Test procedure
-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK .
Start diagnosis
-- Remove the engine cover with air filter.
-- Disconnect Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- electrical harness connector -1-.
-- Using a Multimeter, check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- for resistance.
Specified value: 5.0 to 8.0 Ω (at approx. 20° C)
If the specified value was not obtained:
-- Replace the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205-.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking voltage
-- Switch the ignition on.
-- Using a Multimeter, Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- electrical harness connector terminal to theMotronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay -J271- terminal 87 for voltage.
-- Switch the ignition off.
Specified value: battery voltage.
If the specified value was not obtained:
-- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
-- Install the Test Box 105 PinVAG1598/42.
If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.
-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Using a Multimeter, Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- electrical harness connector terminal 2 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) electrical harness connector T60 terminal 20 for resistance.

| 2 | 20 |
Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.
If the specified value was not obtained:
-- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
-- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
-- End of diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:
-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
