Checking function

- Switch ignition on.

MIL must light up.

- If MIL does not light when ignition is switched
on, check wiring to MIL as follows: Cause:
MIL is not triggered, or does not light, due to faulty
wiring or open circuit. Remedy:
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG 1598/22 test box.
- Connect jumper wire to bridge test box sockets 2 and 17.
- Switch ignition on.
MIL must light up.
If MIL does not light:

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

.
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.

running. Following are the conditions required to carry out each of the specific functions.
Address words:
Address word 00: Automatic Test Sequence r Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Address word 01: Engine Electronics r Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Address word 33: OBD II (generic scan tool) r Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle

Function 03: Output Diagnostic Test Mode Ignition switched on
Function 04: Basic Setting Engine running at idle
Function 07: Code Control Module Ignition switched on
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.
