Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS), checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
The vehicle speed signal is generated by the 
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -G68 (on the 
transmission) and is processed in the 
instrument cluster. 
     The processed signal goes to terminal 54 on 
the engine control module and is used for Idle 
Air Control (IAC) and for the damping of load 
change jolts when changing gear. 
     
- Start engine.

and load change impacts when changing gears 
and is also used for the cruise control system.

Checking bus system  
      The principle of the test is independent of the 
number of control modules/systems connected to 
the CAN-bus.  
      The DTC table suggested checking the data 
exchange between the Engine Control Module 
(ECM) and CAN capable control modules.  
     
-  Start engine (if engine will not start, switch 
ignition on). 
     
-  Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool 
and select the control module for engine 
electronics using "address word" 01   Page 01

   CAN capable control modules connected to the Engine Control Module 
(ECM) are indicated: 
 
No indication (display field empty): Control module not CAN-
capable 
 Indication 1: CAN capable control module is connected to databus
 Indication 0: CAN capable control module is not connected to

Note:  
Display group 125 indicates all systems that communicate with the Engine 
Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus. (In this example, the ABS control 
module and the instrument cluster). If these systems are not installed, the 
display fields in display group 125 that are intended for them will be 
empty. Display field 1 will indicate "Transmission 1" and display field 4 will 
indicate "A/C 1" if these systems are communicated with the Engine 
Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus.

Note:  
Display group 126 indicates all other systems that communicate with the 
Engine Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus. If these systems are not 
installed, the display fields that are intended for them will be empty. 
The following systems will be indicated in display group 126, assuming 
they are communicating with the Engine Control Module (ECM) via the 
CAN-bus: 
Display field 1: automatic distance control; indication: "Distance 1". 
Display field 2: Steering angle sensor; indication: "Steering angle 1" 
Display field 3: Airbag; indication: "Airbag 1". 
Display field 4: System voltage; indication: "cnt. ELEC 1".  -  Check under display group 126 in the same manner.
