The Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in
the instrument cluster will be switched on if the
engine control module recognizes malfunctions
which have an affect (decrease emissions) on
exhaust emissions Page 01

Malfunctions relating to the electronic throttle
are also indicated by a Electronic Power
Control (EPC) warning light in the instrument
cluster.

Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL), significance

If the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes
emission related malfunctions, this is indicates by
the MIL coming on.

Component location of MIL
Note:
When a recognized malfunction switches on the MIL, it will either blink or
light continuously. In either case, the DTC memory must be checked
Page 01
-15
.
If the MIL starts to blink, there is a malfunction that can lead to damage of
the Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC). In this case driving should be
only continue with reduced power until the MIL goes out or stays on
continuously.
Continuos MIL
If the MIL lights continuously, there is malfunction that affects exhaust
emissions. In this case the DTC memory of the ECM and Transmission
Control Module (TCM) (if equipped) must be checked.
Some malfunctions may occur without causing the MIL to come on. When
driveability or performance problems are reported and there is no
indication from the MIL, the operation of the MIL must be checked. In
addition, the DTC memory of the ECM and TCM must be checked, as
there may be malfunctions stored that do not switch the MIL on
immediately.

Checking function

- Switch ignition on.

The MIL must light up
If the MIL does not light with ignition switched:

Cause:
MIL is not
activated or does
not light up
because of an
open circuit. Corrective action:
The MIL should light up.
If the MIL does not light up:
If the lamp and the voltage - Switch ignition off
- Connect VAG1598/31 test
box Page 24
-20

- Bridge sockets 2 and 47 on
test box
- Switch ignition on.
- Switch ignition off.
- Check whether lamp is
burned out and test voltage

Mode 5 displays the static dimensions of the oxygen sensors, which are legally required. Since these dimensions are not
directly relevant to oxygen sensor diagnostics, mode 5 is insignificant for the authorized Audi center.
With mode 6 all measured values can be checked from components and systems that are not constantly monitored.
Using mode 7, DTCs can be checked for which the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is not yet lit (MIL is not on, no DTCs
under mode 3).
Under mode 8 the tank leak test will be checked.
With mode 9 the following vehicle information can be read out: Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Part number and
program/data level of the engine control module and the check sum (this value is a internal calculated value).

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Notes:

If malfunctions occur in the sensors and components being monitored, they will be stored in the DTC memory together
with an indication of the type of malfunction. Notes on Engine Power Control (EPC) (drive by wire) Page 24
-139
.
Malfunctions relating to the electronic throttle are also indicated by the EPC (Electronic Power Control) warning light in the
instrument cluster.
Malfunction which decrease exhaust emissions are indicated by an Exhaust Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), the MIL is
located in the instrument cluster. As soon as certain malfunction are recognized, the MIL is switched on immediately.
There are also malfunctions, were the MIL is switched on only after the engine is started again.
Sporadically occurring malfunctions (temporary malfunctions) will be indicated on the VAG1551 display as "SP."
The DTC table is arranged according to the 5-digit DTC in the left-hand column.
If a malfunction is stored in the DTC memory and then does not occur again during the next 40 engine warm-up phases,
the DTC will be automatically erased.
Components that are indicated as being faulty by the VAG1551 should not be replaced immediately. Always start by
checking the wiring, connectors and Ground (GND) connections for the component using the current wiring diagram. This
is particularly important in the case of sporadic malfunctions (indicated by the letters "SP"on the scan tool display).
If the connector for the engine control module is disconnected or if the battery is disconnected, all the learned values
(adaptation values) stored in the control module will be erased, although the contents of the DTC memory will remain
intact. The next time the engine is started the idling may be rough at first. In this case let the engine run at idle for a few
