Power Supply (B+) 
Terminal 30  
Low Voltage   The malfunction is set when the 
battery/control module is disconnected 
with ignition on or with a starting attempt 
with ignition/control module 
disconnected  
  
  - The malfunction is erased after the second engine 
start if there is sufficient supply voltage. Therefore, 
start car after battery/control module is 
disconnected; shut off and start car again, then 
check DTC memory again. 
  
Malfunction cause found: Yes    
No   
  
- Erase DTC memory, test drive and after test drive, 
check DTC memory again 
MIL Status:  
MIL lights up 
immediately   Poor ground connection between 
battery and body   
  
  - Check ground cable for good contact on battery 
terminal and check the threaded connection on the 
body 
  
Malfunction cause found: Yes    
No   
  
- Erase DTC memory, test drive and after test drive, 
check DTC memory again

Notes:  
     
The output diagnostic test mode can only be 
carried out with the ignition switched on and the 
engine NOT running. 
     The output diagnostic test mode is interrupted if 
the engine is started or a rotary pulse is 
recognized. 
     During the output diagnostic test mode, the 
individual outputs are triggered until the 
program is continued by pressing the   button. 
     
The outputs are checked by listening for the 
sound of the component being actuated, of by 
feeling for mechanical evidence of actuation 
(clicking, vibration, etc.). 
     Without letting the engine run briefly, switch the 
ignition off for approx. 20 sec before repeating 
the output diagnostic test mode. 
     
-  Connect VAG 1551 scan tool and initiate until

Constant ignition timing point of 12  BTDC is 
output in idle. 
     
Digital idle speed control is blocked.

Idle speed on vehicles without A/C and rear windshield heater switched on: 750-850 RPM. 
Notes on display field 3:  
For the testing at wide open throttle, stop engine, and switch ignition on. 
Since in vehicles with manual transmission and automatic transmission different throttle bodies are installed, the start of 
opening of the throttle body can be measured with ignition on and thus incorrect installation can be checked 
 Manual transmission: 45-53% 
 Automatic transmission: 27-35%
