 and press the   button. 
 Press buttons -0- and -2- to select "Check DTC Memory" function 02. Press -Q- button to confirm input.
Notes:  
 Each malfunction is assigned a 5-digit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The DTC is located in the left column of the DTC 
table. If you have switched the printer on by pressing the "PRINT" button, the VAG1551 scan tool (ST) prints the message 
identifying the malfunction and the DTC. Otherwise, DTCs are not displayed by the VAG1551 scan tool. 
 The contents of DTC memory remain stored until memory is erased,   page 01
-15
 .
 Sporadically occurring malfunctions are identified via indication of "/SP" on the right-hand side of the display.
 Static malfunctions that cannot be detected when the vehicle is stationary are also identified with "/SP" if the ignition has 
been switched off and then on again. 
 The following DTC table includes all the DTCs that can be stored by the ABS control module -J104- and displayed and 
printed out by the VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool. Malfunctions are listed by DTC number.

If this display appears, 
process is concluded. No 
DTCs are stored in DTC 
memory.  
If corresponding warning 
lamps light up anyway, check 
the following points:  
Voltage supply for ABS control module -
J104- below 10.0 volts at a vehicle speed 
less than 6 km/h. Open circuit in activation wire for ABS 
warning light -K47- between ABS control 
module (w/EDL) -J104- and instrument 
cluster combination processor -J218-. - See section "Overview of indicator lamp 
functions"  page 01

 . 
   If no malfunction can be found, and there is still 
a problem, there may be a mechanical 
malfunction (e.g. solenoid valve sticking).  - Expand troubleshooting to include
