Note:

The test must be carried out during a road test because the knock sensor system is only active at a certain engine speed.

Road test car and compare display with specified values for knock sensor system in display field 1-4.


WARNING!

Continuation => page 28-8



Connector corroded

-Clean contact


Knock sensor incorrectly torqued

-Loosen knock sensor and re-tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft lb)



Components loose on engine

-Tighten components



Poor fuel quality

-Change fuel



One cylinder reading is very different from the others

-Connector corroded

-Continuation => page 28-8



Engine failure

-Check compression => Repair Manual, 1.8 Liter 4-Cyl. 5V Turbo Engine Mechanical, Engine Code(s): AEB, ATW, Repair Group 15



Components loose on engine

-Tighten components



Continuation

Disconnect 3-pin connector from Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61-.

Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to measure resistance between connector terminals, using adapter cables from VW 1594 connector test kit.

Connector terminal 1 to terminal 2

Connector terminal 1 to terminal 3

Connector terminal 2 to terminal 3

Specified value: Inf Ohms


If resistance is OK (no continuity):

Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to Motronic ECM harness connector => page 01-70.

Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.

Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 68

Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 67

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 2

Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms


Check wiring for short circuits between terminals of 3-pin connector, and between connector and ECM/test box.

Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 68

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 68

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 67

Specified value: Inf Ohms


If the wiring is OK:

Loosen knock sensor and re-tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft lb).

If the malfunction still exists (stored in DTC memory):

Replace Knock Sensor (KS) 1 -G61-.


Check readiness code => page AUDI-B5-FU02-01-002-0101-70. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate new readiness code => page AUDI-B5-FU02-01-002-0201-73.

Disconnect 3-pin connector from Knock Sensor (KS) 2 -G66-.


Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to measure resistance between connector terminals, using adapter cables from VW 1594 connector test kit.

Connector terminal 1 to terminal 2

Connector terminal 1 to terminal 3

Connector terminal 2 to terminal 3

Specified value: Inf Ohms


If resistance is OK (no continuity):

Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to Motronic ECM harness connector => page AUDI-B5-FU02-01-001-1201-67.

Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.

Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 60

Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 67

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 2

Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms

Check wiring for short circuits between terminals of 3-pin connector, and between connector and ECM/test box.

Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 60

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 60

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 67

Specified value: Inf Ohms


If the wiring is OK:

Loosen knock sensor and re-tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft lb).

If the malfunction still exists (stored in DTC memory):

Replace Knock Sensor (KS) 2 -G66-.


Check readiness code => page AUDI-B5-FU02-01-002-0101-70. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate new readiness code => page AUDI-B5-FU02-01-002-0201-73.

It makes more sense when you read it in the manual and not copy and paste it.

Reset the fault codes. That automatically resets the readiness code.
