Checking wiring:

- Switch ignition off.

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

Engine Speed (RPM) sensor -G28,
checking


Note:

The engine speed sender is a combined speed
sender and reference mark sender. Without a
signal from the Engine Speed (RPM) sensor -
G28 the engine cannot be started. If the signal
from the Engine Speed (RPM) sensor -G28 fails
while the engine is running, the engine will cut
out immediately.

- Before carrying out test, make sure that sensor
is correctly installed and firmly seated.

- Disconnect harness connector for Engine Speed
(RPM) sensor (grey connector).

Notes:
If the specification is not attained:
If the specification is attained:
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
