IGNITION CHECKS (CIS-E)
NOTE: Ignition checks are divided according to fuel system.
SPARK TEST
1) Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of each spark plug
wire. See HIGH TENSION WIRE RESISTANCE table. Check for a strong Blue
spark at coil wire and each spark plug wire by holding wire terminal
5/16" ground while cranking engine.
2) Disconnect and inspect all related ignition system
connectors and harness. Clean or repair as necessary. If okay, remove
negative battery cable. Disconnect secondary lead from coil Remove
primary leads from ignition coil.
3) Using ohmmeter, check resistance between primary terminals
of coil. Check secondary resistance between coil secondary terminal
and primary positive terminal. Replace coil if readings are not within
specifications. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.

HALL EFFECT SENDER
1) Remove coil secondary and attach to ground. Disconnect
Hall Effect sender harness connector at distributor. Using a LED Test
Light (US 1115), check for voltage between outer terminals of
connector. See Fig. 5. With ignition on, light should be on. If not,
check wiring for short or open circuit. If wiring is okay, replace
Digifant control unit.
2) If light came on in step 1), reconnect Hall Effect sender
harness connector. Pull back Hall Effect sender boot to expose contact
terminals. Apply LED Test Light (US 1115) probe to center contact and
battery positive terminal. See Fig. 5. Observe test light while
cranking engine. If test light blinks, Hall Effect sender is okay. If
not, replace Hall Effect sender.Fig. 5: Testing Typical Hall Effect Sender

1) Perform SPARK TEST check. If secondary spark is present,
ignition control unit is okay. If not, turn ignition off. Disconnect
ignition control unit wire harness connector. Turn ignition on. Using
a voltmeter, measure voltage between terminal No. 2 (-) and terminal
No. 4 (+) of connector. See Fig. 6.
2) Voltage should be present. If not, ensure continuity
exists between terminal No. 2 and ground. Continuity must also exist
between terminal No. 4 and ignition coil positive terminal. Repair
wiring if necessary. If wiring is okay, replace ignition control unit.Fig. 6: Checking Typical Ignition Control Unit Voltage

HALL EFFECT SENDER SWITCHING FUNCTION
1) Peel back the protective rubber boot on the Hall Effect
sender harness connector. Remove coil secondary and attach to ground.
Disconnect Hall Effect sender wire harness connector at distributor.
Using a LED Test Light (US 1115), check for voltage between outer
terminals of connector. See Fig. 5 or 8. With ignition on, light
should be on. If not, check wiring for short or open circuit. If not,
replace ignition control unit.
2) If light came on in step 1), reconnect Hall Effect sender
harness connector. Pull back Hall Effect sender boot to expose contact
terminals. Apply LED Test Light (US 1115) probe to center contact and
battery positive terminal. See Fig. 5 or 8. Observe test light while
cranking engine. If test light blinks, Hall Effect sender is okay. If
not, replace Hall Effect sender.
CIS-MOTRONIC (ECU) RESPONSE TO HALL EFFECT SENDER SIGNAL
1) Ground the ignition coil secondary lead. Remove coil
power stage connector and connect a LED test light (US 1115) between
terminals No. 2 and No. 3. See Fig. 7.
2) Actuate the starter, the test light should flicker. If
not, check for open wire between terminal No. 2 of the power stage
connector and terminal No. 11 of the ECU, or ECU is defective. Repair
wiring or replace ECU and recheck.
POWER STAGE RESPONSE TO CIS-MOTRONIC (ECU) SIGNAL
1) Reconnect the coil power stage connector, then disconnect
the Hall Effect sender connector and attach a voltmeter to terminal

No. 1 and No. 15 of the coil.
2) Turn the ignition on, using a jumper wire, briefly connect
the center terminal of the Hall Effect sender connector to ground. The
voltage should briefly increase to at least 2 volts then drop to zero.
If not, either the ECU or coil power stage are defective.

Fuel leakage in the engine compartment can cause an underhood fire if
the fuel comes in contact with a source of ignition.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Replace the fuel hose attached to the fuel rail and install a new
spring type self-tightening clamp.
NOTE:
Volkswagen of America estimates the new self-tightening fuel hose
clamps will be available in May of 1992. Supplement 92V058001
information had been added to this campaign.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration operates Monday
through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Eastern Time. For more
information call (800) 424-9393 or (202) 366-0123. For the hearing
impaired, call (800) 424-9153.

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WARNING: Contact with live components of ignition system while
engine is running could lead to a fatal electric shock.
RADIATOR FAN
Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15 minutes even
after engine is turned off.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
