Checking Throttle Valve Drive And Throttle Valve Drive Angle Sensor

Test conditions
Coolant temperature must be at least 85 degree C, see display group 04, display zone 3.

Test sequence
- Connect VAG 1551 Scan Tool ((VAG 1552). Start engine and select "Address word" 01 of engine control module. When doing this engine must be running at idle speed

- Press keys 0 and 8 for function "Read Measuring Value Block" and confirm entry with Q key.

Indicated on display:

Read Measuring Value Block HELP
Input display group number XXX

- Press keys 0, 6 and 0 for "Display group number 60" and confirm entry with Q key.

Indicated on display: (1 to 4 = Display zones)

Read Measuring Value Block 60 ->
1 2 3 4

- Check the operating mode in display zone 3:
Idle speed
- Check throttle valve angle in at idling stop in display zone 1
Specification: 0 to 6 angle degree
- Check throttle valve positioner at idling stop in display zone 2.
Specification: 60 to 90%

If the specifications are not attained:
- Press -> key.
- Press keys 0 and 6 for "End data transfer" function and confirm input with Q key.
- Switch ignition off.







- Pull 8 pin connector off throttle valve control module.
- Measure resistance of throttle valve positioner between following contacts:
Contact 1 + 2
Specification: 3 to 200 Ohm

If the specification is not obtained:
- Replace throttle valve control module -J338-.

If the specification is obtained:
- Check voltage supply of throttle valve control module and wiring to control module.

Checking voltage supply and wiring to control module







- Pull 8 pin connector off throttle valve control module.
- Connect multimeter to measure voltage at connector contacts 4+7.
- Switch ignition on.
Specification: min. 4.5 V
- Connect multimeter to measure voltage at connector contacts 3+7.
Specification: at least 9 V
- Switch ignition off.

If the specifications are not attained:







- Connect test box VAG 1598/22 to control module wiring harness.







- Check wiring for open circuit between test box and connector using wiring diagram:
Contact 1 + socket 66
Contact 2 + socket 59
Contact 3 + socket 69
Contact 4 + socket 62
Contact 5 + socket 75
Contact 7 + socket 67
Contact 8 + socket 74
Wire resistance: max. 1.5 Ohm
- Check additional wires for short to one another.
Specification: Infinite Ohm

If no wiring malfunction is detected:
- Check engine control module voltage supply. Voltage Supply For Engine Control Module (ECM), Checking
