Connecting VAG 1598/31 Test Box
Wiring and components, checking with VAG 1598/31 test box
NOTE:
- The VAG1598/31 test box is designed so it can be simultaneously connected to the control module wiring harness and to the control module itself.
- This has the advantage of enabling the engine management system to remain fully operational even with the test box connected (for example, when testing signals while the engine is running).
- The instructions for performing the individual tests indicate whether or not the engine control module itself also needs to be connected to the test box.
- Use the multimeter VAG 1526 or the multimeter VAG 1715 and the diode test lamp VAG 1527 for the checks.
- To connect the testers to VAG1598/31 test box, always use the adapter leads from VAG 1594 connector test kit.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the electronic components, switch to the respective measuring range before connecting the measuring cable and observe the test requirements.
