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

Notes:
Component locations of Hall sensors Page 24
-5 .
The Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 1 -G40 is
located at the rear of the right-hand cylinder
head (Bank 1).
The Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 -G163
is located at the front of the left-hand cylinder
head (Bank 2).
Checking activation of Hall sensor (camshaft
position sensor)
Use test leads VAG1594 connector test kit when
carrying out the following tests.
- Push back rubber grommet on relevant Hall
sensor connector.
- Connect VAG1527 diode test lamp to terminals 1 and 2 of hall sensor
connector from behind (without disconnecting connector from hall
sensor).

- Operate starter for few seconds.
The diode test lamp should blink briefly once
every two engine revolutions.
Note:
Diode test lamps with a low current draw
continue to glow faintly between impulses from
the engine control module (rather than going out
completely) and become much brighter when
receiving an impulse.
If the diode test lamp does not flash, test the
voltage supply.
Checking voltage supply for Hall sensor
- Disconnect harness connector from relevant Hall
sensor.
- Switch ignition on.

Checking signal wire for Hall sensor
Checking Ground (GND) wire for Hall sensor: - Connect multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) (voltage measurement
range) between engine Ground (GND) and socket 1 of connector.
Specified value: approx. 5 V
- Connect multimeter (Fluke 83 or equivalent) (voltage measurement
range) between engine Ground (GND) and socket 2 of relevant
connector.
Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If all specifications are reached but the diode test
lamp does not flash (measurement taken
between terminals 1 and 2 without unplugging
connector and while operating starter):
- Replace relevant Hall sensor.
If specifications are obtained:
- Check wiring.
Checking wiring between hall sensor and
engine control module
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness
for engine control module. Do not connect to the
engine control module itself Page 24
