Checking

- Disconnect 3-pin harness connector from
Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor -G40-.

If voltage is OK: - Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to measure
voltage across CMP connector terminals 1 (B+) and 3 (Ground), using
adapters from VW1594 connector test kit.
- Switch ignition on.
- Measure voltage between terminals 1 and 3.
Specified value: 9-14.5 volts
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG1598/22 test box to Motronic ECM harness connector
page 01
-67
.
- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness
connector, according to wiring diagram.

Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 11
