      Before you can zero the sensor, you must have 
successfully carried out the "Login Procedure" 
function 11 using the VAG1551/1552 scan tool 
and the ABS control module -J104- must be 
coded  page 01

ESP driving and system test
 
      The ESP driving test is used to test the 
plausibility of the signals from the sensor for 
transverse acceleration, yaw sensor, and 
pressure sensor.  
     
Road test vehicle  
      Some DTCs are only recognized by the On 
Board Diagnostic (OBD)while the vehicle is 
moving. You can check the entire system during 
a road test. During road test, drive at a speed of 
at least 60 km/h for 30 seconds. Check traffic 
conditions and perform an ABS regulated braking 
when appropriate. You will feel a pulsing in the 
brake pedal indicating the system is active.  
     
Note:  
     Once the ESP driving test has been initiated, it 
cannot be aborted and must be performed 
completely. After exiting the diagnostic, the 
ABS/EDL and ASR/ESP lamps remain switched 
on in order to indicate that the test is active and 
that system function is not available yet. 
Warning, ABS and ESP not functioning!

WARNING! 
     
While system is in diagnostic, the 
ABS/ESP/EBD is not active. Driving the 
vehicle after On Board Diagnostic (OBD) has 
detected a malfunction presents the risk of 
accident. The brake system will only be 
partially functional. Because brake pressure 
at the rear wheels is no longer regulated vie 
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), the rear 
wheels tend to brake excessively. This 
causes the rear of the vehicle to break loose. 
     
When the use of test equipment is required 
during road tests, test equipment must 
always be secured to the rear seat and 
operated from there by a second person. If 
test and measuring equipment is operated 
from the passenger seat, the person seated 
there could be injured in the event of an 
accident involving deployment of the 
passenger-side airbag.
