Fuel pump relay and connections, 
checking
 
    
The fuel pump relay is located at relay position 6 on the relay panel on the 
left side under the instrument panel.  
Checking function of fuel pump relay -J17-  
-  Remove storage shelf in left-front footwell.
    
-  Remove fuses 28, 29 and 34 from fuse panel.
-  Connect VAG1527B LED voltage tester between Ground and one of 
the two terminals for fuse 28. 
-  Briefly crank starter.
 
LED test light must light up.
 Fuel pump relay must be actuated (can be felt and heard)

       If the fuel pump does not respond:  
     
-  Check fuel pump relay actuation   page 24

 . 
      If the LED test light does not light up:  
     
-  Repeat test at other terminal of fuse 28.
    
If the LED light still does not light up:  
-  Check wiring for open or short circuits between fuse 28 and terminal 30 
at relay position 6, using the applicable wiring diagram. Repair wiring 
as necessary. 
  
Specified value: max. 1.5 
    
Note:  
This step lets the fuel pump run without the engine running. The closed 
throttle position switch must be closed during the test, or the selected fuel 
injector will discharge fuel when it is actuated 5 times.  -  Connect VAG1527B LED voltage tester between Ground and one of 
the two terminals for fuse 29.

Checking fuel pump relay voltage supply and 
actuation  
     
-  Remove fuel pump relay -J17- from relay panel 
position 6. 
     
Checking fuel pump relay voltage supply 
     
-  Switch ignition on.
    
If voltage is NOT OK:  -  Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or similar) and check for voltage 
at relay socket: 
 
Terminals 28 (B+) and 34
 Terminals 32 (B+) and 34
 Specified values: approx. Battery Positive Voltage (B+)
-  Repair wiring according to applicable wiring diagram.

Checking fuel pump relay actuation 
    
Note:  
The LED light will light dimly before and after cranking the starter. 
If the LED test light does not light up while cranking the starter, check 
wiring as follows.  -  Connect VAG1527B LED voltage tester between relay socket terminals 
28 (B+) and 29. 
-  Briefly crank starter.
   LED test light must light up.
    
If resistance is NOT OK:  
 Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations 
binder.    -  Connect VAG1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector   page 01
-

 . (Numbers marked on ECM connector match those on test box). 
-  Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to check for open 
circuit between relay socket terminal 29 and test box socket 4. 
  
Specified value: max. 1   -  Repair wiring using applicable wiring diagram.

       If the wiring is OK, but the LED test light does not 
light up:  
     
-  Replace Motronic ECM -J220-   page 01

 .
     
-  Carry out adaptation of throttle valve control 
module to ECM   page 24

 . If 
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has 
been erased, or ECM was disconnected, 
generate new readiness code   page 01

 . 
      If the wiring is OK, and the signal to the fuel 
pump relay is OK:  
     
-  Replace fuel pump relay -J17-.
     
- Reinstall fuses.

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.
