Notes:

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor -G40- is
located at rear of left cylinder block (bank 2).
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 -G163- is
located at front of right cylinder block (bank 1).

Checking activation

- Slide back rubber grommet at connector of the
respective Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
(connector remains connected to Camshaft
Position (CMP) Sensor).

Note:
Connector socket numbers are shown on the rear side of the connector. - Connect VAG1527B voltage tester between sockets 2 (CMP sensor
signal) and 1 (B+).
- Operate starter for a few seconds.

LED must blink briefly at every second engine rotation.

Note:
Voltage testers do not go out completely during
low current pick-up between activations by the
ECM, but rather continue to glow a little and then
get significantly brighter during activation.
If LED does not blink:

Checking voltage supply

- Disconnect connector at respective Camshaft
Position (CMP) sensor.

- Switch ignition on.

- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:Harness connector

- Repair open circuit or short circuit if
necessary.

- If, after erasing DTC memory for the sake of the
test, a DTC relating to the Camshaft Position
(CMP) sensor (hall sensor) is indicated again,
even though all previous tests were OK, the
following malfunction is possible:


Shutter wheel for Camshaft Position (CMP)
sensor is not aligned properly.

Check phase position of Camshaft Position
(CMP) sensor

- Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool
and select the control module for engine
electronics using "address word" 01 Page 01
