohms
- 80 °C corresponds to a resistance from 275 to 375 Ohms
If specification not obtained
- Replace injection pump. Service and Repair
If DTC memory has been erased
- Create Readiness code. Testing and Inspection
If specification obtained
- Connect VAG 1598/22 Test Box to ECM wiring harness.
- Check wiring for open circuit between Test Box and harness connector using Wiring diagram.
- Terminal 7 + socket 53
- Terminal 4 + socket 76
- Wire resistance: max. 1.5 Ohms
- Check wires for short to one another, to vehicle Ground and to battery Plus.
- Specification: Infinity Ohms
If wiring OK
- Replace Diesel direct injection system ECM J248.
