Safety precautions
 
     
WARNING! 
     
Fire hazard! Do not smoke, work near heaters 
or open flame, or have anything nearby that 
could ignite fuel. The fuel system is under 
pressure. Before opening, cover connections 
with a rag, and open carefully to release 
pressure. Be alert when working on or near 
the engine and ignition wires. High secondary 
ignition voltage can cause serious personal 
injury and damage vehicle components.  
     
DO NOT touch or disconnect ignition system 
wires when the engine is running or being 
cranked at starting RPM. 
     DO NOT operate starter if fuel injectors are 
removed. 
     
Be sure the ignition is switched OFF, when: 
     Disconnecting or connecting the battery, 
ignition wires, or test equipment leads 
     Disconnecting fuel injection system wiring
     Washing the engine or engine 
compartment.

BEFORE cranking engine at starting RPM 
(e.g. for compression testing) disable ignition 
and fuel injection systems: 
     
Disconnect both ignition coil power output 
stages, and both Motronic fuses at the E-box 
in the plenum. 
     Disconnect harness connectors from all fuel 
injectors. 
     Afterward, erase DTC memory.

CAUTION! 
     
BEFORE disconnecting the battery: 
     
Stop the engine.
     Be sure the ignition is switched OFF (also 
applies when connecting the battery). Failure 
to do so may damage the Engine Control 
Module (ECM). 
     Be sure of the proper radio code (for vehicles 
equipped with coded anti-theft radio). 
     
Be sure the battery negative (-) cable is 
disconnected, when: 
     Working on the electrical system
     Resistance (spot) welding or electric arc 
welding anywhere on the vehicle. 
     
When connecting and disconnecting 
electrical test equipment (LED voltage tester, 
multimeter, etc.): 
     Be sure the ignition is switched OFF.
     Use correct adapters from the VW 1594

connector test kit. 
     
For any work affecting the Engine Control 
Module (ECM): 
     BEFORE disconnecting the ECM harness 
connector, switch the ignition OFF and WAIT 
at least 20 seconds. Failure to do so may 
damage the ECM. 
     DO NOT connect any outside voltage source 
to stimulate an output signal at the ECM.

Fuel injection system, servicing
 
      Servicing ignition system:  
     
       Repair Group 28   
     
Notes:  
     
Fuel hoses in the engine compartment must be 
secured with spring-type clamps. Screw-type 
clamps or equivalent must not be used. 
     The Engine Control Module (ECM) has On 
Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability, and is 
equipped with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 
memory. Before repairing or adjusting any 
components or systems, first check DTC 
memory. Also check all vacuum connections for 
leaks ("false air"). 
     For proper operation of electrical and electronic 
components, a Battery Positive Voltage (B+) 
supply of at least 11.5 volts is required. 
     Do not use any gasket sealers or other 
automotive chemical compounds that contain 
silicone. Traces of silicone drawn into the 
engine pass unburned into the exhaust and can 
damage the oxygen sensors.

Idle speed, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
Idle speed, ignition timing and CO-content 
cannot be adjusted. 
     Idle speed is maintained by the Throttle valve 
control module. 
     CO-content is maintained and adjusted by 
Oxygen Sensor (O2S) control. Malfunctions in 
O2S control are recognized by On Board 
Diagnostic (OBD) and stored in DTC memory. 
     
Required special tools and test equipment

Continuation  
      If the value in display field 1 is NOT OK, or if the 
value does not fluctuate by at least 2 %:  
     
-  Road test to condition oxygen sensor (eliminate 
possible contamination) and repeat test. 
      If the value in display field 1 is still NOT OK, or if 
it still does not fluctuate by at least 2 %:  
     
-  Check Oxygen Sensor (O2S) heater   Page 24

 . 
      If the value in display field 1 remains constant:  
     
-  Check oxygen sensor voltage (display field 2).

connector terminals 3 and 4 (to ECM), using adapter cables from VW 
1594 connector test kit. 
-  Start engine and measure voltage.
