Notes:
◆ The test box V.A.G 1598/31 is designed for simultaneous connection to the engine control unit wiring harness
and the actual engine control unit.
◆ This has the advantage that the electronic engine management system remains fully operational with the
test box connected (e.g. measurement of signals with engine running).
◆ Whether or not the engine control unit is additionally to be connected to the test box is indicated in the
appropriate test sequences.
◆ Use portable multimeter V.A.G 1526 or multimeter V.A.G 1715 and diode test lamp V.A.G 1527 for testing.
◆ Always use auxiliary leads from adapter set V.A.G 1594 for connection of testers to test box V.A.G 1598/31.
◆ After reconnecting the engine control unit, adapt it to the throttle valve control part.
