General notes
- Switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting the battery, otherwise the engine control module may be damaged.
- A voltage of at least 12.7 V is necessary for satisfactory functioning of the electrical components.
- During some of the tests, a malfunction may be recognized and stored by the control module. At the end of all tests and repairs, the DTC memory should be checked and, erased.
- If the engine starts and then stops after malfunction search, repair or tests on components, because the immobilizer is blocking the engine control module. The DTC memory must then be checked and, if necessary, the control module adapted.
| CAUTION | On vehicles equipped with Audi Telematics by OnStar (R), switch-off the emergency (back -up) battery for the Telematic/Telephone Control Module prior to disconnecting the vehicle battery. Switch-on the emergency (back -up) battery after reconnecting the vehicle battery. See EMERGENCY BATTERY, SWITCHING OFF/ON . Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or connecting battery. Failure to do so may damage a control module. |
Safety precautions
To prevent injuries to persons and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition system, observe the following
- Do not touch or disconnect ignition wiring when the engine is running or at starting speed.
- The ignition must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting ignition system wiring. This also applies to high-voltage cables and measuring instrument leads.
- In order to run engine at starting speed without actually starting it (for example, in order to test compression), Disconnect connector from the output stage of the ignition coils and also the connectors on the injectors.
- In the case of some tests, a DTC may be recognized and stored by the control module. At the end of all tests and repairs, the DTC memory should be checked and, if necessary, erased. After erasing the DTC memory the readiness code must be produced. See «READINESS CODE, GENERATING»(/audi/a6/c5-2001-2004/remont/testing-diagnostics/#on-board-diagnostic-obd-30l-v6-avk) .
- Always switch off the ignition before washing the engine.
- Always switch off the ignition before connecting or disconnecting the battery, otherwise the engine control module may be damaged.
