 . If the suggested repair steps refer 
to the voltage supply test for the Mass Air Flow 
(MAF) sensor or the wiring connections from the 
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor to the Engine 
Control Module (ECM), proceed to the following 
pages. 
     Please note the distinction between sensors 
made by Bosch and those made by Hitachi 
(recognizable via the writing on the sensor).

Checking voltage supply to Mass Air Flow 
(MAF) sensor  
     
-  Disconnect harness connector from air mass 
meter. 
    
Note:  
The mass air flow sensor receives its voltage supply via the fuel pump 
relay. 
If the reading does not match the battery voltage:  
 Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations    -  Connect hand-held multimeter (voltage measurement range) between 
engine Ground (GND) and socket 2 of connector. 
-  Operate starter briefly. 
   Specification: approx. battery voltage
-  Check for open circuit or short to Ground (GND) in wiring between fuel 
pump relay and socket 2 on connector via fuse. Repair if necessary.

engine control module. 
If the specification is not attained:  -  Connect hand-held multimeter (voltage measurement range) between 
sockets 2 and 3 of connector. 
-  Operate starter briefly. 
   Specification: approx. battery voltage
- Check wiring   Page 24

 .
    
If the specification is not attained:  -  Connect hand-held multimeter (voltage measurement range) between 
sockets 3 and 4 of connector. 
-  Switch ignition on.

Checking wiring for mass air flow sensor  
     
Note:  
     The wiring test includes also testing the signal 
wire. 
     
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness 
for engine control module. Do not connect to the 
engine control module itself   Page 24
-20
 . 
    
-  Check for open circuit and short to B+ or Ground (GND) in the following 
wiring connections: Connector for MAF sensor -G70, 
socket

Air system for leaks (un-metered air), 
checking
 
     
Check with engine leak detector spray G 001 
800 A1  
     
CAUTION! 
     
Part numbers are for reference only, always 
check with your parts department for latest 
information. 
     
Notes:  
     
The vacuum in the intake system will cause the 
leak detector spray to be drawn in with the 
outside air. The leak detector spray reduces the 
ignitability of the mixture. This leads to a drop in 
engine speed and to a significant increase of 
the CO content. 
     The safety precautions listed on the container 
must be adhered to. 
     
-  Connect VAG1551 (or VAS 5051) and select 
engine electronics control module with the 
"Address word" 01. When doing this the engine 
must be running at idling speed. (Connect scan 
tool and selecting engine electronics control 
module  Page 01
-9 .)
