Intake Flap Motor, Checking

Intake Flap Motor, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• Fuses of Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) J 248 must be OK.





• The ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ General Diagnosis ] General Diagnosis.

Start diagnosis

- Disconnect the Intake Flap Motor (V157) electrical harness connector.





Checking voltage

- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a Multimeter, measure voltage supply between connector terminals 1 to 2 for voltage.





Specified value: approx. 5 V.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

- Install the test box. Refer to => [ 68-Pin Test Box Adapter, VAG1598/19, Installing ] Diesel Direct Fuel Injection ECM, Checking.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

- Remove the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) (J248). Refer to => [ Diesel Direct Fuel Injection ECM, Replacing ] Diesel Direct Fuel Injection ECM, Checking.

- Using a Multimeter, check the Intake Flap Motor (V157) electrical harness connector terminal to the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) (J248) electrical harness connector T60 terminal for resistance.









Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

- Replace the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) (J248). Refer to => [ Diesel Direct Fuel Injection ECM, Replacing ] Diesel Direct Fuel Injection ECM, Checking.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
