Electrical Component Testing:

CAUTION:
- Do not connect VAG1598/11 or VAG1598/12 adapters to the A/C control head itself for electrical tests or damage to the control head will result.
- With the VAG1598/11 adapter, test box socket numbers do not match the terminal numbers on the A/C control head connectors; terminal identification.
- To avoid damaging electronic components, switch the measuring range on multimeter Fluke 83 (or equivalent) be fore making connections to test sockets.

Tools Required:

- Multimeter Fluke 83 (or equivalent)
- VAG1598 test box with VAG1598/11 and 1598/12 adapter cables
- VW1594 connector test kit
- VAG1527B voltage tester
- 91120 dial thermometer (or equivalent)

Testing:

Harness Connectors:





- Check all fuses are OK per Wiring Diagram.
- Switch ignition off.
- Remove A/C control head -E87-. Control Assembly
- Connect VAG1598/11 and VAG1598/12 adapter cables to A/C control head harness connectors -A-, -B-, -C- and -D-
