Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Note. If malfunctions occur in monitored sensors or components, these will be stored as DTCs in the DTC memory with a description of malfunction type. "E-Gas"-relevant malfunctions are also indicated by the MIL for electric accelerator mechanism ("EPC warning lamp"). Malfunctions that worsen emissions are also indicated by an Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (MIL for output DTM) that is also located in the instrument cluster. There are malfunctions that cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to light up immediately after recognition. There are also malfunctions for which the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) does not light up until repeated recognition at engine start. Malfunctions that occur only sporadically (temporary malfunctions) are identified by the letters "SP" (sporadic malfunction) on the VAG1551 scan tool display. The word sporadic means "appearing or occurring at irregular intervals, occasional." The DTC table is organized by the 5 digit code at left. If a stored DTC does not reoccur within the next 40 warm-up cycles, the DTC will be erased automatically. Do not immediately replace components that the VAG1551 suggests are malfunctioning, instead: check wire connections and harness connectors to these components according to wiring diagram. Also check Ground (GND) connections according to wiring diagram. This is particularly valid when malfunctions are displayed as "sporadically occurring" (SP). If the connector from the ECM is disconnected or the battery is disconnected, all adaptation values in the control module are erased. DTC memory content will remain intact however. If the engine is started after this, a rough, uneven idle can result. In this case, engine must be allowed to run at idle for a few minutes until adaptation procedure has been completed. After DTC memory is erased (Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking and erasing ) readiness code must be re-generated. Refer to Readiness code, generating .

Readiness code

The readiness code is an 8 digit display in measuring value block 086, display field 1. Each of the 8 digits is assigned to a specific exhaust related system.

If the function of these systems is checked via a test by On Board Diagnostic (OBD), which is successfully completed, then the position assigned to this system will be switched from "1" to "0". This occurs regardless of whether the test is indicated as "OK" or "not OK" as long as the test is successfully completed.

If a test is completed, but indicated as "not OK," a DTC will be stored in DTC memory. Check DTC Memory. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, checking and erasing .

When the readiness code is generated after a successfully completed test, "00000000" will be indicated.

Readiness code is reset to "11111111" if

  1. DTC Memory was erased
  2. Voltage supply to ECM was cut off (e.g. connector disconnected, battery disconnected)

In this case, readiness code must be re-generated. Refer to Readiness code, generating .

During driving operation in various load conditions, exhaust relevant tests are performed by the control module within a "short trip" and readiness code is generated on its own. In this case, however, concluding control possibilities are not available, meaning that it will not be indicated whether all positions of the readiness code are set to "0."

To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and ignition systems, always observe the following

  1. Always switch off ignition before disconnecting or connecting lines of the fuel injection and ignition system, including test leads.
  2. If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting (e.g. for compression testing), disconnect connectors from ignition coils and from fuel injectors.
  3. It is possible that a control module will recognize a malfunction and store a DTC during some tests. After completing all tests and repairs, DTC memory should therefore be checked and erased if necessary.
  4. Always switch ignition off before cleaning engine.
  1. Always switch ignition off before disconnecting or connecting battery. Failure to do so may damage the Engine Control Module (ECM).

If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following

WARNINGDue to weight, size and need for manual operation of test instruments while vehicle is driven on public roads, instrument must be used only with a Driver operating the vehicle and an Instrument Operator operating the test equipment. Do not use Instrument with Driver only. Always use two persons to conduct test. Do not place Instrument on lap of Driver or front seat passenger because emergency stop may dislodge Instrument and cause airbag deployment with risk of injury to Instrument Operator.

