Engine speed signal, checking


Note:
The engine speed signal is output at terminal 37
of the Engine Control Module (ECM). The signal
is used, among other things, for RPM display in
the instrument cluster.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to ECM, do not connect ECM Page 24
-17
.

- Check the following wire connection for open
circuit and short circuit to Ground (GND) and B+:

Consumption signal for on board
computer, checking


Notes:

The consumption signal is calculated by the
ECM from the injection time and directed to the
on board computer via terminal 81 of the ECM.

Vehicle speed signal, checking


Notes:

The vehicle speed signal is generated by the
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -G68- (at
transmission) and processed in the instrument
cluster.
The processed signal enters at terminal 54 of
the ECM and is used for idle stabilization and
tip-in shock reduction during shifting.

Test requirement:
Function and display of speedometer OK.

Wire for fuel level signal, checking


Notes:

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the
fuel level signal from the instrument cluster.
The processed signal enters at terminal 30 of
the ECM and is used to determine the cause of
certain recognized malfunctions (e.g.
combustion misfires).

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
