How to Replace an audi key fob not working G28 Engine Speed Sensor
Charles the Humble Technician shows how to replace the G28 Engine Speed Sensor. The sensor is located on the outside of the transmission over the flywheel gear. It sends a signal to the ECU via an uncolored wire (T55/49) which is then sent to the tachometer within the instrument cluster.
1. Engine Speed Sensor
It is located on the outside cost of audi key replacement the transmission just above the flywheel ring gear the G28 Engine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to ECU pin T55/49 using an uncolored wire. The ECU then uses this information to control the flow of fuel, timig and boost. It also sends an alert to the G5 Tachometer in instrument cluster.
The sensor serves as a reference for comparing with the G40 Camshaft Position Sensor. The ecu must be aware of when the crankshaft has reached TDC, and where the camshaft lies in order to activate the spark and injectors.
If this sensor fails when it fails, the ECU will display a P00160 error message. This indicates that the Crank Shaft is not in alignment with the Intake Camshaft. It could also indicate an issue with the chain or a jumpy chain link in the upper chain. The code won't appear without the additional information supplied by other sensors (G4 or G40).
It can be a bit difficult to test because there are different connector pins, and they all have different functions. The best way to do it is by measuring the resistance between the ECU and the sensor. When the sensor is operational, it should be reading about 1000 ohms. If you're having issues with this sensor, look for evidence of oil or coolant in the connector bay.
2. Injectors
Yesterday, when accelerating from highway paytoll at a high speed I noticed a massive drop in power. It was like the engine had run out of gas. Or, my injectors were not firing. I pulled out the spark plugs this morning, 3 were soaked with gasoline and the 4th was dry. I placed a tissue over each hole in the injector and when i start the engine without sparks, the three with gazoline jump out. The 4th one remains shut. I tested the ground connection of ECU pins 14,30 and 48/55. I got 0ohm. I assume that the problem is somewhere else.
I also tried to reset PID without success. The car can start if the G28 is unplugged and is running fine when it is connected however it is experiencing intermittent misfires at higher RPM. The coolant sensor (G62) even when it is unplugged, shows an ice temperature of -49c. I also noticed that the oil gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bars while the actual pressure is 0.
I don't know what to do. I believe that I've ruled everything else out. However, i'm afraid that I might have missed something. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! TIA!
3. Fuel Pump
The fuel pump on the g28 is activated by a signal from the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter is identical to the G4 and both function in the 80 100 200, UrS and RS2 cars so you can easily find one at a salvage yard or at a parts store. It is simple to test them to do - just put your DMM in resistance mode and measure between pins 1 (with the bump on the connector end up) and 2 (2nd from left on the black end of the connector). They must be infinite Ohms.
4. ECU
Our 20vt turbo (3B AAN, ABY and ADU) engines have an ECU that has to be aware of the speed and position of the crankshaft in order to make decisions about timing of the fuel injector, for example. It utilizes a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to accomplish this. If you have a problem with either of these, the diagnostic scanner will display codes that could lead to an engine shut down.
Some of the signs of a malfunctioning G28 sensor include an inaccurate rev counter in the gearbox, gears shifting quicker than normal and/or misfiring when in gear. It is possible that your sensor is failing and requires to be replaced if you encounter any of these symptoms. They are cheap and easy-to-find especially when they're a Bosch unit like ours. You can also choose the GM version of this unit is also a great option.
5. Tachometer
A malfunctioning engine speed sensor could be the reason behind numerous issues in your vehicle. It is a crucial part of your audi a1 key's transmission, since it relays information to the ECU about how fast or Audi Car Keys Replacement slow the car's crankshaft is turning. This sensor can cause the transmission to malfunction and other components in the car to be affected.
The G5 engine speed sensor is located at the edge of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear and sends a signal directly to the ECU at pin T55/49, via an uncolored wire. The ECU then uses and processes this signal to regulate the flow of fuel, timig and boost, and also transmitting it to the G5 tachometer inside the instrument cluster. You can determine if the sensor is in failure by examining the continuity of the sensor to the tachometer. Also, you can verify continuity between pin T55/49 of the ECU and pin T6a/1 of the instrument cluster (trace [79]) and between pin T6a/1 as well as pin T26a/12. You should observe approximately 1000 ohms of resistance between those points. This is a standard part that is found across the audi Tt key Replacement 80, 100 200, UrS and RS2 range from 1985 MC to the 1997 UrS AAN and 1995 RS2 ADU, so the best ones might be availble in wrecking yards.
