On Board Diagnostic (OBD), technical data
Equipment
- Data is transmitted between the control module and the VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST) via operating mode "Rapid Data Transfer".
- Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory is designed for permanent memory and is therefore not dependent on voltage supply.
- Display of stored DTCs occurs after initiation of display mode. Refer to «Engine should run at idle»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__engine-should-run-at-idle) .
- DTC memory must be erased after malfunction is repaired. Refer to «Engine should run at idle»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__engine-should-run-at-idle) .
Important!
- Readiness code must always be regenerated after DTC memory is erased or when voltage supply to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- is interrupted. Refer to «Readiness code, generating»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__readiness-code-generating) .
- If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a degradation of emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83-. Clarification of this lamp. Refer to «Significance of Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__significance-of-malfunction-indicator-lamp-mil) .
- Engine Electronic Power Control (EPC) -relevant malfunctions are indicated by the Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning lamp.
Significance of Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a worsening of emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
Scheme 85
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Note. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) can either blink or remain lit continuously. DTC memory should be checked in both cases. Refer to Engine should run at idle . Blinking: There is a malfunction that can cause damage to the catalytic converter (e.g. combustion misfire). In this case, vehicle must only be driven at reduced power! Continuously lit: There is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Motronic ECM and automatic transmission (if equipped). If there are driveability problems or if there is a customer complaint and the MIL is not lit, DTC memory must be checked. There may be DTCs stored that do not cause the MIL to light up immediately, but only if the malfunction is recognized again after repeated engine starts.
Function test
- Switch on ignition
MIL must light up.
If MIL does not light up when ignition is switched on
- Check wire from ECM to MIL as follows
| Cause: MIL is not being activated or is not lighting due to an open circuit. | Corrective action: Switch off ignition. Connect VAG1598/31 test box. Refer to Electrical testing using VAG1598/31 test box . Bridge sockets 2 and 47 of test box. Switch on ignition. MIL must light up. If MIL lights up: Replace Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) - without metal anti-theft housing, replacing . If MIL does not light up: Switch off ignition. Locate short circuit or open circuit from ECM to MIL (instrument cluster) and repair. | |
|---|---|---|
| If no malfunctions are found in wire to MIL | ||
| Malfunction cause | > | Replace faulty instrument cluster: Refer to 90 INSTRUMENTS |
If MIL does not light up when ignition is switched on, continue test as follows
- Start engine and let run at idle
MIL must go out after a few seconds.
If MIL does not go out
- Check DTC Memory. Refer to «Engine should run at idle»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__engine-should-run-at-idle) .
If there no DTCs are stored
| Cause: Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is constantly activated due to a short circuit to Ground (GND). | Corrective action: Switch off ignition. Connect VAG1598/31 test box. Refer to Electrical testing using VAG1598/31 test box . Measure wire resistance between socket 47 of test box and vehicle Ground (GND). Specification: infinite Ohm ( infinity ohms ) If specified value is not obtained: Short circuit to Ground (GND) in activation wire from ECM to MIL. Locate malfunction using wiring diagram and repair. | |
|---|---|---|
| If specified value of infinite Ohm ( infinity ohms ) is obtained, and no short circuit to Ground (GND) is found | ||
| Malfunction cause | > | Replace faulty Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) - without metal anti-theft housing, replacing . |
Safety precautions
If special test equipment is required during test drive, observe the following
| WARNING | To reduce the risk of accident, always proceed as follows during road tests: Audi TT Coupe: Use only the VAS5051 or VAG1551 to read measuring value blocks. Always secure the tester to the rear seat and have it operated from there by a second technician. Due to size constraints, the passenger seat should be adjusted as far forward as possible and it's seatback should be adjusted to the most forward engaged position using the hand wheel. Do not use the seatback release lever for this. Audi TT Roadster: Use only the VAG1552 with deactivated passenger-side airbag. Deactivate passenger-side airbag using key switch in the glove compartment. Re-activate passenger-side airbag after completing work. |

