Start diagnosis

1. Disconnect Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205 electrical harness connector - 3 -.

1. Using a Multimeter , check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205 electrical terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.

Specified value: 5.0 to 8.0 ohms (at approx. 20°C)

If the specified value was not obtained

1. Replace the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205.

If the specified value was obtained

Checking voltage

1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Using a Multimeter , check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) for voltage.
3. Switch the ignition off.

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained

1. Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271 socket 2/87 for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
2. Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
3. 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.

1. Install the test box VAG1598/31. Refer to --> «24 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)»(ref-276275-S13244009452008010300000) .

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

1. Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to --> «Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220, Replacing»(ref-276276-S39982482672008010300000) .

1. Using a Multimeter , Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205 electrical harness connector terminal 2 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 electrical harness connector for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specified value was not obtained

1. Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
2. Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
3. If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK

1. Replace the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 N205.
2. Erase the DTC memory. Refer to --> «Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data»(ref-276276-S31279847122008010300000) .
3. Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to --> Readiness Code .

1. End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the Ground activation was not OK

1. Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to --> «Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220, Replacing»(ref-276276-S39982482672008010300000) .
2. Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence

1. Check the DTC memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to «Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data»(ref-276276-S31279847122008010300000) .
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to «Readiness Code»(ref-276276-S05799074302008010300000) .

End of diagnosis.
