Airflow Sensor Potentiometer: Checking

  1. Check sensor plate rest position and adjust if necessary. Edge of plate closest to fuel distributor must be .069-.079" (1.75-2.05 mm) below lower edge of sensor housing venturi cone. Disconnect wiring from potentiometer. Connect Test Harness (VW 1501) to potentiometer, leaving vehicle harness plug disconnected.
  2. Using Digital Multimeter (US 1119), measure resistance of potentiometer at terminals of test harness. Harness terminal No. 1 corresponds to potentiometer terminal No. 18; terminal No. 2 corresponds to potentiometer terminal No. 17; terminal No. 3 corresponds to potentiometer terminal No. 14.
  3. Reading should be greater than 4000 ohms with meter between harness terminals No. 1 and 2. Reading should be less than 1000 ohms with meter between terminals No. 2 and 3. Reading should increase evenly up to 4000 ohms as sensor plate is lifted smoothly. If readings are not correct, replace potentiometer.
