Engine speed signal, checking


Note:
The engine speed signal is output at terminal 37
of the Engine Control Module (ECM). The signal
is used, among other things, for RPM display in
the instrument cluster.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect
ECM Page 24

Vehicle speed signal, checking


Note:

The vehicle speed signal is generated by the
speedometer Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -
G22- (at transmission) and is processed in the
instrument cluster.
The processed signal enters at terminal 54 of
the ECM and is used for idle stabilization and
tip-in shock reduction during shifting.

Test requirement:
Function and display of speedometer OK.

A/C compressor shut-off, checking


Note:

The A/C compressor signal communicates to
the ECM that the compressor will be switched
on in 140 ms.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can switch
off the A/C compressor via the same wire
connection.
Engine Control Module (ECM) switches off A/C
compressor:

-- during hard acceleration (Wide Open
Throttle 1st gear)

-- in emergency mode (emergency
operation)

-- after initiating basic setting (function 04)

Test requirements:
A/C system OK
No DTCs in DTC memory of Engine Control

Wire for crash signal, checking

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the
crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from
the airbag control module.
When the airbag control module sends the crash
signal to the ECM (during an accident or when
output DTM is being performed for the airbag
system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP)
off. This means that the engine will stop running
but can be started again afterward (e.g. to
remove vehicle from danger).

to Engine Control Module (ECM), do not connect

Wire for fuel level signal, checking


Note:

The signal helps with cause localization when
certain malfunctions are recognized (e.g.
combustion misfires).
The processed signal enters at terminal 30 of
the ECM and is used to determine the cause of
certain recognized malfunctions (e.g.
combustion misfires).

Signal for rough terrain recognition,
checking


Note:

When the ABS/EDL control module recognizes
that a wheel is spinning, the ABS/EDL control
module generates the rough terrain signal.
When the Engine Control Module (ECM)
recognizes the rough terrain signal, combustion
misfire recognition is switched off in the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
Only check the rough terrain signal if the
malfunction "18014 (P1606) rough terrain
info/engine torque from ABS cont. mod.
Electrical malfunction in circuit" is stored DTC
memory. It is possible that the malfunction
"Combustion misfire" is also stored in DTC
memory as a side effect and it can be
disregarded.
The wire connection and rough terrain signal
are monitored by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
