Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.
Test Requirements
- Fuses for engine electronics OK.
- Parking brake engaged.
- Battery voltage at least 12.5 V.
- Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position "P" or "N".
- All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off (radiator fan must not run during test).

Test Procedure
-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customer's complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK .
-- Disconnect the electrical harness connector -5- from the Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Valve -N316-.
Checking internal resistance
-- Using aMultimeter --, check the Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Valve -N316- for resistance

| 1 to 2 |
SPECIFIED VALUE: 25 - 35 Ω (@ approx. 20° C)
If specified value is not obtained:
-- Replace the Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Valve -N316-. Refer to Component Locations Overview .
If specified value is obtained:
Checking voltage
-- Using a Multimeter --, Check the wiring connection from the electrical harness connector terminal to the Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay -J363- terminal through the fuse for an open circuit.
| Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) ValveN316Electrical Harness Connector Terminal | Specified value |
|---|---|
| 1 to Ground (GND) | Battery positive (+) |
| 2 to Battery positive (+) | Battery positive (+) |
-- Operate the starter briefly.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
-- Switch the ignition off.
If there is no voltage:
Checking wiring connections
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
-- Connect the Test Box 105 Pin VAG1598/42 with Adapter Cable1598/39-1. Refer to Component Locations Overview .
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REPLACING
-- Using aMultimeter, check the following wire connection for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.
If the specification is not obtained:
-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
If specified value is not obtained:
-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If no malfunctions are found in wiring:
-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REPLACING .
-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
