Wire for crash signal, checking
 
      The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the 
crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from 
the airbag control module.  
      When the airbag control module sends the crash 
signal to the ECM (during an accident or when 
output DTM is being performed for the airbag 
system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP) 
off. This means that the engine will stop running 
but can be started again afterward (e.g. to 
remove vehicle from danger).  
     
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness 
to ECM, do not connect ECM   Page 24