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table
Note. When malfunctions occur in monitored sensors or components, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in the DTC memory with a description of the malfunction type. Electronic Power Control (EPC) -relevant malfunctions are indicated by the EPC warning lamp. Malfunctions that degrade emissions are also indicated by an Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) that is also located in the instrument cluster. There are malfunctions that cause the MIL to light up immediately after recognition. Malfunctions can also occur that do not cause the MIL to light up immediately, but only if those malfunctions are recognized again after repeated engine starts. Malfunctions that occur only sporadically are identified by the letters "SP" (sporadic malfunction) on the VAG1551 scan tool display. The word sporadic means "appearing or occurring at irregular intervals, occasional".
- The DTC table is organized by the 5 digit code at left.
- If a stored DTC does not recur within the next 40 warm-up cycles, the DTC will be erased automatically.
- Do not immediately replace components that the VAG1551 suggests are faulty, instead: Check wire connections and harness connectors to these components according to wiring diagram. Also check Ground (GND) connections according to the wiring diagram. This is particularly valid when malfunctions are displayed as "sporadically occurring" (SP).
- If the connector is disconnected from the ECM or the battery is disconnected, all adaptation values in the control module are erased. The DTC memory content will however remain intact. If the engine is started after this, a rough, uneven idle can result. In this case, the engine must be allowed to run at idle for a few minutes until the adaptation procedure has been completed.
- After erasing the DTC memory. Refer to «Engine should run at idle»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__engine-should-run-at-idle) , generate the readiness code. Refer to «Readiness code, generating»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__readiness-code-generating) .

Readiness code
The readiness code appears as an 8-digit display in measuring value block 086, display field 1. Each of the 8 digits is allocated to a specific exhaust related system.
If, due to a test which needs to be completed, the function of these systems is checked via output DTM, the position allocated to that system in the 8-digit display is switched from "1" to "0" if the test is completed with "OK".
If a test is completed, but indicated as "not OK", a DTC will be stored in DTC memory. Check DTC Memory. Refer to Engine should run at idle .
When readiness code is generated after a successfully performed test, it reads "00000000".
Readiness code is reset to "11111111" if
- DTC memory was erased
- Voltage supply to ECM was cut off (e.g. connector disconnected, battery disconnected)
In this case, readiness code must be re-generated. Refer to Readiness code, generating .
During driving operation in various load conditions, exhaust relevant tests are performed by the control module within a "short trip" and readiness code is generated on its own. In this case, however, concluding control possibilities are not available, meaning that it will not be indicated that all positions of the readiness code are set to "0".

| WARNING | To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following: Only disconnect and reconnect wires for injection and ignition system, including test leads, when ignition is turned off. If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (e.g. for compression testing), disconnect connector from ignition coils and from fuel injectors. It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, DTC memory should therefore be checked and erased if necessary. Always switch ignition off before cleaning engine. The battery should only be disconnected and reconnected when the ignition is turned off, since otherwise the Engine Control Module (ECM) can be damaged. |
If special testing equipment is required during test drive, observe the following
| WARNING | To reduce the risk of accident, always proceed as follows during road tests: Use of instruments in Audi TT Coupe: Use only the VAS5051 or VAG1551 to read measuring value blocks. Always secure the tester to the rear seat and operate it from there by a second technician. Due to size constraints, the passenger seat should be adjusted as far forward as possible and the seatback should be adjusted to the most forward engaged position using the hand wheel. Do not use the seatback release lever for this. Audi TT Roadster: Use only the VAG1552 with deactivated passenger-side airbag in the Audi TT Roadster. Deactivate passenger-side airbag using key switch in the glove compartment. Re-activate passenger-side airbag after completing work. |
| WARNING | Fuel system is under pressure! Place a cloth around connection point before opening system. Then release pressure by carefully loosening connection point. |
Rules of cleanliness
When working on the fuel supply or fuel injection systems, the following "6 rules of cleanliness" should be carefully observed
- Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.
- Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover. Use lint-free cloths only!
- Carefully cover opened components or seal them if repairs are not carried out immediately.
- Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (in tool boxes etc.)
- When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air if it can be avoided. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
- Disconnected electrical harness connectors: Protect from dirt and moisture. Be sure harness connector is dry before connecting.

