The speed signal is generated by the vehicle
speed sensor (at the transmission), and
processed at the speedometer/odometer in the
instrument cluster.

Transmission Range (TR) signal,
checking


Notes:

Through the multi-function Transmission Range
(TR) program switch -F125- at the transmission,
the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes
whether a drive range is selected (selector lever
in 2/3/4/R/D) or not (selector lever in P or N)
The multi-function Transmission Range (TR)
program switch -F125- at the transmission
switches to Ground through terminal 22 of the
ECM when the shift lever is in N or P.
When a drive range is selected, the switch
opens and terminal 22 now has power.

Required special tools and test equipment
VAG 1551 or VAG 1552 Scan Tool (ST) with
VAG 1551/3 adapter cable
VAG 1598/22 test box

If the LED lights up continuously or does not light
up at all:

- Check wiring for open circuit, short circuit to Ground or short circuit to
B+ between ECM/test box socket 22 and multi-function Transmission
Range (TR) program switch -F125-.

Timing control during shifting, checking


Notes:

When shifting the automatic transmission, this
signal from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) retards the ignition timing briefly,
depending on vehicle speed and engine RPM
(reduction of torque), to reduce shift pressure.
Because of the very brief signal to reduce
torque, the signal is not always recognized by
the VAG 1551 scan tool, and therefore is not
always indicated.

VAG 1551/3 adapter cable

Continuation

Note:
The wiring to the Transmission Control Module is
monitored by On Board Diagnostic and stores
the Diagnostic Trouble Code 00545 if there is a
malfunction.
If displayed value is NOT OK (not as specified),
or if DTC 00545 is stored in DTC memory:

- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to ECM harness
connector Page 01
