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

Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61 and Knock
Sensor (KS) 2 -G66, checking
Notes:
It is not possible to carry out an electrical test of
the knock sensors themselves.
To ensure that the knock sensors function
properly it is important to keep exactly to the
specified tightening torque of 20 Nm (15 ft lb)
Use only gold-plated terminals when repairing
the terminals in the plug connectors for the
knock sensors.
Check for corrosion in connection between
knock sensor and wiring harness.
Checking knock sensors
Note: - Disconnect harness connector for relevant knock sensor in engine
compartment.

If there is a connection between the terminals.
Notes:
If there is no short circuit
Checking wiring between knock sensors and engine control module - Check for short circuits between all three terminals in knock sensor
connector (terminals 1 + 2, 1 + 3 and 2 + 3).
Specified value: There must be no contact between the wires (infinite
). - Replace knock sensor.
In order to reach the knock sensors, first remove the air duct Page 24

.
Use special tool 3247 to remove the knock sensors.
- Check wiring for knock sensors.
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness for engine control
module. Do not connect to the engine control module itself Page 24
