Lower Chamber (Differential) Pressure - Part II

  1. Close valve on pressure gauge. Install Test Harness (1315A/1) between differential pressure regulator and vehicle harness. Set multimeter to DCA 200 mA scale. Connect multimeter to test harness. Disconnect wiring to coolant temperature sensor. Connect 15,000 ohm side of Test Resistor (VW 1490) to sensor wiring.
  2. Turn on ignition and fuel pump. Differential pressure should be 10-17.5 psi (.7-1.2 kg/cm2 ) less than system pressure. Differential pressure regulator current should be 50-80 mA. If pressure is incorrect and current is correct, replace differential pressure regulator.
  3. If both pressure and current readings are incorrect, remove test harness from differential pressure regulator. Check resistance of differential pressure regulator, which should be 17.5-21.5 ohms. If reading is incorrect, replace differential pressure regulator.
  4. If reading is correct, check ground from temperature sensor to cold start valve. If ground is good, check power supply fuse. If fuse is good, check terminals on ECU connector. If connector is good, replace ECU.
