Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check

Start diagnosis

- Disconnect the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) Mechatronic (J743) electrical harness connector - 1 - by rotating counterclockwise.





Checking voltage supply, terminal 30

- Using a multimeter, check the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) Mechatronic (J743) electrical harness connector terminals for voltage.





Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).

- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the wiring and voltage were OK:

Voltage supply, terminal 15

- Using a multimeter, check the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) Mechatronic (J743) electrical harness connector terminals for voltage.





Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).

- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the wiring and voltage were OK:

- Replace Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) Mechatronic ( J743). Refer to the repair information.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
