Black 4-pin connector terminal
number (power output stage) Ignition coil terminal 1 at
connector for cylinder number:
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
- Check wiring for open circuit between each coil terminal 15 and fuse
and power supply, according to wiring diagram.

Checking signal for power output stage

- Disconnect 5-pin harness connector from power
output stage.

If the LED in the tester does not blink: - Connect VAG 1527B LED voltage tester in turn between 5-pin
connector terminals 1, 2, 4 and 5, and engine ground.
- Crank starter for a few seconds in each case.
LED must blink all 4 times
- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to ECM harness connector Page 01

.

- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 5-pin harness
connector, according to wiring diagram.

Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 70
Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 78
Connector terminal 4 to ECM/test box socket 77
