How to Replace an
Audi A1 keys G28 Engine Speed Sensor
Charles the Humble Technician teaches you how to replace the G28 Engine Speed Sensor. The sensor is located near the edges of the transmission above the flywheel ring gear. It transmits a signal the ECU via a grey wire (T55/49) and then to the tachometer in the instrument cluster.
1. Engine Speed Sensor
The grey wire is located on the edge of transmission,
Audikey just above the flywheel ring. The sensor sends a signal via the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU then uses this information to control the boost, fuel, and timig. It also sends an alert to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster.
The sensor is used as a reference for comparing with the G40 Camshaft Position Sensor. The ecu has to know when the crankshaft has reached TDC, and where the camshaft lies so that it can activate the spark and injectors.
If this sensor fails, the ECU will display the P00160 error, which means the Crank Shaft and Intake Camshaft are out of sync and could indicate chain stretch or a jumped link on the upper timing chain. The code won't appear without the additional information provided by other sensors (G4 or G40).
It can be a bit difficult to test because there are different pins on the connector, and each one has different functions. The best method for doing this is by measuring the resistance between the ECU and the sensor. If the sensor is operational, it should read approximately 1000 ohms. Check for signs of coolant or oil in the connector bay if there are issues with this part.
2. Injectors
Yesterday accelerating full speed from highway paytoll, i experienced an abrupt drop in power like the engine is out of gas or injectors are not firing anymore. Today, i pulled out the spark plugs, three were soaked with gazoline and the fourth one was dry. I put tissue over each injector hole, and when I start the engine without sparks, the three that have gazoline pop right out. The 4th one remains closed. I inspected the ground connection on ECU pins 14/55/30/55/48/55/14/55/48/ I get 0ohm. So i assume the problem is elsewhere.
I also tried to reset the PID but without success. The car can start when the G28 is disconnected and runs fine when it is plugged in but it still has the intermittent misfire issue at higher RPM. The coolant sensor (G62) even if it is not plugged in, shows an ice temperature of -49c. Also, i noticed that the oil pressure gauge in the cockpit is showing 2 bar, whereas the actual pressure is 0.0 when i rev the engine.
I'm not certain what to do, as i think i've pretty much completely ruled out all other possibilities. But i am afraid I may have missed something. Let me know if you have any ideas! TIA!
3. Fuel Pump
The fuel pump in the g28 is activated by a signal sent by the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter functions similarly to the G4 sender, and both operate on the 80,100,200, UrS, and RS2 vehicles. You can easily find a spare in a wrecking shop or parts store. Test them out to do - just put your DMM in resistance mode and take measurements between pins 1 (with the bump on the connector end up) and 2 (2nd from the left on the black connector's end). They must be infinite Ohms.
4. ECU
The ECU of our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY ADU) engines requires to be aware of the position and speed of the crankshaft in order to make a decision about timing of fuel injectors, etc. It uses a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to achieve this. If either of these go wrong, you will receive codes on the diagnostic scanner which can cause the engine to shut down.
Some of the symptoms of a failing G28 sensor include an inaccurate rev counter in the gearbox and gears that shift faster than normal and/or a misfire when you're in gear. It is possible that your sensor is failing and needs to be replaced if you experience any of these symptoms. They're inexpensive and easy to locate, especially in the case of an Bosch sensor like ours. Alternately, GM's version this part is an option.
5. Tachometer
A faulty engine speed sensor could be the cause of numerous issues in your vehicle. It's an essential component of the transmission of your
audi spare key cost since it sends information to the ECU about how fast or slowly the car's engine is spinning. If this sensor fails, it could cause problems for the transmission and the other car's components.
The G5 engine speed sensor is located on the edge of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear and transmits a signal to the ECU at pin T55/49 through a grey wire. The ECU utilizes this signal to control fuel and boost, and also timig. It also relays it to the G5 Tachometer in instrument cluster. You can check for sensor failure by examining the continuity from the sensor audi car Key case (

Also, you can check 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 around 1000 ohms of resistance between those two pins. This is a standard part that is found across the
audi car key replacement cost 80, 100 200, UrS and RS2 range from 1985 MC through the 1997 UrS AAN and 1995 RS2 ADU so good ones might be availble in wrecking yards.
