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

.
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:
