Checking fuel pump relay actuation

Note:
The LED light will light dimly before and after cranking the starter.
If the LED test light does not light up while cranking the starter, check
wiring as follows. - Connect VAG1527B LED voltage tester between relay socket terminals
28 (B+) and 29.
- Briefly crank starter.
LED test light must light up.

If resistance is NOT OK:
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations
binder. - Connect VAG1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector page 01
-

. (Numbers marked on ECM connector match those on test box).
- Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to check for open
circuit between relay socket terminal 29 and test box socket 4.

Specified value: max. 1 - Repair wiring using applicable wiring diagram.

If the wiring is OK, but the LED test light does not
light up:

- Replace Motronic ECM -J220- page 01

.

- Carry out adaptation of throttle valve control
module to ECM page 24

.

- Check readiness code page 01
-70
. If
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has
been erased, or ECM was disconnected,
generate new readiness code page 01

.
If the wiring is OK, and the signal to the fuel
pump relay is OK:

- Replace fuel pump relay -J17-.

- Reinstall fuses.

Checking injection amount

- Insert injector to be tested into measuring glass of VAG1602 fuel
analyzer.
- Connect one terminal of injector being tested to engine ground using
test lead from VAG1594.

Note:
This step lets the fuel pump run without the engine running. The closed
throttle position switch must be closed during the test, or the selected fuel
injector will discharge fuel when it is actuated 5 times. - Connect second terminal of injector to B+ using VAG1348/3A remote
control, VAG1348/3-2 adapter wire and an auxiliary wire.
- Conduct output DTM, actuating cylinder 1 injector -N30- page 01
-51

(fuel pump must be running).

Checking for leaks

- Conduct output DTM, actuating cylinder 1
injector -N30- page 01
-51
(fuel pump must be
running).

Note:
This step lets the fuel pump run without the
engine running. The closed throttle position
switch must be closed during the test, or the
selected fuel injector will discharge fuel when it is
actuated 5 times.

- Visually check injector for leaks.

With fuel pump running, only 1 to 2 drops can
drip in a minute (per injector).
If fuel loss is greater:

- Replace leaking injector
Installation of the injectors is in reverse order of
removal.

- Replace O-rings on all injectors and coat O-rings
lightly with clean engine oil.

Fuel pressure, fuel pressure regulator
and residual fuel pressure, checking

The fuel pressure regulator controls the fuel
pressure depending on intake manifold
pressure.

WARNING!

Fire hazard! Do not smoke, work near heaters
or open flame, or have anything nearby that
could ignite fuel. The fuel system is under
pressure. Before opening, cover connections
with a rag, and open carefully to release
pressure.

Required special tools and test equipment

Pressure tester VAG1318
Adapter 1318/7
Adapter 1318/10
Adapter 1318/13

Test requirements
Fuel pump delivery rate OK; checking:

If the specified value is not attained:

- Replace fuel pressure regulator and repeat
pressure test.
If the specified value is still not obtained:

- Check fuel pump or supply line for damage (e.g.
pinched locations); replace if necessary.
If the specified value is exceeded:

- Check return line for damage (e.g. pinch
locations); replace if necessary.

- Install vacuum hose on fuel pressure regulator
and check for pressure drop on gauge.

Specification: when vacuum hose is installed,
fuel pressure must drop by about 0.5 bar (7 psi).
If pressure does not change, the following tests
should be conducted:

- Check vacuum line for leaks (cracks,
damage).

-
Check vacuum line at intake hose for
obstruction; remove hose at fuel pressure

If the residual pressure drops (is lower than
spec.) again, the following malfunctions are
possible.

Connections for the pressure gauge and fuel
lines leaking
Pre-feed line on fuel reservoir leaking
Check valve in the electric fuel pump
malfunctioning

Repair Manual, Fuel Supply System, Repair
Group 20, Checking fuel pump check valve

If retaining pressure does not drop, the following
malfunctions are possible:

Malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator
Injectors leaking
Connections for the pressure gauge leaking
behind shut-off valve

Checking EVAP canister purge regulator
valve voltage supply

Test conditions

Fuse for EVAP canister purge regulator
valve OK

- Disconnect harness connector from EVAP
canister purge regulator valve.

If LED test light does not light:
If wiring is OK: - Connect VAG1527B LED voltage tester between connector terminal 1
(B+) and engine Ground.
- Operate starter motor.
Specified value: LED must light up
- Check wiring for open circuit between connector terminal 1 and fuse,
according to wiring diagram; repair if necessary.

Specified value: 1.0 max.- Check fuel pump relay page 24
