Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If specified value is not obtained:

-- Check wire via Fuse -S11- to Power Supply Relay (Terminal 30, B+) Relay 2 -J689- and Power Supply (Terminal 30, B+) Relay -J317- according to wiring diagram: Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM

-- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .

-- Generate readiness code READINESS CODE .

If specified value is obtained:

-- Measure voltage supply between connector terminals 1 + 2:

Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If specified value is not obtained:

-- Check Ground (GND) wire terminal 1 to chassis Ground (GND) according to wiring diagram: Refer to SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM

-- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .

-- Generate readiness code READINESS CODE .

If specified value is obtained:

-- Check Control Module Wires.

Control Module Wires, Checking 

-- Connect test box (VAG1598/42) to Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- wiring harness using adapter cable (VAG1598/39-1), connecting test box for wiring test.

-- Check wires between test box and connector for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

Terminal 3 + socket 60

Terminal 4 + socket 25

Wire resistance: max. 1.5Ω

-- Also check wires for short circuit to each other, to vehicle Ground (GND) and to B+.

Specified value: ∞ Ω

If no malfunctions are found in wires:

-- Replace Motor for intake flap -V157-.

-- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