Wire and component test using VAG1598/31 test box

Note. If the Engine Control Module (ECM) is equipped with a metal anti-theft housing (for theft prevention), the metal anti-theft housing must be removed from the ECM to connect the test box. Procedure. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) (with metal anti-theft housing), replacing . After repairs are complete, the metal anti-theft housing must be reinstalled. VAG1598/31 test box is designed so that it can be simultaneously connected to the wiring harness at the Engine Control Module (ECM) and also to the ECM itself. This is advantageous because electronic engine control remains fully functional (e.g. measurement of signals with engine running) when the test box is attached. Relevant test procedures note whether Engine Control Module (ECM) should also be connected to the test box or not. Always use VAG1594A connector test kit to attach measurement devices (e.g. VAG1527B voltage tester, VAG1526 multimeter etc.).

Function of oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter

Note. Oxygen sensor compares oxygen content of air with residual oxygen content in exhaust and delivers a voltage signal to the control module. The voltage signal "mixture rich (too little residual oxygen)" is 0.7 - 1.1 V (relative to reference Ground). The voltage signal "mixture lean (too much residual oxygen)" is -0.1 to +0.3 V (relative to reference Ground). During transition from "rich" to "lean" and vice versa (lambda = 1.0) the voltage jumps from range of 0.7 to 1.1 V to range of -0.1 to +0.3 V or vice versa. Due to the steep voltage jump, oxygen sensor control cannot maintain the ideal mixture of lambda = 1.0 as constant. Oxygen sensor control constantly fluctuates back and forth between the conditions "slightly too lean" and "slightly too rich."

Note. If voltage change does not occur or occurs only slowly, the following malfunctions could be present

  1. Slits or holes in sensor head clogged.
  2. Sensors suffered thermal overload.
  3. Transition resistance in signal wire or Ground wire.
  4. Sensor too cold, sensor heating not functioning.
  1. Sensor damaged by contact spray or similar substance (contact spray is drawn through the fine hollow interiors by thermal fluctuations and capillary action into the electrical wiring in sensor).
  2. Sensor damaged by silicon fumes (The use of sealing materials containing silicon leads to traces of silicon to be drawn in by the engine. These traces are not combusted and damage the oxygen sensors).

Oxygen sensor and oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter, checking

Note. Oxygen sensor control behind the catalytic converter is responsible for final control correction. It is the primary sensor and can override the signal from the oxygen sensor control before the catalytic converter. It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. enrichment) via the oxygen sensor before catalytic converter by holding the oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter at its higher or lower limit for a specific time (duration). If this time is in the positive range (i.e. 50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -enrich- direction. If this time is in the negative range (i.e. -50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -lean- direction.

The 4-pin harness connector (brown) for the oxygen sensor behind catalytic and oxygen sensor heating is located under a cover at vehicle floor.

Scheme 228

Scheme 228: Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking

The secondary air system results in quicker heating and therefore earlier operating readiness of the catalytic converter following cold start.

Principle

Due to over-enrichment of the mixture during the cold start phase, there is an increased amount of un-combusted carbon monoxide in the exhaust. Secondary Air Injection (AIR) improves secondary oxidation in the catalytic converter and therefore reduces emissions. The heat produced by secondary oxidation greatly reduces start-up time for the catalytic converter, therefore improving exhaust quality during the cold start phase significantly.

Function

  1. In the cold start phase, the ECM - «Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-atc) activates the secondary air pump - «Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-atc) via the relay for secondary air pump -1-. Air reaches the combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) - «Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-atc) .
  2. Parallel to this, the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) solenoid valve - «Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-atc) is activated, which permits negative pressure to reach the combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) - «Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-atc) and the pressure unit for boost pressure regulation - «Secondary Air Injection (AIR) valve, checking»(/audi/tt/8n-1998-2003/remont/fuel-system/#18l-4-cyl-5v-turbo-fuel-injection-ignition-engine-codes-atc) . The combination valve for Secondary Air Injection (AIR) thereby opens the path for secondary air to the exhaust channels of the cylinder head.
  1. To prevent unnecessary torque loss, secondary air is led around the turbocharger -8-. For this, the boost pressure regulation pressure unit opens the boost pressure valve. The pressure unit, designed as a double reservoir, has a vacuum connection for this on the low pressure side.

