How to Replace an audi key replacement near me G28 Engine Speed Sensor
In this video Charles the humble mechanic demonstrates how to replace the G28 engine speed sensor. This sensor is located near the edges of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear. It sends a signal to the ECU via an uncolored wire (T55/49), then to the tachometer located in the instrument cluster.
1. Engine Speed Sensor
The grey wire is situated on the outside of the transmission, just above the flywheel ring. The sensor transmits signals through the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU utilizes this information to regulate the amount of fuel and boost. It also sends signals to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster.
The sensor is used to connect the G40 Camshaft position Sensor. The ecu needs to know when the crankshaft reached TDC and also where the camshaft lies so that it can activate the spark and injectors.
If this sensor fails to function, the ECU will display a P00160 error code. This means that the Crank Shaft is not in sync with the Intake Camshaft. It could also be a sign of a chain stretch or a jumpy chain link in the upper chain. The code won't appear without the additional information provided by other sensors (G4 or G40).
Testing is a bit tricky as there are two different connector pins and they perform different functions however the best way to test it is by measuring resistance between the sensor and the ECU. When the sensor is fully operational, it should be reading around 1000 ohms. If you are having problems with this part, check for evidence of oil or coolant in the connector bay.
2. Injectors
Yesterday accelerating full speed from highway paytoll, i experienced an abrupt drop in power like the engine is running out of gas or injectors aren't firing anymore. Today, i pulled out the spark plugs, 3 were drenched in gazoline, the 4th one was dry. When i crank the engine, there are no sparks, i place a tissue on the top of each hole in the injector, the 3 drenched with gazoline jump out but the 4th stay closed. I tested the ground connection of ECU pins 14,30, and 48/55. I got zero ohm. I'm assuming the issue is elsewhere.
I also tried to reset PID but without success. The car can start when the G28 is not plugged in and it runs perfectly when it is plugged in however it is experiencing intermittent misfires at higher RPM. The temperature sensor for the coolant (G62) shows the wrong temperature of -49c even when i unplug it. I also noticed that the oil pressure gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bar, whereas the actual pressure is 0.0 when i rev the engine.
I'm not sure what to do, i believe that i've ruled out everything else. However, i'm afraid that i might have missed something. Let me know If you have any suggestions! TIA!
3. Fuel Pump
The fuel pump of the g28 receives signals 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 which is why you can easily locate one at a junkyard or at a parts store. It is easy to test them - simply put your DMM into resistance mode and determine the distance between pins 1 and 2 (with the bump on the connector's edge facing upwards). They must be infinite Ohms.
4. ECU
Our 20vt turbo (3B AAN, ABY and ADU) engines have an ECU that must be aware of the speed and position of the crankshaft in order to make a decision about timing of the fuel injectors, etc. It uses a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to achieve this. If either of these go bad you will get codes on the diagnostic scanner that could cause engine shut down.
Some of the signs of a failing G28 sensor are an inaccurate rev counter for the gearbox and gears that shift faster than normal, and/or a misfire when you are in gear. It is likely that the sensor is failing and needs to be replaced if you notice any of these signs. They're cheap and easy to find especially if they're a Bosch sensor like ours. Alternatively, the GM version of this unit is also a good choice.
5. Tachometer
A faulty engine speed sensor could be the cause of a slew of issues with your car. It's a vital component of the audi etron key's transmission because it communicates to the ECU about how fast or slow the car's crankshaft is turning. If this sensor fails, it will cause problems replacement key for audi a3 the transmission, as well as the other car's components.
The G5 engine sensor is located at the edge of transmission, above the flywheel ring. It sends a signal via a gray wire to the ECU pin T55/49. The ECU is then able to process the signal to control fuel, timig and boost, and also sends it on to the G5 tachometer in the instrument cluster. You can determine if the sensor is in failure by examining the continuity from 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 [79trace [79]) and between pin T6a/1 and pin T26a/12. It should show approximately 1000 ohms resistance between these two points. This is the same across the audi replacement key 80-100-200-RS2 series, starting from the 1985 MC up to the 1997 UrS AN and 1995 RS2 Du So, you may find good ones in wrecking yards.
