1.1 General notes on self-diagnosis

♦ The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability. Inter‐
rogate the event memory before carrying out repairs. The
vacuum hoses and connections must be checked (to prevent
unmetered air).
♦ Fuel hoses in engine compartment must only be secured with
spring-type clips. O-type clips or screw-type clips must not be
used.
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone
drawn into the engine will not be burnt in the engine and will

system is designed to reduce the risk of a vehicle fire after a
crash by deactivating the fuel pump via the fuel pump relay.
♦ At the same time, this system also improves the engine's start‐
ing performance. When the driver's door is opened, the fuel
pump is activated for 2 seconds in order to build up pressure
in the fuel system ⇒ page 3 .
♦ Use release tool -T40138- to unplug connectors that cannot
be accessed easily.

1.2 Safety precautions when using testers

and measuring instruments during a
road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:

WARNING

Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test

equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.

1.3 Safety precautions for vehicles with

start/stop system

WARNING

Risk of injury due to automatic engine start on vehicles with

start/stop system.
♦ On vehicles with activated start/stop system (this is indi‐
cated by a message in the instrument cluster display), the
engine may start automatically on demand.
♦ Therefore it is important to ensure that the start/stop sys‐
tem is deactivated when performing repairs (switch off
ignition, if required switch on ignition again).

1.4 Safety precautions when working on the

fuel system

WARNING

The fuel system operates at extremely high pressure. This can

cause injury.
♦ If the battery is not disconnected, the fuse for the fuel
pump control unit -J538- must be removed as a precau‐
tionary measure before opening the fuel system because
the fuel pump will otherwise be activated by the contact
switch on the driver's door.
♦ Wrap a clean cloth around the connection before opening
the fuel system. Then release pressure by carefully loos‐
ening the connection.
♦ Wear protective gloves.
♦ Wear safety goggles.

duced to a residual pressure prior to opening; for proce‐
dure see ⇒ page 4 .
♦ The connection must be opened immediately after reduc‐
ing the pressure; wrap a cloth around the connection and
allow the residual pressure (approx. 7 bar) to dissipate.

Caution

To prevent irreparable damage to the electronic components

when disconnecting the battery:
♦ Observe notes on procedure for disconnecting the battery.

Even small amounts of dirt can cause malfunctions. For this rea‐
son, please observe the following rules when working on the fuel
supply system and injection system:
♦ Carefully clean connection points and the surrounding area
with engine cleaner or brake cleaner and dry thoroughly before
opening.
♦ Plug open lines and connections with suitable protective caps
immediately.
♦ Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and
cover them over. Do not use fluffy cloths.
♦ Only install clean components; replacement parts should only
be unpacked immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts
that have been previously unpacked and stored away loose
(e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).
♦ When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air.
Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
♦ Protect unplugged electrical connectors against dirt and mois‐
ture and make sure connections are dry when attaching.

1.5 Safety precautions when working on the

ignition system
To prevent injuries to persons and/or irreparable damage to the
fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
♦ For safety reasons, the battery must be disconnected before
opening the fuel system to prevent the fuel pump from being
activated by the contact switch on the driver's door.
♦ Persons wearing a cardiac pacemaker must at all times main‐
tain a safe distance from high-voltage components such as the
ignition system and gas-discharge headlights.
♦ Do not openProtected

♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting injection or ignition system wiring or tester cables.
♦ If engine is to be operated at cranking speed without it starting
(e.g. compression test), unplug connectors from ignition coils
and remove fuse for electric fuel pump.
♦ Certain tests may lead to a fault being detected by the control
unit and stored. The event memory should therefore be inter‐
rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.
♦ If the event memory has been erased, you must generate the
readiness code again.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before cleaning the engine.
♦ Always switch off the ignition before connecting or discon‐
necting the battery, otherwise the engine control unit may be
damaged.

1.6 Reducing pressure in high-pressure

section of injection system

WARNING

The fuel system operates at extremely high pressure. This can

cause injury.
♦ The injection system consists of a high-pressure section
(maximum approx. 140 bar) and a low-pressure section
(approx. 7 bar).
♦ Prior to opening the high-pressure section (e.g. when re‐
moving the high-pressure pump, fuel rail, injectors, fuel
pipes or fuel pressure sender -G247- ), the fuel pressure
in the high-pressure section must be reduced to a residual
pressure of approx. 7 bar. The procedure is described be‐
low.

