Service
If the customer concern and one or more of the faults listed above is present, inspect the wires at the G31
sensor.
If there are no issues found at G31 connector this TSB does not apply. Please proceed with standard diagnosis.
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.
1. 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.

2. 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).

3. Wrap the tape in the direction of the
connector keeping it flat (Figure 3).

cover the connector base (Figure 4).
