Crash signal, checking

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the
crash signal ("Crash shut-down activated") from
the airbag control module.
If the airbag control module sends the crash
signal to the ECM (if an accident occurred or if a
output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) was carried
out), the ECM shuts off the fuel pump, that
means the engine stalls, however, afterwards the
engine can be started again (e.g. when removing
the vehicle from the accident area)
The ECM cannot switch off the fuel pump during
an accident if the malfunction "Crash Signal from
Airbag Control Unit/Range Performance" from
the airbag control module is sent to ECM. The
engine control module cannot recognize the
crash signal from the airbag control module; e.g.:
if the wiring between the ECM and the airbag
control module is faulty.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box to wiring harness
for engine control module. Do not connect to the
engine control module itself Page 24