Reducing fuel pressure in high-pressure section

– Connect a ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester.
– Start engine and run at idling speed.
– Select “Engine electronics” in vehicle self-diagnosis.
– Then select function read “Measured values”.
– Select measured value block 140.

– With engine idling the fuel pressure is displayed in zone 3.

– With engine idling, pull out fuse for fuel pump control unit -
J538- ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and
Fitting locations.

Note

Removing the fuse will interrupt the voltage supply »terminal 30«
for the fuel pump control unit -J538- .

– Observe fuel pressure displayed on diagnostic system.

• The fuel pressure will decrease very quickly because the me‐
chanical high-pressure pump is no longer being supplied with
fuel from the fuel tank by the fuel pump -G23- .
– Switch off ignition as soon as fuel pressure has dropped to
approx. 8 bar.

Note

Fuel pressure must not fall below 6 bar, otherwise the engine will
stall (this could damage the catalytic converter).

WARNING

There is a risk of injury: avoid skin contact with fuel.

♦ The fuel lines are still filled with fuel, however the fuel is
no longer under high by pressure.

♦ Before opening the high-pressure section, wrap a cloth

around the connection.

– The high-pressure system must be opened »immediately« af‐

ter reducing the fuel pressure; wrap a clean cloth around the
connection. Catch the escaping fuel.

Note

The pressure will increase again due to the effect of residual heat
if the high-pressure system is not opened immediately.

Additional steps required

– Refit fuse.
– Using a ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester, erase event memory and
generate readiness code in engine control unit in “Guided
Functions” mode.

Note

♦ The test box has 105 sockets. The connecting cable can be
disconnected from the test box. This means that only the cable
(and not the test box) has to be purchased for future engine
control units with different types of connectors.
♦ The smaller of the two connectors on the engine control unit
has the contacts 1 to 60. The larger of the two connectors has
the contacts 1 to 94.
♦ To carry out tests on the 60-pin wiring harness connector, the
adapter cable -V.A.G 1598/39-1- is connected to connector
-A- on the test box. For components connected to 60-pin wiring
harness connector ⇒ Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault
finding and Fitting locations.
♦ To carry out tests on the 94-pin wiring harness connector, the
adapter cable -V.A.G 1598/39-2- must be connected to con‐
nectors -A- and -B- on the test box. For components connec‐
ted to 94-pin wiring harness connector ⇒ Current flow
diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
♦ The test box -V.A.G 1598/42- is designed so it can be con‐
nected both to the wiring harness for the engine control unit
and to the engine control unit itself at the same time.
♦ The advantage of this is that the electronic engine control sys‐
tem remains fully functional when the test box is connected
(for example, for measuring signals when the engine is run‐
ning).
♦ The relevant test procedure will state whether it is necessary
to also connect the engine control unit to the test box.
♦ Always use auxiliary measuring set -V.A.G 1527 B- to connect
test equipment (e.g. voltage tester -V.A.G 1526 C- , hand-held
multimeter -V.A.G 1594 C- etc.).

struments during a road test”, page 57

1.1 General notes on ignition system

♦ The engine control unit has a self-diagnosis capability.
♦ A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of
the electrical components.
♦ Certain tests may lead to a fault being detected by the control
unit and stored. The event memory should therefore be inter‐
rogated and (if necessary) erased after completing the tests
and any repair work that may be required.
♦ If the engineProtected

unit. The event memory must then be interrogated and, if nec‐
essary, the control unit must be adapted.

1.2 Safety precautions when using testers

and measuring instruments during a
road test
Note the following if testers and measuring instruments have to
be used during a road test:

WARNING

Accidents can be caused if the driver is distracted by test

equipment while road-testing, or if test equipment is not prop‐
erly secured.
Persons sitting in the front passenger's seat could be injured if
the airbag is triggered in an accident.
• The use of test equipment while driving causes distraction.
• There is an increased risk of injury if test equipment is not
secured.
♦ Test equipment must always be secured on the rear seat
with a strap and operated from the rear seat by a second
person.

To prevent injuries to persons and/or irreparable damage to the

fuel injection and ignition system, the following must be noted:
♦ Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is
running or being turned at starter speed.
♦ The ignition must be switched off before disconnecting or con‐
necting ignition system wiring, high-voltage wires and test
leads.
♦ If you want to crank the engine at starting speed without ac‐
tually starting it (e.g. compression test), first unplug the con‐
