Engine speed signal, checking
 
     
Note:  
     The engine speed signal is output at terminal 37 
of the Engine Control Module (ECM). The signal 
is used, among other things, for RPM display in 
the instrument cluster.

Display on VAS5051:  
-  Determining via road test whether vehicle speed is displayed in display 
field -3-. 
-  If vehicle speed is not display, lift vehicle -if possible using a vehicle lift-
until front left wheel is free. 
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to Engine Control 
Module (ECM), do not connect ECM   Page 24

 . 
-  Connect VAG1527B voltage tester to sockets 3 (B+) and 54 (VSS) of 
VAG1598/31 test box. 
-  Switch ignition on and turn front left wheel by hand.
 
LED must blink (very brief blink signal).

Wire for crash signal, checking
 
      The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the 
crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from 
the airbag control module.  
      When the airbag control module sends the crash 
signal to the ECM (during an accident or when 
output DTM is being performed for the airbag 
system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP) 
off. This means that the engine will stop running 
but can be started again afterward (e.g. to 
remove vehicle from danger).

to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect
