GENERIC SCAN TOOL MANUAL CONTENTS

"GST" is an acronym for Generic Scan Tool Information.

Included in the contents of this GST information is a summary table of the vehicle specific OBD II Emission Related Engine and Transmission DTCs. This table contains all necessary Malfunction Criteria, Threshold Values, Secondary Parameters, Enabling Conditions, Monitoring Time Length, Frequency of Checks, and MIL Illumination to accurately monitor and diagnose the Engine Emissions and Transmission and perform all functions required to run Modes 01 through 09 with a hand held scan tool. For a further description of the monitor strategies, a document reference has been provided throughout this GST information to the applicable OBD System Strategy document.

This GST information also contains the step by step pin point test procedures to accurately diagnose the suspected component or system once a DTC has been set. All references to repair procedures and wiring diagrams will be found within the diagnostic test procedure.

OBD SYSTEMS

OBD II

"OBD" is an acronym for the On Board Diagnostic System.

California OBD II applies to all gasoline engine vehicles up to 14, 000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) starting in the 1996 MY and all diesel engine vehicles up to 14, 000 lbs. GVWR starting in the 1997 MY.

Several states in the Northeastern United States have chosen to adopt the California emission regulations starting in the 1998 MY and are known as "Green States".

Green States receive California-certified vehicles for passenger cars and light trucks up to 6, 000 lbs. GVWR. Starting in the 2004 MY, Federal vehicle over 8, 500 lbs. will start phasing in OBD II.

Starting in 2004 MY, gasoline-fueled Medium Duty Passenger Vehicles (MDPVs) are required to have OBD II. Federal OBD II applies to all gasoline engine vehicles up to 8, 500 lbs. GVWR starting in the 1996 MY and all diesel engine vehicles up to 8, 500 lbs. GVWR starting in the 1997 MY.

OBD II system implementation and operation is described in the remainder of this document.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATION

"MIL" is an acronym for the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.

If the ECM recognizes a malfunction that leads to increased emissions values, it indicates them by lighting the MIL which is located in the instrument cluster.

The ECM switches on the MIL after the ignition is switched on. Shortly after the engine is started, The MIL goes out if the ECM does not detect a malfunction that increases the emissions values.

If the ECM recognizes a malfunction that leads to increased emissions during the operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the MIL and an entry is stored in the DTC memory of the ECM.

"CAN" is an acronym for Controller Area Network.

The ECM communicates with all databus capable control modules by a CAN Data Link.

The databus capable control modules (i.e. Engine Coolant temperature Sensor) are connected by two data bus wires which are twisted together (CAN_High and CAN_Low), and exchange information (messages) to the ECM. Missing information on the databus is then recognized and stored as a malfunction.

The ECM illuminates the MIL through the CAN data link and tells the MIL to turn on, turn off, or blink.

ELECTRONIC POWER CONTROL WARNING LAMP

"EPC" is an acronym that stands for the Electronic Power Control (E-gas).

The ECM monitors all EPC components after the ignition is switched on.

If a malfunction is recognized in the EPC system during the operation of the engine, the ECM switches on the EPC which is located in the instrument cluster and an entry is stored in the DTC memory of the ECM.

DIAGNOSTIC MODES DESCRIPTION

The information provided in Modes 01 through 09 displays the various levels of emission related data that may be monitored, as well as the ability to retrieve and read stored DTC trouble codes, erase stored DTC trouble codes, generate readiness codes, and select the various PIDs and Test-IDs used within the modes to monitor the engine, and emission related component parameters.

The following table provides a link to all diagnostic modes that monitor all components and systems which influence the emission quality.

Note. Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

DIAGNOSTIC MODE 01 - READ CURRENT SYSTEM DATA

Diagnostic Mode 01 makes it possible to access current emissions-related measured values and diagnostic data. The original measured values (no replacement values), input and output data and system status information are displayed using Diagnostic Mode 1.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 01 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

Test requirement

  1. Coolant temperature at least 80° C.

Procedure

Connect the scan tool.

Start the engine and run at idle.

Select "Diagnostic Mode 1: Obtain data.".

From the following table, select the desired the "PID" that is to be monitored, e.g. "PID 05-Coolant temperature".

End of procedure

DIAGNOSTIC MODE 02 - READ OPERATING CONDITIONS

When an emissions-related fault (pending DTC, visible in mode 07) is first detected, operating conditions are stored. Mode 02 makes it possible to access this freeze frame data as soon as this fault is shown in mode 03. Each control module only shows freeze frame data for one fault via mode 02. Therefore, there are two priority levels. If there is a malfunction with higher priority, the freeze frame data is overwritten.

Fault with higher priority: Misfire malfunction or fuel trim malfunction.

Fault with normal priority: All other emissions-related faults.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 02 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

Procedure

Connect the scan tool.

Start the engine and run at idle.

Note. If the engine does not start, crank the engine using starter for at least 5 seconds, do not switch the ignition off afterward under any circumstances.

Select "Diagnostic Mode 2: Obtain operating conditions.".

End of procedure

DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY

Diagnostic Mode 03 makes it possible to read emissions-related faults (confirmed DTCs: faults which have activated the MIL) in the ECM and in the TCM.

When the Engine Control Module (ECM) -- recognizes an emission related fault, it turns on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -- or if a Electronic Throttle Malfunction is recognized, the Engine Control Module (ECM) -- turns on the Electronic Power Control (EPC) Warning Lamp -- which are both located in the instrument cluster.

Diagnostic Mode 03 is used to retrieve and view any DTC which may be stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM) --.

The DTC's are sorted by SAE code with the DTC tables consisting of a 5-digit alpha-numeric value.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 03 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

If the DTC returns

Perform the diagnostic procedure.

If the DTC does not return

The fault may have been the result of a loose electrical connection.

Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE DESCRIPTION .

End of diagnosis.

READINESS CODE

The following table provides quick links to all instructions in this article.

READINESS CODE DESCRIPTION

Diagnostics are performed at regular intervals during normal vehicle operation. After repairing an emissions related system, a readiness code is generated by road testing the vehicle.

If a malfunction is recognized during the drive cycle, it will be stored in the DTC memory.

The OBD drive cycle operation will be monitored with a hand held diagnostic tool. Consult the manufacturer's instructional information for correct tool operation.

The readiness code is erased every time the DTC memory is erased or any time the battery is disconnected. If the DTC memory has been erased or the battery is disconnected, a new readiness code must be generated.

Only erase the DTC memory if a DTC has been stored.

General Recommendations

Most monitors will complete easier and quicker using a "steady-foot" and "smooth" acceleration during the drive cycle operation, cruise, and acceleration modes.

Operating Conditions

For the EVAP monitor test, the coolant temperature and the ambient air temperature must be between 10° C and 35° C with a difference between them no greater than 4° C. The ambient air temperature must not change more than 4° C during the drive cycle procedure (e.g. when driving out of a heated workshop in the winter).

Test requirements

  1. Erase the DTC memory «DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY»(/volkswagen/new-beetle/a4-1997-2005/remont/cooling-fan/#20l-generic-scan-tool-engine-codes-aeg-hatchback__diagnostic-mode-04-erase-dtc) .
  2. Coolant temperature must be between 80° C - 110° C.
  3. The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) must be between 10° C - 35° C.
  4. Battery voltage must be a minimum of 12.5 volts.
  5. Fuel tank level 1/4 - 3/4 full.
WARNINGWhen performing the drive cycle operation, pay strict attention to driving conditions and please observe and obey all posted speed limits. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or possible death.

Drive Cycle Procedure

Connect the scan tool.

Switch the ignition on and start the vehicle.

Idle the vehicle for 2-3 minutes. This executes the O2S Heater, Misfire, Secondary AIR, Fuel Trim, and Purge system monitors.

Drive the vehicle at 45-55 mph for a continuous 7 minute period, avoid stopping. This executes the EVAP, O2S, Fuel Trim, and Misfire monitors.

Accelerate the vehicle to an engine speed of 5000 RPM (with automatic transmission use the tip-tronic mode); lift off the throttle until the engine speed is around 1200 rpm. This executes the fuel cut off

Accelerate the vehicle smoothly to 60-65 mph, cruise constantly for 5 min, this executes the Catalyst; O2S, Misfire, Fuel Trim, and Purge System monitors.

Decelerate and idle the vehicle again for 3 minutes. This executes the Misfire, Secondary AIR, Fuel Trim, and Purge system monitors.

Check the status of the readiness code.

Note. Depending on the scan tool used. The readiness code status may be displayed as "complete, passed or OK."

If any engine monitor fails the drive cycle test. Repeat the drive cycle test until all engine monitors have successfully run through and passed.

Note. When repeating the drive cycle operation for a failed EVAP monitor or thermostat-monitor, allow the engine to cool until the coolant temperature and the ambient air temperature are between 10° C and 35° C with a difference between them (coolant and ambient air) no greater than 4° C. Repeat the drive cycle operation.

If the drive cycle operation fails again.

Check the DTC memory for stored DTC's DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .

Repair the vehicle if necessary.

Repeat the drive cycle operation until all engine monitors have successfully run through and passed.

Remove the scan tool and switch the ignition off.

End of operation.
