Checking voltage supply

If the specified value is not obtained: - Disconnect camshaft position sensor harness connector.
- Switch Fluke 83 multimeter to 20 volt range and connect between
terminal 1 (B+) and terminal 3 (GND).
- Switch ignition on.
Specified value: min. 9 volts
- Check wiring for continuity or short between camshaft position sensor
and ECM using wiring diagram.
- Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness connector page 01
-

.
- Check camshaft position sensor Ground (GND) wire for continuity
between connector terminal 3 and engine Ground.

- Check camshaft position sensor B+ wire for
continuity between connector terminal 1 and test
box socket A2.


Specified value: max. 1
- Check both wires for possible short to each
other.
If the specified values are not obtained:

If there is neither an open nor short circuit: - Check for open or short circuit in wiring between the camshaft position
sensor connector and ECM connector -A- or engine Ground (GND),
eliminate as necessary. Camshaft position sensor

Function, checking

Note:
For functional check of camshaft position sensor,
disconnect the 4-pin connector from the ignition
coil power output stage and check DTC memory.

- Push back rubber boot on camshaft position
sensor connector (sensor remains connected).

- Connect VAG 1527B voltage tester between
terminal 1 (B+) and 2 (signal).

- Operate starter for several seconds.

Voltage tester must flash briefly every
second engine rotation
If voltage tester does not flash:

- Switch ignition off and disconnect 3-pin harness
connector from camshaft position sensor.

- Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness
