📋 Procedure
- Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 or vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552 and select engine electronics control unit with "“address word 01”". Engine must be idling. (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine electronics control unit .)
- Press buttonss 0 and 8 for function "“Read measured value block”" and confirm entry with Q button.
- Press buttons 0, 0 and 6 for "“Display group number 6”" and confirm entry with Q button.
- Observe display in display zone 4.
- Activate cruise control system
- Perform a road test and exceed a speed of 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph) once. Then switch off engine and leave selector lever in position 2, 3 or D.
- Pull on handbrake.
- Press → button.
- Press buttons 0 and 6 for function "“End output”" and confirm entry with Q button.
- Switch off ignition.
- Connect adapter cable, 121-pin V.A.G 1598/31 to control unit wiring harness.
- Switch on ignition.
- Connect multimeter to measure voltage between the following sockets of adapter cable, 121-pin V.A.G 1598/31 and measure voltage at the specified switch positions.
- Socket 4/5 + 45 switch B to "“ON”" = 0 V switch B to "“RES”" = battery voltage
- Socket 4/5 + 44 switch A not pressed = 0 V switch A pressed = battery voltage
- Socket 4/5 + 14 switch B to "“OFF”" = 0 V switch B to "“ON”" = battery voltage
- Socket 4/5 + 46 switch B to "“OFF”" = 0 V switch B to "“ON”" = battery voltage
- Measure voltage on operating switch directly.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
