On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL )
The Ma lfunction Indicator Lamp ( MIL) ¢'4 in
the instr ument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system .
T he wa rni ng/indicator light ill uminates when
the ignit io n is switched on and goes out after
the engine sta rts and the id le has stab ilized.
This indicates that the M IL is working proper­
ly .
If the light does not go out afte r th e engine
is started, or illuminates while you are dr iv­
ing, a mal function may exist in the engine sys ­
tem .
If the light illum inates, the catalyt ic con­
verter could be damaged .
Contin ue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
ing s ustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erations) and have the cond ition corrected.
Contact your aut horized Audi dea ler.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate

On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 19 Locat io n of Data Li nk Co nnector (D LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo ­
nents of your emission contro l system. Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been ass igned a code. In case of a mal­
funct ion , the component will be identified
and the fault stored as a code in the control module memo ry.

30 Instruments and warning /indicator lights
The MIL light may a lso illuminate if there is a
leak in the on-board fue l vapor recovery sys­
tem .
If the light illuminates after a refuell ing,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed¢
page 208.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the
stored data can only be displayed using spe­
cial diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool
for OBD) .
In order to connect the special diagnostic
equipment, push the p lug into the Data L ink
Connector (DLC). The DLC is located to the
