CAN-Bus, Checking Terminal Resistance







CAN-Bus, Checking Terminal Resistance

Function

Control module for Diesel-Direct fuel injection system communicates with other CAN-Bus capable control modules.

These databus-capable components are connected via two data bus wires which are twisted together (CAN_High and CAN_Low), and exchange information (messages). Missing information on the databus is recognized as a malfunction and stored.

Trouble-free operation of the CAN-Bus requires that it have a terminal resistance. This central terminal resistor is located in the Engine Control Module (ECM).

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Multimeter (VAG1526) or Multimeter (VAG1715)

Connector test kit (VAG1594)

Wiring diagram

Test Prerequisite

Ignition is switched off.

Test Sequence

- Remove cover -D- for plenum chamber, right side.





- Disengage and disconnect connector - A - of the corresponding Engine Control Module (ECM):





Cylinder bank 1: Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) (- 1 -).

Cylinder bank 2: Engine Control Module 2 (J624) (- 2 -).

Cylinder bank 1 is located in direction of travel, right.

Cylinder bank 2 is located in direction of travel, left.

- Connect adapter cable ( (VAG1598/39-2)) to test box ( (VAG1598/42)).

- Connect test box to the corresponding Engine Control Module (ECM). During this, wiring harness to Engine Control Module (ECM) is not connected.

- Check the central termination resistor at the Engine Control Modules (ECM):

- To do this, measure resistance between test box

sockets 66 +89.

Specified value: 115 to 135 ohms

Resistance Value in Range

- Connect adapter cable ( (VAG1598/39-1)) to test box ( (VAG1598/42)).

- Connect test box to the corresponding Engine Control Module (ECM). During this, wiring harness to Engine Control Module (ECM) is not connected.

- Then, measure resistance between test box

sockets 54 +55.

Specified value: 115 to 135 ohms

Resistance Value not in Range

- Replace corresponding Engine Control Module (ECM) => [ Engine Control Modules, Replacing ] Engine Control Modules, Replacing.

Resistance Values in Specified Range

- Eliminate malfunction in Data-Bus wires or in other Data-Bus components according to wiring diagram:
