Notes:  
     Use VAG1526A multimeter for the test. The 
tables list which measures range needs to be 
selected before taking each measurement. 
     The specified values are valid for an ambient 
temperature of 0 to 40 C (32 to 104 F). 
     
If the values obtained differ from the specified 
values, determine the malfunction using the 
applicable wiring diagram. 
     If the measured values only deviate slightly 
from the specified values clean sockets and 
connectors of testers and repeat test. Before 
replacing a component, check wires and 
connections. If the specified values are below 
10  , repeat the resistance measurement on 
the component.

The contact numbers of the connector and the 
socket numbers of VAG 1598/20 test box match 
up  page 01

 . 
     
To check the multi-function switch, it is not 
necessary to connect test box VAG 1598/20 
because first the connectors for the multi-
function switch are checked. 
     
CAUTION! 
     
To avoid permanent damage of electronic 
components, select the appropriate 
measuring range on tester before connecting 
the measuring leads.

-  For all test steps, switch ignition off, disconnect multi-pin connector for 
Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217- (located in front of 
passenger seat under carpet in foot well   page 01
-11
 ) and connect 
VAG1598/20 adapter to wiring harness connector. 
-  If measuring values do not match specifications, follow instructions in 
right-hand column of test table (labelled "Corrective action")   page 
01
-11
 . 
-  Always perform all steps indicated in the "Corrective action" column.
-  Only perform test steps recommended in the DTC table (selective 
troubleshooting).
