Erase DTC Memory (function 05)
 
     
Important note:  
     
If there are no DTCs in DTC memory, DTC 
memory should not be unnecessarily erased or 
else readiness code will be lost. 
     If DTC memory was erased, readiness code 
must be re-generated   Page 01
-84
 . 
     
If DTC memory cannot be erased, check DTC 
memory again and repair malfunction.

Display on VAS5051:  
Note:  
If indication -1- appears in display field: "DTC memory has not yet been 
checked", the work sequence was not adhered to correctly. DTC memory 
can only be erased if DTC memory was checked before. 
Note:  
This causes DTCs to be erased that were stored during repair of 
malfunction, e.g. because harness connectors were disconnected.  1 -   no indication (before erasing)
 or
 
DTC memory erased 
2 - Note: Perform the function?
  Note: Data is being erased !
-  Press on "OK" button in display -2-.
- 
End function "05 - erase DTC memory" by pressing on   button.-  Check DTC memory again after repair work:
-  If DTC memory was erased, readiness code must be re-generated

 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table
 
Notes:  
 
When malfunctions occur in monitored sensors or components, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in DTC 
memory with a description of the malfunction type. 
 "E-Gas" relevant malfunctions are also indicated in the instrument cluster by the warning lamp for Electronic Power 
Control ("EPC warning lamp"); Notes for E-Gas system   Page 24
-120
 . 
 Malfunctions that worsen emissions are indicated by an exhaust warning lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster. Notes for 
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)   Page 01
-3 . 
 The DTC table is organized by the 5 digit code at left.
 If a stored DTC does not recur within the next 40 warm-up cycles, the DTC will be erased automatically.
 Malfunctions that occur sporadically (temporarily occurring malfunctions) are identified with "sporadic" on display. The 
word sporadic means "appearing or occurring at irregular intervals, occasional". 
 Do not immediately replace components that the VAS5051 suggests are faulty, 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 "sporadic". 
 If the connector is disconnected from the ECM 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.
