Work Procedure
- Connect diagnostic tester --> «Diagnostic Tester, Connecting»(/audi/a8/d3-2-2007-2010/remont/cooling-fan/#60l-12-cyl-4v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bsb__diagnostic-tester-connecting) .
- Perform test drive. The following operating condition must be met during this road test
- Coolant temperature must reach at least 80 C --> «Diagnostic Mode 01 - Read Current System Data»(/audi/a8/d3-2-2007-2010/remont/cooling-fan/#60l-12-cyl-4v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bsb__diagnostic-mode-01-read-current) , Diagnostic mode 1: Check measured values; PID 05, Coolant temperature.
Observe safety precautions that apply to road tests --> Safety Precautions .
Let vehicle cool off with the ignition switched off until the following condition is met
- Coolant temperature approx. intake air temperature (5 to 30 C) --> «Diagnostic Mode 01 - Read Current System Data»(/audi/a8/d3-2-2007-2010/remont/cooling-fan/#60l-12-cyl-4v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bsb__diagnostic-mode-01-read-current) , Diagnostic mode 1: Check measured values; PID 05, Coolant temperature.
- Perform a road test again. The following operating conditions must be met during this road test
- Accelerate vehicle uniformly, not at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
- Drive for 10 minutes in the highest gear or in the highest driving mode on a level driving surface at a constant speed in the range of 65 to 80 km/h at an engine speed of 2000 to 2500 RPM.
Note. Vehicle speed --> Diagnostic Mode 01 - Read Current System Data , Diagnostic mode 1: Check measured values; PID 13, Vehicle speed. Engine speed --> Diagnostic Mode 01 - Read Current System Data , Diagnostic mode 1: Check measured values; PID 12, Engine rotations per minute (RPM).
- After 10 minutes, downshift until an engine speed of 2800 to 3500 RPM has been reached.
- Drive in deceleration mode at a speed up to approx. 1800 RPM.
- Park vehicle and let engine run at idle for 3 minutes.
- Accelerator pedal must not be operated during this time.
- Perform a road test again. The following operating conditions must be met during this road test
- Accelerate vehicle uniformly, not at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
- Drive for 10 minutes in the highest gear or in the highest driving mode on a level driving surface at a constant speed in the range of 65 to 80 km/h at an engine speed of 2000 to 2500 RPM.
- Park vehicle and let engine run at idle for 3 minutes.
- Accelerator pedal must not be operated during this time.
- Read readiness code --> «Readiness Code, Reading»(/audi/a8/d3-2-2007-2010/remont/cooling-fan/#60l-12-cyl-4v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bsb__readiness-code-reading) .
If a 1 is displayed instead of a 0 in the 8-digit number block
- Perform a road test again. The following operating conditions must be met during this road test
- Drive for 10 minutes in the highest gear or in the highest driving mode on a level driving surface at a constant speed in the range of 65 to 80 km/h at an engine speed of 2000 to 2500 RPM.
- Park vehicle and let run at idle for 3 minutes.
- Accelerator pedal must not be operated during this time.
- Read readiness code --> «Readiness Code, Reading»(/audi/a8/d3-2-2007-2010/remont/cooling-fan/#60l-12-cyl-4v-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-bsb__readiness-code-reading) .
In 8-digit number block
- Display position 5: Secondary air injection (AIR) system
And/or
- Display position 6: Evaporative emissions (EVAP) system
A 1 instead of 0 is displayed
- Repeat work procedure completely.
