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
-

Fuel injectors, checking


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.

Checking signal from ECM

- Disconnect harness connector from cylinder 1 fuel injector.
- Connect VAG1527B LED voltage tester between connector terminals
(to ECM), using adapter cables from VW1594 connector test kit.
- Disconnect harness connectors from fuel injectors for cylinders 2-6.
- Crank starter briefly to check voltage supply for cylinder 1 fuel injector.
LED must flicker.
- Repeat test for fuel injectors for cylinders 2-6.

Tuning (IMT) valve -N156- (change-over valve).

- Remove 5-pin connector from ignition coils, 2-
pin connector from valve for camshaft
adjustment -N208- (bank 2) and 2-pin connector
from camshaft position sensor -G163- (bank 1).

- Disconnect wiring harness from clips on fuel
rail.

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).
