General notes


Technical features of the multi-function
steering wheel
The multi-function steering wheel enables the
radio to be operated from the steering wheel (the
most important functions) and contains an
extensive On Board Diagnostic (OBD).
The control module for the multi-function steering
wheel is equipped with a DTC memory. When
malfunctions occur in monitored components or
wiring, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
stored in DTC memory with a description of the
malfunction type.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Notes:

The following list contains all malfunctions that can be recognized by the multi-function steering wheel and printed out by
the VAG1551 scan tool. The malfunctions are listed in order according to their 5-digit numbers.
DTC numbers appear only on the print-out.
Before replacing a component shown as faulty, check the wiring and connections to the component as well as the Ground
(GND) connections according to wiring diagram.
After repairs and function test of the system, DTC memory must always be checked again using the VAG1551 scan tool
and erased.
DTC memory stores all static and sporadic malfunctions: If a malfunction occurs and persists for at least 2 seconds, it is
identified as a static malfunction. If a malfunction does not occur again, it is registered as sporadic. "/SP" will appear at the
right of the scan tool display.
When the ignition is switched on, all existing malfunctions are automatically re-classified as sporadic malfunctions and will
only register as static malfunctions if they still occur after testing.
Sporadic malfunctions which no longer occur during 50 driving cycles (ignition on at least 5 minutes, vehicle speed 30
km/h) are erased automatically.
The three digit malfunction type number appearing next to the DTC is a data code and can be ignored.
