-  Disconnect EGR temperature sensor harness 
connector. 
    
-  Switch multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to 20 volt range and connect 
between both terminals of connector using jumper wires from 
connector test kit VW 1594. 
-  Switch ignition ON.
   Specified value: approx. 5.0 volts

       If the specified value is not obtained:  
    
Note:  
If it becomes necessary to repair or replace any of the EGR temperature 
sensor electrical terminals, ONLY replace with gold plated terminals. 
If the specified value is obtained:  
If resistance does not change:  -  Find and eliminate open circuit in wiring between EGR temperature 
sensor connector terminal 1 and ECM terminal A23, and then between 
connector terminal 2 and engine Ground (GND), using wiring diagram. 
-  Disconnect multimeter and jumper wires from EGR temperature sensor 
harness connector. 
-  Switch ignition OFF.
-  Remove EGR temperature sensor.
- 
Switch multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to 200 k  resistance range 
and connect to EGR temperature sensor terminals using jumper wires 
from connector test kit VW 1594. - 
Immerse temperature sensor in hot water (80  to 100 C) (176  to 
212 F) and measure resistance. 
Resistance must change 
-  Replace EGR temperature sensor.