Electrical testing using VAG1598/31 test box
Note. If the Engine Control Module (ECM) is equipped with a metal anti-theft housing (for theft prevention), the metal anti-theft housing must be removed from the ECM to connect the test box. Procedure. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) - with metal anti-theft housing, replacing . After repairs are complete, the metal anti-theft housing must be reinstalled. VAG1598/31 test box is designed so that it can be simultaneously connected to the wiring harness at the Engine Control Module (ECM) and also to the ECM itself. This is advantageous because electronic engine control remains fully functional (e.g. measurement of signals with engine running) when the test box is attached. Relevant test procedures note if Engine Control Module (ECM) should also be connected to the test box or not. Always use VAG1594A connector test kit to attach measurement devices (e.g. VAG1527B voltage tester, VAG1526 multimeter etc.).
| CAUTION | To reduce the risk of damage to electronic components, switch on power to components before connecting test leads and observe test requirements. |

Special tools and equipment
- VAS5051 Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system with VAG5051/1 Adapter
or
- VAG1551 Scan Tool with VAG1551/3B Adapter
- Engine leak detection spray G 001 800 A1
Note. Negative pressure in the intake system sucks in the leak detection spray with the unmetered air. Leak detection spray decreases ignition quality and performance of the fuel mixture. This causes a reduction in engine speed and a sharp increase of CO content. It is absolutely necessary to follow the safety precautions listed on the leak detection spray can.
Work sequence
- Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool and select control module for engine electronics using "address word" 01. Refer to «VAS5051 vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system orVAG1551 Scan Tool (ST), connecting and selecting functions»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__vas5051-vehicle-diagnostic-testing-and-information) .

Function of O2S control before Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
Note. The oxygen sensor compares oxygen content of air with residual oxygen content in the exhaust and delivers a voltage signal to the control module. The voltage signal "mixture rich (too little residual oxygen)" is 0.7 to 1.1 V (relative to reference Ground). The voltage signal "mixture lean (too much residual oxygen)" is -0.1 to +0.3 V (relative to reference Ground). At the transition from "rich" to "lean" and vice versa ( lambda = 1.0) voltage will jump from between 0.7 and 10.1 V to between -0.1 and +0.3.3 V (or vice versa). Due to the steep voltage jump, oxygen sensor control cannot maintain the ideal mixture of lambda = 1.0 as constant. Oxygen sensor control constantly fluctuates back and forth between the conditions "slightly too lean" and "slightly too rich".
Note. If voltage change does not occur or occurs only slowly, the following malfunctions could be present: Slits or holes in sensor head clogged. Sensors suffered thermal overload. Transition resistance in signal wire or Ground (GND) wire. Sensor too cold, sensor heating not functioning. Sensor damaged by contact spray or similar substance (contact spray is drawn through the fine hollow interiors by thermal fluctuations and capillary action into the electrical wiring in sensor). Sensor damaged by silicon vapors (the use of sealants containing silicon leads to trace elements of silicon being taken in by the engine. These silicon elements are not combusted and damage the oxygen sensor).

The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system causes the catalytic converter to heat up more quickly, resulting in earlier operational readiness following a cold start.
Principle
Due to over-enrichment of the mixture during the cold start phase, there is an increased amount of un-burned carbon monoxide in the exhaust. Secondary Air Injection (AIR) improves secondary oxidation in the catalytic converter and therefore reduces emissions. The heat produced by secondary oxidation greatly reduces start-up time for the catalytic converter, therefore improving exhaust quality during the cold start phase significantly.
Function
- In the cold start phase, the ECM -2- activates the secondary air pump -12- via the relay for secondary air pump -1-. Air reaches the combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) -10-.
- The Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve -3- is activated in parallel, which allows the vacuum to reach the combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) -10- and the vacuum diaphragm for boost pressure regulation -7-. The combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
- To prevent unnecessary torque losses, secondary air is routed to the turbine wheel of the turbocharger -8- so that air can get directly into the catalytic converter. For this, the boost pressure regulation pressure unit opens the boost pressure valve -7-. The pressure unit, designed as a double reservoir, has a vacuum connection for this on the intake side.