E-Gas system, function

For E-Gas, the throttle valve is not operated by a cable from the accelerator pedal. There is no mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve.

The position of the accelerator pedal is communicated to the Engine Control Module (ECM) via two sensors for accelerator pedal position (variable resistances; stored in one housing) that are connected with the accelerator pedal.

The accelerator pedal position (driver's intention) is a main input measure value for the ECM.

Operation of the throttle valve occurs via an electric motor (throttle valve actuator) in the throttle valve control module. This is true across the entire engine speed and engine load spectrum.

The throttle valve is operated by the throttle valve actuator according to the instructions of the ECM.

With ignition switched on and engine off, the ECM activates the throttle valve actuator precisely according to the sensor for accelerator pedal position. This means, if the accelerator pedal is depressed half way, the throttle valve actuator opens the throttle valve to the same degree; i.e. throttle valve would be opened half way.

With engine running (under load), the ECM can open or close the throttle valve independently of the sensor for accelerator pedal position.

This means, for example, that the throttle valve could be fully opened even though the accelerator pedal has only been depressed half way. This has the advantage of preventing torque losses at the throttle valve.

In addition to this, it results in significantly better values relative to emissions and consumption under certain load conditions.

The required engine torque can be achieved by the Engine Control Module (ECM) via the optimal combination of throttle valve diameter and boost pressure.

It would be incorrect to think that "E-Gas" consists of only one or two components. E-Gas is much more of a system containing all components that contribute to recognizing, controlling and monitoring the position of the throttle valve, e.g. sensor for accelerator pedal position, throttle valve control module, EPC warning lamp, Engine Control Module (ECM).

Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning lamp (malfunction indicator lamp for electronic accelerator-E-Gas) in instrument cluster, significance

Location of EPC warning lamp

Engine Control Module (ECM) checks all components that are important for function of the E-Gas system after ignition is switched on.

During the test of these components, the ECM switches the EPC warning lamp on.

If malfunctions are recognized in the E-Gas system during operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the EPC warning lamp in instrument cluster. (These malfunctions are listed in the DTC table). An entry is made in DTC memory at the same time.

Malfunction light for power accelerator activation -K132-, checking

Note. The malfunction light for power accelerator activation -K132- is also called the EPC warning lamp.

Throttle valve control module -J338-, checking

The following components are located in the housing for the throttle valve control module

  1. Throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G186-. (This is an electric motor that is activated by the ECM. This electric motor opens the throttle valve against spring pressure.)
  2. Angle sensor -1- for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G187
  3. Angle sensor -2- for throttle drive (power accelerator actuation) -G188

Note. The housing for the throttle valve control module must not be opened. The angle sensors are designed as potentiometers (variable resistances). They communicate the position of the throttle valve to the Engine Control Module (ECM) fully independent of each other. The potentiometers cannot be mechanically adjusted. Adjustments are made in Basic Setting (function 04) using the VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 Scan Tool.

Throttle valve control module, adaptation

During adaptation with ignition switched on and engine off, the Engine Control Module (ECM) learns the various positions of the throttle valve. These positions are stored in the control module. The return communication regarding the position of the throttle valve occurs via the two angle sensors for throttle drive.

An adaptation must always be performed when the throttle valve control module -J338- or the Engine Control Module (ECM) are removed and installed (or replaced) or if voltage supply to the Engine Control Module (ECM) is interrupted.

The learning process (adaptation) occurs

  1. Via initiation of Basic Setting (function 04) display group 60 with ignition on.
  2. Automatically if the ignition is switched on for at least 6 seconds without operating starter and accelerator pedal and the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes "adaptation required." (There will be no notification of whether adaptation was successful or not however). Adaptation required is recognized if stored voltage values from the angle sensors do not match actual measured voltage values within a certain tolerance range.

Note. Engine will not start during automatic adaptation.

