Default 16395 Camshaft Pos. Actuator Circ. Bank 2 Malfunction

Dunno what it means from a repair standpoint. I take it you don't have a Bentley manual?

Default Oddly, that code does not exist in my version of the Bentley manual..

But, here is how they describe checking it.. Obviously, you won't be albe to do much of it, as you don't likely have the test box stuff.. (neither do I, dont' feel too bad ;-) )

Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, checking

Required special tools and test equipment

VAG 1598/22 test box

Multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent)

VW 1594 connector test kit

Wiring diagrams

Checking

- Disconnect 3-pin connector from Camshaft Position -G40- sensor.

- Connect multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) to measure voltage across CMP connector terminals 1 (B+) and 3 (Ground), using adapter cables from VW 1594 connector test kit.

- Switch ignition on.

- Measure voltage between terminals 1 and 3.

- Specified value: 4.5 volts minimum

- Switch ignition off.
If voltage is OK:

- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box to Motronic ECM harness connector page 01-54

- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.

Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 11

Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 76

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 67

Specified value: max. 1.5

- Check wiring for short circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.

Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 11

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 11

Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 76

Specified value: Infinity ohm
If wiring is OK (and voltage across terminals 1 and 3 is OK):

- Replace Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.

If wiring is OK (but still no voltage across terminals 1 and 3 :

- Replace Motronic ECM -J220- page 01-55 .

- Carry out adaptation of throttle valve control module to ECM page 24-119 .

- Check readiness code page 01-57 . If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate new readiness code page 01-60 .
