Checking voltage supply  
    
If the specified value is not obtained:  -  Disconnect camshaft position sensor harness connector.
-  Switch Fluke 83 multimeter to 20 volt range and connect between 
terminal 1 (B+) and terminal 3 (GND). 
-  Switch ignition on.
   Specified value: min. 9 volts
-  Check wiring for continuity or short between camshaft position sensor 
and ECM using wiring diagram. 
-  Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness connector   page 01

-  Check camshaft position sensor B+ wire for 
continuity between connector terminal 1 and test 
box socket A2. 
     
  
Specified value: max. 1        
-  Check both wires for possible short to each 
other. 
      If the specified values are not obtained:  
    
If there is neither an open nor short circuit:  -  Check for open or short circuit in wiring between the camshaft position 
sensor connector and ECM connector -A- or engine Ground (GND), 
eliminate as necessary. Camshaft position sensor

Function, checking  
     
Note:  
     For functional check of camshaft position sensor, 
disconnect the 4-pin connector from the ignition 
coil power output stage and check DTC memory.

-  Push back rubber boot on camshaft position 
sensor connector (sensor remains connected). 
     
-  Connect VAG 1527B voltage tester between 
terminal 1 (B+) and 2 (signal). 
     
-  Operate starter for several seconds.
     
Voltage tester must flash briefly every 
second engine rotation 
      If voltage tester does not flash:  
     
-  Switch ignition off and disconnect 3-pin harness 
connector from camshaft position sensor. 
     
-  Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness 
connector  page 01
