Wire for crash signal, checking

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the

crash signal ("Crash shut-off was triggered") from
the airbag control module.

When the airbag control module sends the crash

signal to the ECM (during an accident or when
output DTM is being performed for the airbag
system), the ECM switches the Fuel Pump (FP)
off. This means that the engine will stop running
but can be started again afterward (e.g. to
remove vehicle from danger).

When the ABS/EDL control module recognizes

that a wheel is spinning, the ABS/EDL control
module generates the rough terrain signal.
When the Engine Control Module (ECM)
recognizes the rough terrain signal, combustion
misfire recognition is switched off in the Engine
Control Module (ECM).

Only check the rough terrain signal if the

malfunction "18014 (P1606) rough terrain
info/engine torque from ABS cont. mod.

memory.It is possible that the malfunction
"Combustion misfire" is also stored in DTC
memory as a side effect and it can be
disregarded.

The wire connection and rough terrain signal

are monitored by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).

Data transfer between Engine Control

Module (ECM) and CAN capable control
modules, checking

Notes:

Data exchange between individual control

modules occurs via a bus system.

The term "CAN-bus" refers to a system that

transports and distributes data.

The wire connections between the control

modules, via which data is transferred, are
referred to as data wires.

Data is transferred to the connected control

modules serially (one after the other) via these
data wires (i.e. engine speed, accelerator
position).

Checking bus system

The DTC table suggested checking the data

exchange between the Engine Control Module
(ECM) and CAN capable control modules.

- Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool

and select the control module for engine
electronics using "address word" 01 Page 01-

DTC memory of all OBD capable systems in the vehicle will be
checked.

When a control module responds with its identification, the display

indicates the number of stored errors or indicates "no malfunctions
recognized".

DTCs stored in the system are indicated in sequence and printed out.
Then the VAG1551 scan tool sends the next address word.

V.A.G - ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC HELP The automatic test sequence is over when the following indication
1 - Rapid data transfer* appears on the display:
2 - Blink code output*
If a malfunction related to the"powertrain databus" or the "CAN-bus" is
indicated:

- Check whether the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other CAN
capable control modules installed are appropriate for this vehicle (part
no. and coding).

If the correct control modules are installed:

- Check to be sure the multi-pin connectors of the

control modules are securely connected.

If multi-pin connectors are properly secured:

- Check CAN bus system

Checking a "two-line bus system"

Three or more control modules are

communicating across a "two-line bus
system".

- Analyze the DTCs stored in the memories of the

control modules.

Note:

This analysis will help you locate the cause of the

line malfunction.

Example 1:

From the DTCs stored in the memories, you have determined that control
module 1 is not communicating with control modules 2 and 3.

Control module DTCs stored in DTC memories:

1
Missing signal from control module 2
Missing signal from control module 3

2
Missing signal from control module 1

3
Missing signal from control module 1

- Switch ignition off.

- Disconnect the control modules connected across the bus wires and
check the bus wires for an open circuit.

If you cannot determine a cause for the DTC

"Powertrain databus malfunction, check
whether the DTC is caused by one of the
control modules.

All control modules that use the CAN-bus are still

disconnected. Ignition is switched off.

- Connect one of the control modules.

- Connect VAG 1551 scan tool. Switch ignition on,

and erase the DTC memory of the control
module you just connected. End scan tool output
using the "End Output" function 06.

- Switch ignition off and then on.

- Leave ignition on for 10 seconds. Then, read the

DTC memory of the control module you just
connected.

- If the DTC "Powertrain databus malfunction" is

displayed, replace the control module you just
connected.

- If the DTC "Powertrain databus malfunction" is

not displayed, connect the next control module
and repeat the procedure.
