On Board Diagnostic (OBD)

Function

The Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) system is
equipped with an Engine Control Module (ECM) -
J220- with On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
capability.
When malfunctions occur in sensors or
components monitored by OBD, Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC) are stored in DTC
memory.
Stored DTCs are identified using the VAG 1551
Scan Tool (ST) Page 01
-15
.
After the necessary repairs are completed, DTC
memory must be erased Page 01
-40
.
OBD II legal regulations require a display
(readiness code) that shows inspection
readiness for the annual exhaust emissions test.
The readiness code shows that every component
and/or system that affects exhaust emissions,
which can lead to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) being switched on, has been operated at
least once with positive results.
The readiness code is reset and/or erased and
must be regenerated every time DTC memory is
erased, the power supply to the ECM -J220- is
interrupted (example: when connecting test box

Mode 7: Check DTC memory Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle Under Address word 33, Mode 1 to Mode 7 can be addressed.
Under Mode 1 individual measuring values can be displayed. Mode 1 is not recommended for use in an Audi Service
department, because these values can be displayed much more precisely using address word 01 and "Basic Setting"
function 04 or "Read Measuring Value Block" function 08.
Mode 2 shows the operating conditions under which the stored malfunctions were recognized.
With Mode 3, DTC memory is checked-with Mode 4, DTC memory is erased.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Notes:

The DTC table is organized according to SAE and VAG diagnostic trouble codes.
The "MIL" column labeled specifies the MIL switching condition associated with that DTC.
DTCs that do not switch on the MIL after the malfunction is recognized by the ECM are identified by the MIL switching
condition "Off."
DTCs that do switch on the MIL immediately after the malfunction is recognized by the ECM are identified by the MIL
switching condition "Immed."
DTCs that are recognized by the ECM and switch on the MIL after two consecutive driving cycles (Dcy) are identified by
the MIL switching condition "2 Dcy."
Always correct malfunctions that are designated "immediately" as soon as possible, followed by those malfunctions that
are designated "2Dcy."
When all repairs have been completed, erase DTC memory ( Page 01
-40
) and then generate new readiness code
Page 01
-62

DTCs that are recognized as a result of intermittent malfunctions, or DTCs that are not erased after repairs, are classified
as sporadic malfunctions. These are identified by the designation "SP" appearing in the display.
A sporadic malfunction will be erased if it no longer occurs after 50 driving cycles during which the engine reaches