When indicated on display

  1. Press buttons -0-, -6- and -0- to select "display group number 060" and press -Q- button to confirm input.

After pressing Q button, throttle valve actuator will be switched on mechanically (i.e. without current).

In this condition, the throttle valve will be drawn into an emergency position by a mechanical spring, which is located in the throttle valve control module. The values that both angle sensors deliver in this emergency position are stored by the Engine Control Module (ECM).

After this, the throttle valve is opened by a specific value. Once this value is reached, the throttle valve actuator will be switched on again without current. Then the mechanical spring closes the throttle valve to the previously learned emergency position within a certain time (spring test).

Finally, the throttle valve is closed by the throttle valve actuator; the values that the angle sensors deliver in the throttle valve control module are stored in the ECM.

If the ECM switches the throttle valve actuator during driving operation without current, this is indicated by a heightened, uneven idle speed. The engine accepts gas only after great delay.

Note. Engine Control Module (ECM) calculates the voltage values of the angle sensors in percent relative to 5 volts and displays these percentage values. (5 volts supply voltage represents 100 %).

  1. Observe display field 1 and 2.

Percent indication in display field 1 must climb uniformly. The tolerance range 3 - 93 % is not used completely during this.

Percent indication in display field 2 must decrease uniformly. The tolerance range 97 - 3 % is not used completely during this.

Note. The reason that the indication in display field 1 climbs but the indication in display field 2 decreases, is due to the inverse relationship of the potentiometers (angle sensors) in the throttle valve control module. This means that the voltage of the one angle sensor runs toward 5 volts. (The more the throttle valve is opened, the larger the voltage; percent indication climbs). The voltage of angle sensor 2 runs from 5 volts toward 0 volts. (The more the throttle valve is opened, the smaller the voltage; percent indication decreases).

Ignition system, general information

Note. The engine control module is equipped with an On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capabilities. 11.5 Volts minimum is required for trouble-free operation of the electrical components. While performing certain checks it possible that the ECM will recognize and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). Therefore after completing all checks and repairs, check and erase the DTC memory as necessary. If the engine only starts briefly after Troubleshooting, repair or component checks, and then turns off again, this may be because the immobilizer locks the engine control module. In this case, the DTC memory must be checked and if necessary, the control module must be adapted.

To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle fuel injection and ignition systems, the following must be observed

  1. DO NOT touch or disconnect ignition system wires when the engine is running or being cranked at starting RPM.
  2. Only connect and disconnect high voltage and tester wires with the ignition switched off.
  3. If the engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting the engine (e.g. compression test), disconnect connectors for the ignition coils and from the fuel injectors. After completing work, check and erase DTC memory.
  4. Washing the engine or engine compartment is only to be performed with then ignition switched off.
  1. Disconnecting and connecting battery may only be done with the ignition switched off, since the engine control module could otherwise be damaged.

If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following

WARNINGDue to weight, size and need for manual operation of test instruments while vehicle is driven on public roads, instrument must be used only with a Driver operating the vehicle and an Instrument Operator operating the test equipment. Do not use Instrument with Driver only. Always use two persons to conduct test. Do not place Instrument on lap of Driver or front seat passenger because emergency stop may dislodge Instrument and cause airbag deployment with risk of injury to Instrument Operator.

Component location. Refer to Component locations, overview .

The camshaft position sensor transmits the ignition position for cylinder 1.

During failure, the knock sensor is switched off and the ignition angle is retarded, because a cylinder assignment is no longer possible. In addition, the charge pressure of the turbocharger is lowered.

Without a camshaft position sensor, the engine will continue to run and can also be started

  1. During malfunction recognition, the engine control module sets off an ignition spark for each cylinder for each crank shaft rotation.
  2. For the fuel injection, being off by one crankshaft revolution has no noticeable effect. Fuel is injected against the closed intake valve, instead of taking place while the valve is open. The quality of the fuel/air mixture is not significantly affected.
