2011 Audi Q5 Quattro (8RB) V6-3.2L (CALB)SECTION Testing and Inspection
Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1, Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
• Fuse (SB10) OK.
• The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) OK.
• The ignition switched off.
Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Start diagnosis
- Disconnect the Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 (G609) electrical harness connector - 1 -.
Checking voltage supply
• The voltage for the Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 (G609) is supplied by the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) OK.
- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 (G609) electrical harness connector terminal 1 for voltage.
- Operate the engine briefly.
Specified value: approx. 5 V.
- Switch the ignition off.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 (G609) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623)terminal T60/35 for resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
- Install the test box.
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.
- Using a multimeter, check the Secondary Air Injection Sensor 1 (G609) electrical harness connector terminals to Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 terminals.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.
If the specification is not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+), or an open circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is found in wiring:
- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
