VAG-COM
Output Tests
(VAG 1551/1552
function 03)
The Output Tests function
is used to test a
Control Module's Electrical Outputs
(and the wiring that connects it
to the various devices)
Notes:
The Outputs that can be tested and the sequence
in which they become active is controlled strictly
by the Control Module; this is not a function of
the Diagnostic Tester. To find out which Outputs
can be tested and the sequence in which they
will become active, please refer to the
Workshop Manual for your car.
It is not possible to
gracefully interrupt the Test
Sequence once it has been started. Clicking
Done, Go Back while an Output is active will
cause a "Close Controller" command to be
issued. That means you will have to wait for
the session to be re-established before continuing
with other functions.
Most Control Modules will
permit the Output
Test Sequence to be run only one time per
session. If you run the Test Sequence to
completion, VAG-COM will allow you to return
to the previous screen without closing the
session, but you may not be able to run
the Output Test Sequence again. If you
need to run the Sequence again, manually
Close the Controller and re-start the session.
Some Outputs require
additional action before
they become active. Fuel Injectors are a common
example. To activate a Fuel Injector, you must press
(and in some cases release) the gas pedal. Exact
details can be found in your Workshop Manual.
The Output Test Function
is only available on
Engine Controllers when the Engine is not running.
Warning:
Do not use the Output
Tests function on any system while
the car is in motion! Running Output Tests on the ABS
brake system can temporarily disable the brakes entirely
and cause individual wheels to lock and unlock.
I strongly suggest you
refer to the Workshop manual for
your specific car before running Output Tests on any
Control Module so you will know what to expect!
Use Done,
Go Back to return to the
Controller Info / Select Function screen.
