DTC memory of all OBD capable systems in
the vehicle will be checked.
When a control module responds with its
identification, the display indicates the number of
stored errors or indicates "no malfunctions
recognized".
DTCs stored in the system are indicated in
sequence and printed out. Then the VAG1551
scan tool sends the next address word.

- Switch ignition off.
- Disconnect control modules that are linked by bus wires and check
whether there is an open circuit in one of the bus wires - If no malfunction can be identified in the bus wires replace control
module 1.

If the cause of the malfunction "Data Bus Powertrain Malfunction"
cannot be found in the data bus wires, check whether one of the
control modules is causing the malfunction.
At this stage all the control modules which communicate via the CAN data
