SERVICE INFORMATION

The repair information that follows is new and will be integrated with the next Repair Manual update.

UPDATE TO REPAIR GROUP 24

NOTE: *  The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is new for the 1998 model year.
  • A note should be added to the Repair Manual index to refer to this Technical Bulletin for information on checking the CAN-bus between the Motronic ECM and the ABS control module.
  • There is also a CAN-bus between the Motronic ECM and the Transmission TCM. Take care to choose the correct procedures when being referred to the checking of a CAN-bus circuit.

LEAK DETECTION PUMP (LDP) -V144-, CHECKING

ELECTRICAL CHECK 

Disconnect harness connector for Leak Detection Pump (LDP) -V 144-.

Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between terminals -1- and -3- of LDP and check resistance. See Fig 1 .

  • Specified value: 640 - 720 ohm

Connect multimeter US1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) between terminals -2- and -3- of LDP and check resistance.

  • Specified value: 17.5 - 27.5 ohm

If resistance is not OK:

Replace leak detection pump.

VOLTAGE SUPPLY, CHECKING 

Disconnect harness connector for LDP -V144-.

Connect VAG 1527B LED voltage tester between connector terminal -3- (B+) and engine Ground (GND). See Fig 2 .

Start engine and let idle.

  • LED must light up.

If LED does not light:

Check fuse for LDP -V144-.

Check wiring for open circuit between terminal -3- and fuse, according to wiring diagram.

  • Specified value: max. 0.5 ohm

Check fuel pump relay.

CAN-BUS DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN MOTRONIC ECM AND ABS CONTROL MODULE, CHECKING

DTC table indicates that CAN-bus be checked.

Check DTC memory of ABS control module. See Repair Manual, ABS/EDL/ASR On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Repair Group 01.

If a DTC pertaining to the CAN-bus is stored:

Switch ignition off.

Connect VAG 1598/19 test box to ECM harness connector.

Check wiring from terminals C1 and C19 on Engine Control Module (ECM) to ABS control module for open or short circuit. See Fig 1 . See Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations binder.

If wiring connection is OK, replace either ABS control module or ECM.
