Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
function, checking

If a malfunction is recognized by the Engine
Control Module (ECM), this is indicated by the
MIL coming on.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Note:
When a recognized malfunction switches on the MIL, it will either blink or
light continuously. In either case, DTC memory must be checked Page 01
-15
.
If the MIL starts to blink, there is a malfunction that can lead to
damage of the Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC). In this case,
driving should only continue using reduced power. The malfunction
must be rectified as quickly as possible. If the MIL lights continuously, there is a malfunction that affects
exhaust emissions. In this case, DTC memory must be checked, and
the malfunction must be rectified as quickly as possible. Some malfunctions may occur without causing the MIL to come on.
When driveability or performance problems are reported, and there is
no indication from the MIL, the operation of the MIL must be checked.
In addition, DTC memory must be checked, as there may be
malfunctions stored that do not switch the MIL on immediately.

If MIL lights up when ignition is switched on,
continue checking as follows:

- Start engine and let run at idle.

MIL must go out after a few seconds.
If MIL does not go out:

- Check Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory
Page 01
-15
.
If there are no malfunctions stored in DTC
memory: Cause:
MIL is triggered continuously due to short
circuit to Ground. Remedy:
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box.
- Check resistance between test box socket 17 and vehicle Ground,
specified value: (no continuity) If the specified value is not obtained:
- Check for short circuit to Ground in wiring from Motronic Engine Control
Module (ECM) -J220- to MIL.
- Trace malfunction using applicable wiring diagram and repair as
necessary.

Function 08: Read Measuring Value Block Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle -or- Driving Modes under address word 33: Mode 1: Transfer diagnostic data Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 2: Transfer operating conditions Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 3: Check DTC memory Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 4: Erase diagnosis information Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 5: Output of HO2S signals Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 6: Transfer measuring values Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 7: Check DTC memory Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle Under Address word 33, Mode 1 to Mode 7 can be addressed.
Under Mode 1 individual measuring values can be displayed. Mode 1 is not recommended for use in an Audi Service
department, because these values can be displayed much more precisely using address word 01 and "Basic Setting"
function 04 or "Read Measuring Value Block" function 08.
Mode 2 shows the operating conditions under which the stored malfunctions were recognized.
With Mode 3, DTC memory is checked-with Mode 4, DTC memory is erased.
