Tip: It may be necessary to disconnect or de-pin the wires from the G31 connector to check for
proper crimping and seating of the pins.
If damage is found to the pins or wire at
the G31 boost pressure sensor, repair
the harness using VAS 1978B (Figure
1).
Please use gold-plated contacts to
repair the damaged wire(s) (000 979
025 EA).
Ensure there is sufficient slack in the
harness to prevent future issues.
Figure 1. Wire is broken at G31 sensor.
Following repairs, the harness must be
wrapped with textile tape N 105 920 02.
Apply the textile tape starting at the
wiring below the connector. Ensure the
wires are kept flat to avoid over
stressing the pins (Figure 2).
