Note for display field 2:  
Calculated value from engine speed and engine load. 
Note for display fields 3 and 4:  
Period duration is the time between two oxygen sensor voltage jumps (e.g. rich - lean - rich) and is therefore a measurement 
of the aging condition of the oxygen sensor. If the specified time is exceeded, display field 4 will indicate = B1-S1 not OK.

Notes:  
     
The oxygen sensor control behind catalytic 
converter overrules the oxygen sensor control 
before catalytic converter. It serves as a 
corrective control. 
    
Test requirements: 
Test sequence  
It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. enrichment) via the 
oxygen sensor before catalytic converter by holding oxygen sensor 
control before catalytic converter at its higher or lower point for a 
specific time (dwell time). If this time is in the positive range (i.e. 50 
ms), mixture is shifted in the -enrich- direction. If it is in the negative 
range (i.e.--50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -lean- direction. Road test performed and DTC memory erased. Coolant temperature at least 80  C   Display group 4, display field 3
-  Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool and select the control 
module for engine electronics using "address word" 01   Page 01

Oxygen sensor control of oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter (bank 1 sensor 2 and bank 2 sensor 2) are not active 
without engine load, meaning that the display is 0. 
 The first position of the 3 digit indication (heating) fluctuates between 0 and 1.
