General information


Technical features of radio systems
The new generation of the Audi radio system has
extensive On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability.

(DTC) memory. If a malfunction occurs in one of
the components or wires which is monitored by
the system, a record of the type of malfunction is
stored in DTC memory.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table for radio system

Notes:

The following table lists all the malfunctions (stored as Diagnostic Trouble Codes, or DTCs) that can be recognized by the
radio system and printed out by the VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST). The DTCs are listed in order according to their 5-digit
numbers.
The DTCs only appear on the print-out from the scan tool.
Before replacing a component shown as faulty, check the wiring and connections to the component as well as Ground
(GND) connections according to the wiring diagram.
When a repair has been carried out, the DTC memory must always be checked again and then erased using the
VAG1551 scan tool.
Static and sporadic malfunctions are stored as DTCs in the DTC memory. If a malfunction occurs and persists for at least
2 seconds, it is identified as a static malfunction. If the malfunction does not occur again it is registered as a sporadic
malfunction and "/SP" will appear at the right of the display.
When the ignition is switched on, all existing malfunctions are automatically re-classified as sporadic malfunctions and will
only be registered as static malfunctions if they still occur after testing.
Sporadic malfunctions which no longer occur after 50 driving cycles (ignition on for at least 5 minutes, road speed of more
than 30 km/h or 19 mph) are erased automatically.
