Function

The Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) system is equipped with an Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability.

When malfunctions occur in sensors or components monitored by OBD, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are stored in DTC memory.

Stored DTCs are identified using the VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST). See CHECK DTC MEMORY (SCAN TOOL FUNCTION 02) .

After the necessary repairs are completed, DTC memory must be erased. See ERASE DTC MEMORY (SCAN TOOL FUNCTION 05) .

OBD II legal regulations require a display (readiness code) that shows inspection readiness for the annual exhaust emissions test. The readiness code shows that every component and/or system that affects exhaust emissions, which can lead to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) being switched on, has been operated at least once with positive results.

The readiness code is reset and/or erased and must be regenerated every time DTC memory is erased, the power supply to the ECM -J220- is interrupted (example: when connecting test box VAG1598/22), or the battery has been disconnected. See READINESS CODE, GENERATING .

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) function, checking

If a malfunction is recognized by the Engine Control Module (ECM) or the Transmission Control Module (TCM), this is indicated by the MIL coming on.

Identifying Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Scheme 1

Scheme 1: Identifying Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

Note. When a recognized malfunction switches on the MIL, it will either blink or light continuously. In either case, DTC memory must be checked. See CHECK DTC MEMORY (SCAN TOOL FUNCTION 02) . If the MIL starts to blink, there is a malfunction that can lead to damage of the Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC). In this case, driving should only continue using reduced power. The malfunction must be rectified as quickly as possible. If the MIL lights continuously, there is a malfunction that affects exhaust emissions. In this case, DTC memory must be checked, and the malfunction must be rectified as quickly as possible. Some malfunctions may occur without causing the MIL to come on. When driveability or performance problems are reported, and there is no indication from the MIL, the operation of the MIL must be checked. In addition, DTC memory must be checked, as there may be malfunctions stored that do not switch the MIL on immediately.

Scheme 2

Scheme 2: Checking function
  1. Switch ignition on. MIL must light up.
  2. If MIL does not light when ignition is switched on, check wiring to MIL as follows: (Scheme 2): MIL Does Not Light When Ignition Is Switched On Trouble Shooting

If MIL lights up when ignition is switched on, continue checking as follows

  1. Start engine and let run at idle. MIL must go out after a few seconds.

If MIL does not go out

  1. Check Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory. See «CHECK DTC MEMORY (SCAN TOOL FUNCTION 02)»(/audi/a6/c5-1997-2001/remont/testing-diagnostics/#on-board-diagnostic-obd-28l-v6-aha) .

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Note. The DTC table is organized according to SAE and VAG diagnostic trouble codes. The column labeled "MIL" specifies the MIL switching condition associated with that DTC. DTCs that do not switch on the MIL after the malfunction is recognized by the ECM are identified by the MIL switching condition "Off". DTCs that switch on the MIL immediately after the malfunction is recognized by the ECM are identified by the MIL switching condition "Immed.". DTCs that are recognized by the ECM and switch on the MIL after two consecutive driving cycles (Dcy) are identified by the MIL switching condition "2 Dcy". Always correct malfunctions that are designated "immed." as soon as possible, followed by those malfunctions that are designated "2 Dcy". When all repairs have been completed, go to ERASE DTC MEMORY (SCAN TOOL FUNCTION 05) . Then generate new readiness code ( READINESS CODE, GENERATING ). DTCs that are recognized as a result of intermittent malfunctions, or DTCs that are not erased after repairs are classified as sporadic malfunctions. These are identified by the designation "SP" appearing in the display. A sporadic malfunction will be erased if it no longer occurs after 50 driving cycles during which the engine reaches operating temperature.

Removing ECM With Antitheft Housing. Scheme 39

Scheme 39: Removing ECM With Antitheft Housing

The threads of the snap -off screws are coated with locking compound to make it more difficult to remove the snap -off screws.

To disconnect the harness connector from Engine Control Module (ECM) (e.g. when connecting a test box or when replacing the ECM), the ECM must be removed from the metal anti -theft housing. This procedure is described as follows.

The following equipment is required

Identifying Special Tools. Scheme 40

Scheme 40: Identifying Special Tools
  1. Heat gun -1- (from VAS1978 Wiring Harness Repair Kit)
  2. Adapter nozzle -2- (also from VAS1978 Wiring Harness Repair Kit)
  3. Standard locking pliers

Procedure

WARNINGThe following work steps must be adhered to exactly to avoid damage (burning) of wires, harness connectors, insulation and control modules! Observe operating instructions of heat gun.

Scheme 41

Scheme 41
  1. "Flip" Engine Control Module (ECM) with anti-theft housing in direction of engine compartment so that locking mechanism (item -2- in illustration) becomes visible and place a clean rag below Engine Control Module (ECM) with anti-theft housing. (Scheme 41): Identifying ECM With Anti-Theft Housing
  2. Adjust heat gun as shown in illustration, i.e. temperature adjustment -2- to maximum heat output and two-stage switch for air mass -3- to position 3. (Scheme 42): Adjusting Heat Gun

Note. Next, use a heat gun to heat the threads of the locking mechanism intowhich the snap-off screws are screwed. This step loosens the locking compound on the threads of the snap-off screws for easier removal.

WARNINGBy heating the locking mechanism threads, the snap -off screws and parts of the metal anti -theft housing will also become very hot. Be careful not to get burned! If possible, also make sure that only the threads and no parts that are in the vicinity become heated. If necessary, cover them.
