Signal from Engine Coolant 
Temperature (ECT) sensor -G2-, 
checking
 
      If a malfunction of the Engine Coolant 
Temperature (ECT) gauge is detected at the 
instrument cluster, check if the signal at the 
instrument cluster is OK.  
     
-  Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool

 . 
     
-  Select display group number 003.
      If the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) 
appears on the VAG1551 scan tool display but 
not by the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) 
gauge, the instrument cluster is faulty and must 
be replaced.  
      If no Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 
indicated on the VAG1551 scan tool display, the 
signal must be checked at multi-function 
connection at instrument cluster.  
     
- Remove instrument cluster   Page 90

-  Measure resistance (sensor resistance) between 
terminal 8 and 7 using VAG1526 multimeter. 
      Specified values:  
     
Coolant temperature 90 C: approx. 110 Ohm       
Coolant temperature 120 C: approx. 50 Ohm        If the specified values are not reached, the wire 
connection to Engine Coolant Temperature 
(ECT) -G2- must be checked.  
     
-  Check wire connection according to wiring 
diagram. 
     
       Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & 
Component Locations         If the wire connection is OK, Engine Coolant 
Temperature (ECT) -G2- must be replaced.
