Engine speed signal, checking


Note:
The engine speed signal is output at terminal 37
of the Engine Control Module (ECM). The signal
is used, among other things, for RPM display in
the instrument cluster.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect
ECM Page 24
-19
.

- Check the following wire connection for open
circuit and short circuit to Ground (GND) and B+:

Vehicle speed signal, checking


Notes:

The vehicle speed signal is generated by the
speedometer Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -
G22- (at transmission) and is processed in the
instrument cluster.
The processed signal enters at terminal 54 of
the ECM and is used for idle stabilization and
tip-in shock reduction during shifting.

Test requirement:
