Notes on test table 

  • The socket designations of adapter V.A.G 1598/21 are identical to the control module -J104 contact designations in wiring diagram.

Refer to Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations binder

  • If the readings obtained deviate from the specifications, carry out repair measure in the right-hand part of the table.

Refer to Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations binder

  • Continuity checks with adapter set V.A.G 1594 A (bridging).
  • If the measured figures only deviate slightly from the specifications, clean sockets and connectors of the testers and adapter cables (with contact spray G 000 700 04 ) and repeat check. Before replacing components, check wiring and connections and also, particularly for specifications of less than 10 Ω , repeat resistance check on the component.
