Equipment

  1. Data is transmitted between the control module and the VAS5051 tester via operating mode "On Board Diagnostic (OBD)".
  2. DTC memory is designed for permanent memory and is therefore not dependent on voltage supply.
  3. Display of stored DTCs occurs after initiation of display mode. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) MEMORY»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-on-board-diagnostic-obd-30l-avk) .
  4. DTC memory must be erased after malfunction is repaired. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) MEMORY, ERASING»(/audi/a4/b6-2000-2006/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-on-board-diagnostic-obd-30l-avk__diagnostic-trouble-code-dtc-memory-erasing) .
IMPORTANTReadiness code must be generated every time DTC memory is erased. See READINESS CODE, GENERATING . If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a worsening of emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83- in the instrument cluster. Meaning of exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83-. See EXHAUST MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . EPC relevant malfunctions are also indicated by the Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning lamp in the instrument cluster.

Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in instrument cluster

If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a worsening of emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

The Engine Control Module (ECM) switches on the exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after ignition is switched on. Shortly after engine is started, the exhaust MIL will go out. This requires, first of all, that the Engine Control Module (ECM) does not detect a malfunction that worsens the emissions values and, secondly, that activation of the lamp by the Engine Control Module (ECM) is OK.

If malfunctions that worsen emissions are recognized during operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the exhaust MIL in instrument cluster. An entry is made in DTC memory at the same time.

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) can blink or remain lit continuously. DTC memory should be checked in either case. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) MEMORY, CHECKING .

Continuously lit

There is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Motronic ECM and automatic transmission (if installed).

Check DTC memory if there is a driveability problem or a customer complaint, but the exhaust Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is not lit. There may be DTCs stored that do not cause the exhaust MIL to light up immediately, but only after engine is started again and malfunction is recognized again.

Blinking

There is a malfunction that causes damage to the catalytic converter in this driving condition (e.g. combustion misfire). In this case, vehicle must only be driven at reduced power!

Function test of warning lamp

  1. Switch ignition on. Warning lamp for On Board Diagnostic (Malfunction Indicator Lamp -MIL-) must light up
  2. Start engine. Shortly after engine is started, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will go out if there are no malfunctions stored in the DTC memory that relate to the emissions system

Note. The switch-on signal for the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is transferred from the Engine Control Module (ECM) to the instrument cluster via CAN-bus. Check data exchange between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other CAN capable control modules. See DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND OTHER CAN-CONTROL MODULES, CHECKING .

Safety precautions

Note. The following points if testers and measuring instruments have to be used during a road test

WARNINGAlways install testers and measuring instruments on the back seat and have a second person operate them from there. If test equipment were operated from the front passenger seat, the person sitting there could be injured if the front passenger airbag were triggered in the event of an accident.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Note. If malfunctions occur in the monitored sensors and components, these are stored in the DTC memory together with an indication of type of malfunction. Malfunctions related to EPC are additionally indicated by the warning lamp for the electronic throttle control ("EPC warning lamp") which is situated in the instrument cluster. Notes on EPC system. See ELECTRONIC ENGINE POWER CONTROL (EPC) (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE), CHECKING . Malfunctions that worsen emissions are indicated by an exhaust warning lamp (MIL) that is also located in the instrument cluster. There are malfunctions that cause the exhaust warning lamp to light up immediately after recognition. Malfunctions can also occur that cause the exhaust MIL to light up, but only if malfunction is recognized again after repeated engine starts. Notes for exhaust warning lamp (MIL). See EXHAUST MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . The DTC table is sorted according to the 5-digit DTC code on the left. Sporadic malfunctions (malfunction occurring from time to time) are indicated as "sporadic" on the display. The word "sporadic" signifies individually occurring, random malfunctions. Do not immediately replace components indicated as faulty by the VAS5051 but: first check the wiring and connectors of these components against the wiring diagram. Check the Ground connections against wiring diagram. This is particularly relevant for malfunctions recorded as "sporadic". After erasing the DTC memory. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) MEMORY . The readiness code must be regenerated. See READINESS CODE, GENERATING .

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)

Note. The Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (shown as Final Control Diagnosis on scan tool) can only be performed with the engine stopped and the ignition switched on. During actuator diagnosis, the individual actuators (with the exception of the injectors) are operated in turn for about one minute unless the next actuator is selected by pressing the => button. The control elements can be checked acoustically or by way of touch. Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) is aborted if it is not switched further after one minute of activation time, the engine is started or an RPM signal is recognized. Before restarting the Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) the engine must be started and the ignition switched off and on again.

Readiness code

The readiness code appears as an 8-digit display on measured value block 086, display zone 1. Each of the 8 digits is allocated to a particular emission-related system.

The function of each of these systems is checked by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) and the relevant position for the system in the 8-digit display is changed from "1" to "0" in a test sequence which must be fully completed.

The readiness code produced after successful completion of the test sequence is then "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" (measured value block 086, display zone 1).

If an individual test has been completed, but is "not OK", a DTC is entered in the DTC memory. Checking Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory. See Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking .

The readiness code is set to "1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1" if

  1. The DTC memory has been erased.
  2. The voltage supply to the engine control module has been interrupted (e.g. the connector detached, battery disconnected).
  3. A new engine control module has been installed.

In this case the readiness code must be reproduced. See READINESS CODE, GENERATING .

Note. When driving with varying loads the exhaust tests are initiated by the control module and the readiness code generates itself. In this case the concluding control is possibly omitted, i.e. it is not obvious whether the vehicle was handed over to the customer without any malfunctions.

  3. Check indication in display fields -1- and -4-.

Note. Tank leak diagnostic lasts longer than the oxygen sensor interchange recognition. In case diagnostic leak test is not started, open fuel filler cap briefly (to release pressure).

CAUTIONDepending on the software status of the ECM, the engine should be running in idle or with increased RPM for interchange recognition. If the interchange recognition does not start in display field 4, press down on the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously. This increases the engine speed to approx. 1500 RPM and starts the test.
