A/C compressor shut-off signal,
checking
Note:
The A/C compressor is switched off during
acceleration by the Engine Control Module
(ECM) and at wide open throttle by the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) via the
kickdown switch.
A/C compressor shut-off is bi-directional ("in"and
"out").
IN: Shortly before switching the A/C
compressor on, voltage is applied to the ECM
which causes the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to
open a little more to adjust to the higher load.
OUT: When accelerating from a standstill
position and at lower speed, the A/C
compressor is shut off for approx. 12 seconds
via control by the ECM. If the accelerator pedal
is released early enough, the duration is
reduced to a minimal 3 seconds.

Checking
- Start engine and let idle.
- Switch A/C on, push "AUTO" button, set
temperature to "LO" and blower speed to "HI".
A/C compressor symbol must light up and
A/C must run.
- Using VAG 1551 scan tool, select "Basic
Setting" function 04, display group 004 page 01

.
A/C compressor must stop (visual check)
If the A/C compressor does not shut off:
- Switch A/C off (press "minus" button for fresh air
blower in A/C control head repeatedly, until all
indicators are off).
Continue to let engine run in idle.
- Using VAG 1551 scan tool, select "Read
Measuring Value Block" function 08, display
group 004.

Engine speed (RPM) signal, checking
Notes:
The RPM signal is routed from the ECM to
various electronic systems (e.g. automatic
transmission, ABS, etc.). The RPM signal is
monitored by the different electronic systems.
Carry out the following check only if the
tachometer (in the instrument cluster) is
inoperative, or if the A/C compressor is not
running.
- Connect VAG 1367 engine-tester to tachometer
using wiring diagram.
- Connect VAG 1367 engine-tester signal wire
(green terminal) to instrument cluster RPM
terminal and A/C control module RPM terminal
(connector remains connected).
- Start engine and let idle.
RPM must be displayed again
If the specified value is obtained, the malfunction
is in instrument cluster or on A/C control module.
If the RPM is not displayed on VAG 1367 engine-

- Switch Fluke 83 multimeter to voltage
measurement range and connect between
signal wire (trip computer 20-pin connector) and
Ground (GND), using wiring diagram.
- Start engine and let idle.
Specified value: approx. 0.3 to 0.6 volts,
corresponding to engine speed (RPM)
- Vary engine speed continuously from 1000 to
4000 RPM.
Specified value: approx. 0.3 to 0.6 volts,
corresponding to engine speed (RPM)
If the specified value is not obtained, even
though the trip computer shows no consumption
value or there is a stored malfunction in the
TCM:
- Stop engine (switch ignition off).
- Replace trip computer and/or TCM as
required.
If the specified value is not obtained:

Transmission Range (TR) selector lever
position signal, checking
Note:
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses this
signal to recognize the transmission range
selector lever position. When a driving mode is
selected, idle speed should drop by approx. 50
RPM to reduce creep.

Shift procedure, checking
Notes:
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses this
signal to briefly retard the ignition during shifting
to reduce the mechanical jerking felt between
shifts.
The shift signal is monitored by the
Transmission Control Module (TCM).

Carry out the following check only if a shift-
related DTC is stored in the TCM DTC memory.
