Continuation




- Separate 4-pin connector -2- (brown) to HO2S 2 -G 108- (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 Obtained:
- 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.
- Set multimeter 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.
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.




- 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 1.0-14.5 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 -J220-.
- Read the readiness code. If DTC memory has been erased, repair must be verified via appropriate display group, Readiness code, creating.
