If no malfunction in wire is detected:

Checking sender

- Measure resistance between contacts 1 (signal) and 2 (Ground GND))
on connector for Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor -G42. Temperature C
Resistance k
-20 approx. 13.8
0 approx. 5.5
20 approx. 2.4
40 approx. 1.1
60 approx. 0.6
- If value does not match the specification, replace intake air
temperature sensor.
- In order to install a new sensor, the intake manifold must first be
removed Page 24

Engine Speed (RPM) sensor -G28,
checking


Note:

The engine speed sender is a combined speed
sender and reference mark sender. Without a
signal from the Engine Speed (RPM) sensor -
G28 the engine cannot be started. If the signal
from the Engine Speed (RPM) sensor -G28 fails
while the engine is running, the engine will cut
out immediately.

- Before carrying out test, make sure that sensor
is correctly installed and firmly seated.

- Disconnect harness connector for Engine Speed
(RPM) sensor (grey connector).

Notes:
If the specification is not attained:
If the specification is attained:
If the specification is not attained:
If the specification is attained: - Connect multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) (resistance test range) to
terminals 2 and 3 on connector for engine speed sensor using test lead
from VAG1594 connector test kit.
Specified value: approx. 730 - 1000 ohm
The resistance value for the engine speed sensor is based on a
temperature of 20 C. The resistance increases as the temperature rises.
- Replace engine speed sensor.
- Connect multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) (resistance test range)
between terminals 2 and 1 (Ground (GND)) and between terminals 3
and 1 (Ground (GND)).

Specified value: R (infinite Ohms / open circuit) in each test
- Replace Engine Speed (RPM) sensor.
-
Check wiring between sensor connector and engine control module as

All:
Scale A shows resistance values for temperature range 0 - 50 C and
scale B the values for temperature range 50 - 100 C. - Connect multi-meter (resistance measurement) between terminals 3
and 4 of sensor.

Examples:
If value does not match the specification:
30 C corresponds to a resistance from 1500...2000 80 C corresponds to a resistance from 275...375
- Replace coolant temperature sensor.
