Work step 7: Checking oxygen sensor heating
- Engine running at 1800 to 2200 RPM.
NOTE:
Use VAG1788/10 RPM adjuster to achieve increased engine speed.
| Rapid data transfer HELP Select function XX |
Indicated on display:
- Press buttons -0- and -8- to select "Read Measuring Value Block" and press -Q- button to confirm input.
| Read Measuring Value Block Q Input display group number XXX |
Indicated on display:
- Press buttons -0-, -4- and -1- to select "display group number 041" and press -Q- button to confirm input.
| Read Measuring Value Block 41 → 1 2 3 4 |
Indicated on display:
- Check specified values in display fields 1 and 3
NOTE:
Increasing engine speed accelerates the obtaining of specified values.

smaller than 2 kOhm | Htng.bef.cat.ON Htng.bef.cat.OFF (Indication jumps back and forth between ON/OFF) |
Important Notes to display fields 1 and 3:
- If oxygen sensors have not yet reached their operating temperature, there will be no indication in display fields 1 and 3, i.e. they will both be empty.
- After reaching operating temperature of the two oxygen sensors, a resistance of less than 2 kOhm must be indicated in display fields 1 and 3.
- Do not continue test until a resistance of less than 2 kOhm is indicated in display fields 1 and 3.
