Notes:  
     
Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61- and Knock Sensor 
(KS) 2 -G66- themselves cannot be electrically 
tested. 
     Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing 
harness connector for knock sensors. 
     For the knock sensors to function properly, it is 
important that tightening torque be exactly 20 
Nm. 
     Check harness connector from knock sensor to 
wiring harness for corrosion. 
     
Check knock sensors  
    
Note:  
Coolant reservoir screws must be removed and coolant reservoir must be 
placed to side in order to access harness connector for knock sensor for 
bank 2. The coolant hoses can remain connected.  -  Disconnect the harness connector of the relevant knock sensor in 
engine compartment.

Check wires from knock sensors to Engine Control Module (ECM).   -  Check all three terminals at knock sensor connector for short circuit to 
each other (terminal 1+2, 1+3, 2+3). 
 
Specification:   (no continuity) - the wires must not have any 
connection to each other. 
-  If there is no connection , replace knock sensor.
-  If no short circuit is detected, check knock sensor wires:
-  Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to ECM, do not 
connect ECM   Page 24

 . 
-  Check the following wire connections for open circuit and short circuit 
to Ground (GND) and B+:

Notes:  
     
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor -G40- is 
located at rear of left cylinder block (bank 2). 
     Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 -G163- is 
located at front of right cylinder block (bank 1). 
     
Checking activation  
     
-  Slide back rubber grommet at connector of the 
respective Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 
(connector remains connected to Camshaft 
Position (CMP) Sensor). 
    
Note:  
Connector socket numbers are shown on the rear side of the connector.  -  Connect VAG1527B voltage tester between sockets 2 (CMP sensor 
signal) and 1 (B+). 
-  Operate starter for a few seconds.
 
LED must blink briefly at every second engine rotation.

Note:  
     Voltage testers do not go out completely during 
low current pick-up between activations by the 
ECM, but rather continue to glow a little and then 
get significantly brighter during activation. 
      If LED does not blink:  
     
Checking voltage supply  
     
-  Disconnect connector at respective Camshaft 
Position (CMP) sensor. 
     
-  Switch ignition on.
    
-  Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:Harness connector  
Terminal  
Measure to  
1   Engine Ground (GND)  
 
Specification: about 5 V

-  Repair open circuit or short circuit if 
necessary. 
     
-  If, after erasing DTC memory for the sake of the 
test, a DTC relating to the Camshaft Position 
(CMP) sensor (hall sensor) is indicated again, 
even though all previous tests were OK, the 
following malfunction is possible: 
     
 
Shutter wheel for Camshaft Position (CMP) 
sensor is not aligned properly. 
     
Check phase position of Camshaft Position 
(CMP) sensor