EPC system, function
For EPC, the throttle valve is not operated by a cable from the accelerator pedal. There is no mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve.
The position of the accelerator pedal is communicated to the Engine Control Module (ECM) via two sensors for accelerator pedal position (variable resistances; stored in one housing) that are connected with the accelerator pedal.
The accelerator pedal position (driver's intention) is a main input unit for the ECM.
Operation of the throttle valve occurs via an electric motor (throttle valve actuator) in the throttle valve control module. This is true across the entire engine speed and engine load spectrum.
The throttle valve is operated by the throttle valve actuator according to the instructions of the ECM.
With ignition switched on and engine off, the ECM activates the throttle valve actuator precisely according to the sensor for accelerator pedal position. This means, if the accelerator pedal is depressed half way, the throttle valve actuator opens the throttle valve to the same degree; i.e. throttle valve would be opened half way.
With engine running (under load), the ECM can open or close the throttle valve independently of the sensor for accelerator pedal position.
This means, for example, that the throttle valve could be fully opened even though the accelerator pedal has only been depressed half way. This has the advantage of preventing torque losses at the throttle valve.
In addition to this, it results in significantly better values relative to emissions and consumption under certain load conditions.
The required engine torque can be achieved by the Engine Control Module (ECM) via the optimal combination of throttle valve diameter and boost pressure.
It would be incorrect to think that EPC consists of only one or two components. EPC is much more of a system containing all components that contribute to recognizing, controlling and monitoring the position of the throttle valve, e.g. sensor for accelerator pedal position, throttle valve control module, EPC warning lamp, Engine Control Module (ECM).
EPC warning lamp -K132- in instrument cluster, significance
EPC is an abbreviation and stands for Electronic Power Control.
Location of EPC warning lamp
The Engine Control Module (ECM) checks all components that are important for the function of the EPC system after the ignition is switched on.
During the test of these components, the ECM switches the EPC warning lamp on.
If malfunctions are recognized in the EPC system during operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the EPC warning lamp in the instrument cluster. (These malfunctions are listed in the DTC table). An entry is made in the DTC memory at the same time.

Throttle valve control module -J338-, checking
The following components are located in the housing for the throttle valve control module
- Throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G186-. (This is an electric motor that is activated by the ECM. This electric motor opens the throttle valve against spring pressure.)
- Angle sensor -1- for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G187
- Angle sensor -2- for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G188
Note. The housing for the throttle valve control module must not be opened. The angle sensors are designed as potentiometers (variable resistances). They communicate the position of the throttle valve to the Engine Control Module (ECM) fully independent of each other. The potentiometers cannot be mechanically adjusted. Adjustment is performed in Basic Setting (function 04) using the VAS5051 tester or the VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST).
Throttle valve control module -J338-, adapting
The adaptation teaches the Engine Control Module (ECM) various positions of the throttle valve when the ignition is on and the engine is stopped. These positions are stored in the control module The return communication regarding the position of the throttle valve occurs via the two angle sensors for throttle drive.
An adaptation must always be performed when the throttle valve control module -J338- or the Engine Control Module (ECM) are removed and installed (or replaced) or if voltage supply to the Engine Control Module (ECM) is interrupted.
The learning process (adaptation) occurs
- Via initiation of Basic Setting (function 04) display group 60 with ignition on.
- Automatically if the ignition is switched on for at least 6 seconds without operating the starter and accelerator pedal and the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes "adaptation required". (There will be no notification of whether the adaptation was successful, however). Adaptation required is recognized if stored voltage values from the angle sensors do not match the actual measured voltage values within a certain tolerance range.
Note. Engine will not start during automatic adaptation.

- Press buttons -0-, -6- and -0- to select "display group number 060" and press -Q- button to confirm input.
After pressing Q-button, throttle valve actuator will be switched on without current.
In this condition, the throttle valve will be drawn into an emergency position by a mechanical spring, which is located in the throttle valve control module. The values supplied by the two angle sensors in this emergency position are stored by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Next, the throttle valve is opened by a certain value. If this value is reached, the throttle valve actuator is once again de-energized. Now, the mechanical spring must close the throttle valve to the previously learned emergency position within a specified time (spring test).
Then, the throttle valve is closed by the throttle valve actuator; the values supplied by the angle sensors in the throttle valve control moduleare stored by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
If the Engine Control Module (ECM) should de-energize the throttle valve actuator during driving operation, this is expressed by an increased, surging idle speed (RPM). The engine accepts fuel only after great delay.

Percent indication in display field 1 must rise uniformly. Tolerance range of 3 to 93% is not completely utilized.
Percent indication in display field 2 must decrease uniformly. Tolerance range 97 to 3 % is not used completely during this.
Note. The reason why the value indicated in display field 1 climbs, while the value indicated in display field 2 decreases, has to do with the fact that the potentiometers (angle sensors) in the throttle valve control module run in opposite directions. This means that the voltage of angle sensor 1 runs from 0 to 5 volts. (The more the throttle valve is opened, the larger the voltage; percent indication climbs). The voltage of angle sensor 2 runs from 5 to 0 volts. (The more the throttle valve is opened, the lower the voltage; the percentage decreases).

