01-2
If a malfunction is no longer present after a
certain time or a long drive, it will be converted to
a sporadic (SP) DTC.
A malfunction will also be converted to sporadic
when the DTC memory is not erased after
repairs.
Malfunctions which are stored in the memory as
sporadic malfunctions, will be displayed as
"sporadic DTCs" when checked by the scan tool
V.A.G 1551. In such cases "SP" appears on the
right of the display. If the printer is switched on,
the print-out will show "sporadic DTC" after the
identification of the malfunction.
If the sporadic DTC does not occur again after 40
cold engine starts and subsequent transmission
warm-up, the malfunction in DTC memory will be
automatically erased.
The possibilities offered by On Board Diagnostic
can only be used with the Vehicle Diagnostic,
Testing and Information System VAS 5051 or the
V.A.G 1551 scan tool (mode 1, rapid data
transfer).
Available functions of Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing
and Information System VAS 5051 or the

supply is faulty or the connector becomes
disconnected), the transmission will immediately
switch to "mechanical back-up mode with
inactive control module" and continue to
operate.
