Checking electrical circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Audi A3 and 2006 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

-- Install the test box. Refer to Repair information.

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, REPLACING .

-- Using a multimeter, check the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor -G70- electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- electrical harness connector T121 terminals for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

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

-- Replace Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor -G70-.

Final procedures

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 .

-- End of diagnosis.
