Best Audi quattro definition ever by 4 wheeler mag
"I hope that I will soon forget the Audi Quattro. Until I do, I shall continue to worship that bitch goddess Success at the expense of friends, family, honesty and decency - anything to be in a position to have one. The Quattro is evil, an insidious witch in the guise of state-of-the-art engineering, a circe who commands your obedience every waking moment and a succubus who haunts every dream. She's the seductress who recreates That First Time all over again, who snips all your tethers to innocence and changes your life forever." - Four Wheeler Magazine, August 1982

Cam Position Sensor (CPS) info
The Cam Position Sensor is used by the ECU (Engine Control Unit, i.e. the Motronic Computer) to figure out where the pistons are early in the starting cycle rather than waiting for the crank position sensor to come around. If the ECU does not get a cam position sensor signal, it will not fire the fuel pump relay. Once the engine is running, the ECU will use the crank sensor position sensor to keep track of things. If the cam sensor fails, a "2113" blink code will be thrown (into memory) and check engine light will come on. If it fails while running, you can keep driving but as soon as you turn the engine off, you are done. The engine will NOT re-fire until you fix the cam sensor.

Fuel Pump Relay (J17) Function -
The ECU controls the fuel pump (FP) relay (J17)(PN 4D0 951 253) (located under the driver's side (LHD) knee bolster, right end of relay panel). The ECU will not engage the J17 until it has a signal from the cam position sensor (G40) during start-up and then the engine speed sensor (G28) during running. However, the FP relay does more than that.
Update: April 4/09: 4D0 951 253 which was the 208 relay is now superceded by 4D0 951 253B, the 372 relay. KATE's verbiage is:
"contact close relay for fuel pump
relay location/code no.: 6/372
to be used for code no.: 208"
Follow the URL for more info as to why the J17 is SO important.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/133907.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/133907.phtml</a</li></ul>

New AAN ECU connector pin-out with wire colours and comments
This should help if you are trying to track down a problem (electrical pun intended). You will still need a wiring diagram from the Bentley:
Pin-Out for the AAN ECU (or Engine Control Module (ECM)) T55 connector
The AAN ECU connector has 55 pin positions. The pins are arranged in three rows. The longest row has 19 pins, Pins 1 through 19. Pin 1 is nearest the metal release lever on the harness connector. The middle row is Pins 20 through 37, with Pin 20 nearest the metal release lever. The last row is Pins 38 through 55 with Pin 38 nearest the metal release lever. Not all pins are used.
The following are the Pins and their assignment. The information is taken from the Robert Bentley manual with comments based on VAG service manual 143 (VAG143) information and some experience.
The Letter/Number, e.g. N71, are for the devices that are either being controlled or are sending a signal to the ECU. The Letter/Letter code is the wire colour code. Not all pins are used - especially on the standard transmission cars.
Wire Colour Codes used in the pin-out list below:
BK = Black
BL = blue
BR = Brown
CL = Clear
G = green
GY = gray
LT G = Light green
OR = orange
R= red
V = Violet
W = white
Y = Yellow
Examples:
W/V = white with a violet stripe
R/BK = red with a black stripe
Pin - Assignment - Device Code - wire colour - Comment (if any)
1/55 - Output to Power Output Stage - N122- G/W- for Coil No. 1 (N122 Pin 4/4)
2/55 - Output to Power Output Stage - N122 - V/BK - for Coil No. 2 (N122 Pin 3/4)
3/55 - Output to Fuel Pump Relay - J17 - BR/Y - ECU triggers the relay after it gets the G40 cam position sensor signal
4/55 - Idle Air Control Valve (aka Idle Stabilization Valve (ISV)) - N71 - W/Y the ISV is used to control the idle, e.g. when the air conditioning compressor comes on.

9/55 - Barometric sensor - G16 - GY/BK - provides a signal to the ECU to help control boost at higher altitudes - between 1000 and 4000 meters - prevents the turbo from spinning over 155000 rpm.

42/55 -Gear selection input - Automatic only
43/55 - Not used
44/55 - Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor - G42 - BR/BL - the ECU uses this signal to dial back timing (and power) to prevent pinging if the intake air temp is too high

ECU clearing and removal procedure
To clear engine fault codes in the AAN ECU, you can either disconnect the battery for 30 seconds (you will need the Radio code) or you can pull the ECU circuit breaker.
If you have accessed the ECU before, i.e. carpet is cut, etc. then you can clear the ECU codes by pulling the ECU circuit breaker (S64) for 30 seconds, in the red holder in the photo. (Photo courtesy of SJM Autotechnik (http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/troubl...ng/20vpin.html)
To remove the ECU from the car, try this link:
http://www.s-cars.org/postnuke/modul...rder=0&thold=0
If it doesn't work, you can find it via entering this in Google search window:
