1) The motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) 
power supply relay -J271- continues to direct 
current to terminal 121 of the Engine Control 
Module (ECM) for up to 15 minutes after ignition 
is switched off.  
     
-  Switch ignition on.
     
 
Specification: approx. battery voltage
      If specified value is not obtained:  
     
-  Check wire connections.

Note:  
     
Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- and Knock Sensor 
(KS) 2 -G66- themselves cannot be electrically 
tested. 
     Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing 
harness connector for knock sensors. 
     For the knock sensors to function properly, it is 
important that tightening torque be exactly 20 
Nm. 
     Check harness connector from knock sensor to 
wiring harness for corrosion. 
     
Checking knock sensor wiring  
    
-  Disconnect harness connector for Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- (item no. 
5) or Knock Sensor (KS) 2 -G66- (item no. 4) in engine compartment.

Check wires from knock sensors to Engine Control Module (ECM).   -  Check all three terminals at knock sensor connector for short circuit to 
each other (terminal 1+2, 1+3, 2+3). 
 
Specification:   (no continuity) - the wires must not have any 
connection to each other 
-  If there is no connection , replace knock sensor.
-  If no short circuit is detected, check knock sensor wires:
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to Engine Control 
Module (ECM), do not connect ECM   Page 24
-19
 . 
-  Check following wire connections for open circuit and short circuit to 
Ground (GND) and B+:

Checking Ground (GND) wire  
    
If all specified values are being reached and the LED does not blink 
(measured between terminal 1 and 2 with starter and connector 
connected):  
If specified values are not obtained:  
Checking wire connections between Camshaft Position (CMP) 
sensor and Engine Control Module (ECM)   -  Check following wire connection for open circuit and short circuit to B+:Harness connector

-  Repair open circuit or short circuit if necessary.
-  Replace Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to Engine Control 
Module (ECM), do not connect ECM   Page 24