Wiring for fuel level signal, checking
Note. The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the fuel level signal from the instrument cluster. The processed signal enters at terminal 30 of the ECM and is used to determine the cause of certain recognized malfunctions (e.g. combustion misfires).
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to ECM, do not connect ECM. Refer to «Electrical testing using VAG1598/31 test box»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__electrical-testing-using-vag159831-test-box) .
- Check wiring connection from terminal 30 at test box to instrument cluster for open circuit and short circuit to B+/Ground (GND)
Crash signal, checking
The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from the airbag control module.
When the airbag control module sends the crash signal to the ECM (during an accident or when output DTM is being performed for the airbag system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP) off. This means that the engine will stop running but can be started again afterward (e.g. to remove vehicle from danger).
When the DTC "Crash-signal from airbag control module, implausible signal" is stored, the ECM cannot switch off the Fuel Pump (FP) during an accident involving airbag deployment, because the ECM cannot recognize the crash signal from the airbag control module, e.g. due to a wiring problem between ECM and airbag control module.
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to ECM but do not connect ECM: Refer to «Electrical testing using VAG1598/31 test box»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__electrical-testing-using-vag159831-test-box)

Refer to Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations
If no malfunctions are found in wiring
- Check DTC Memory of airbag control module.
Data exchange, Motronic / ABS (CAN-bus), checking
Note. Data exchange between individual control modules occurs via a bus system. The term "bus" refers to a system that transports and distributes data. The wire connections between the control modules, via which data is transferred, are referred to as data wires. Data is transferred to the connected control modules serially (one after the other) across the data wires.
Checking bus system
The DTC table suggested checking the data exchange between the Engine / Transmission / ABS control modules.
- Check whether correct engine, transmission (if installed) and ABS control modules are installed in this vehicle (part numbers) and whether coding is appropriate. (Refer to indicated ID codes for control modules). If correct control modules are installed
- Check DTC memory of the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (if installed).
- Check DTC memory of ABS control module
Refer to 01 ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD)
If a malfunction involving "... databus" or "... communication" is indicated
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to ECM but do not connect ECM: Refer to «Electrical testing using VAG1598/31 test box»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__electrical-testing-using-vag159831-test-box) .
- Check data wires from ECM pin 60 and pin 58 to TCM (if installed) and to ABS control module for open circuit and short circuit.
Refer to Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations
- If wiring connections are OK, replace ECM, TCM (if installed) and ABS control modules one at a time as a test.
The following systematic procedure is useful for troubleshooting if three or more control modules are communicating via a "two-line bus system"
- Analyze DTCs stored in memories of control modules. Refer to «Data exchange, Motronic / ABS (CAN-bus), checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-amu__data-exchange-motronic-abs-can-bus)

General notes on ignition system
- The Engine Control Module (ECM) is equipped with On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
- For the electric components to work properly, a voltage of at least 11.5 V is required.
- It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, the DTC memory should therefore be checked and erased if necessary.
| WARNING | To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, always observe the following: Only disconnect and reconnect wires for the injection and ignition system, including test leads, when the ignition is turned off. If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (e.g. for compression testing), disconnect connectors from the ignition coils and from the fuel injectors. It is possible that the control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, the DTC memory should therefore be checked and erased if necessary. Always switch the ignition off before cleaning the engine. The battery should only be disconnected and reconnected when the ignition is turned off, since otherwise the Engine Control Module (ECM) can be damaged. |

Component location. Refer to Overview of component locations
If the knock sensors fail, knock control is switched off and the ignition angle is retarded slightly since a cylinder allocation is no longer possible.
The engine will continue to run without a Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor signal and can also be restarted
- When a malfunction is recognized, the Engine Control Module (ECM) initiates one ignition spark per cylinder for each crankshaft rotation.
- The offset of one engine rotation will have no noticeable effect on the injection quality. Instead of occurring with intake valves open, injected fuel will be "pre-loaded" (in front of closed intake valve). This has only a minor effect on the quality of the mixture preparation.
Checking activation
- If installed, slide back rubber boot on connector for Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, but leave connector connected.
