Using a Multimeter , Check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40 electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage.

Specified value: about 5.0 V

Switch the ignition off.

If the specification was not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

Install the test box VAG1598/31. Refer to → 24 MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) .

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220, Replacing .

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Check the wiring connections for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

Replace the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was not OK:

Erase the DTC memory. Refer to → Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data .
Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to → Readiness Code .

End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220. Refer to → Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220, Replacing .
Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

Check the DTC memory.
If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to Diagnostic Mode 04: Reset/Delete Diagnostic Data .
If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to Readiness Code .

End of diagnosis.
