Chapter 3 Operations
This chapter explains how to begin using the basic scan tool test functions, such as identifying a
vehicle, selecting a system for testing, and connecting to a vehicle. This information is specific to
VW/Audi vehicles. For general scan tool functionality, see the manual for your diagnostic tool.
Figure 3-1 Basic Volkswagen Audi test routine
3.1 Identifying the Vehicle
The scan tool typically identifies a vehicle using certain characters of the vehicle identification
number (VIN). The scan tool vehicle identification (ID) process prompts to you enter VIN
characters and answer questions about the vehicle to be tested.

Operations Identifying the Vehicle
3.1.1 Engine ID Codes
The vehicle identification process includes entering the test vehicle’s engine ID code. The exact
engine ID code selection is usually not required for vehicle communications, however, in order for
the scan tool to communicate with all installed systems, we recommend that you identify the
correct engine code. The scan tool has to match all possible control module identities with the
exact control module installed in the vehicle. In addition, the engine ID code is required to select
the correct OBD-II Readiness Monitor setting procedures. See the Volkswagen/Audi OBD-II
Readiness Charts for more information.
VW/Audi specific engine differences are determined by a three-digit engine ID code. In any
particular year, there could be multiple engine ID codes for any one engine. The engine codes
may represent different horsepower, torque rating or emission package.
Engine ID codes are stamped on the engine block in three-digit alpha characters followed by a
series of numbers (usually six), for example, “AEG 029452". If more than 999,999 engines with the
same engine code are produced, the first number is replaced by a letter. Newer models may also
have an adhesive label located on the timing belt cover. The engine ID code can be difficult to
locate on older engines with excessive oil and grease. Here are typical older model 4- and
6-cylinder locations:
•4-cylinder engine codes and numbers are usually stamped into the rear of the cylinder block
casting near the oil filter flange near the engine/transmission joint.
•6-cylinder engine codes are usually located on the left side of the engine block below the
camshaft timing chain tensioner. The code numbers should be visible when looking down
between the throttle valve control module and the valve cover.
Note the following when looking for an engine ID code:
•Alternatively, look in the owners “maintenance” manual for an adhesive sticker.
•For most engines, the engine ID code is also included on the vehicle data plate, typically
located in the trunk near the spare tire. This may be the easiest way to find the engine code.
Table 3-1 contains engine ID code locations for Audi models.

Operations Selecting a System
Note the following when connecting to VW/Audi vehicles:
•“Bonnet” is European for hood.
•Do not assume that the scan tool ID screen is correct if the scan tool communicates. If there
are multiple selections, the scan tool will automatically identify the electronic control module,
which means that scan tool communication does not depend on a correct engine ID code
selection.
3.3 Selecting a System
Once you have confirmed a vehicle identification and connected to a vehicle (see previous
sections), the Select System menu displays.
The items that appear on this menu vary depending on the vehicle you are testing, however, not
all of the systems will be present—some of them are optional and others are mutually exclusive.
For example, when an integrated immobilizer is present, there will be no separate immobilizer
available.
NOTE:
iSome early control modules may require an engine speed below 2000 RPM and a closed throttle
(closed CTP switch) to initialize communication. However, once communication has initialized,

Chapter 4 Expert Mode
In addition to providing the same capability as standard or vehicle ID mode, Expert Mode has
enhanced factory tool capabilities, giving the user special functions, such as setting adaptations
and control module coding. Scan tool display screens in Expert Mode give no information about
the specific procedures nor how to perform these special functions. Aftermarket information is
limited in performing these functions. Expert Mode should only be used if the user is experienced
in Volkswagen or Audi diagnostics and has the required information.
IMPORTANT:
It is possible to change and clear system settings with this function. Some functions can be
disabled and/or the control module could be corrupted by incorrect use!
IMPORTANT:
Expert Mode functionality in this manual describes only the basic operation of some of the
capabilities. Factory procedures for specific vehicles and systems must be followed to prevent any
damage or inadvertent change in critical driveability, security and safety settings. For example,
adaptation functions can disable or enable airbags, a major liability to a shop should there be a
future accident with this vehicle.

Note the following when using Expert Mode:
•There is no Custom Setup available in Expert Mode (for example, you cannot change the
temperature readings from Celsius to Fahrenheit).
•There are no Movie or Print Frame options, only Print Screen and Print Codes. Printer
communication settings must be configured in standard mode using vehicle ID or in
Demonstration mode to have the possibility to print. Expert Mode also will not work with
Snap-link™ or ScanGrafix PC graphing programs.
•When using Expert Mode, supplemental information found in VAG service manuals is
necessary to interpret displayed data values and to know the proper procedure to perform a
specific test, coding, or adaptation.
01-Read ECU Information
This function displays the control module identification string, the control module coding, and
Work Shop Code. Also, some systems will display some extra control module identification if
selected.
VW/Audi part numbers for this controller contain a version number for the controller's internal
firmware. Shop number identifies the Work Shop Code stored in the scan tool that last recoded
this control module.
NOTE:
iSome older control modules are not “codeable” and you may see a Bosch part number or other
information in theses fields.
The Extra ECU identification fields can store VIN and immobilizer information on some vehicles.
Work Shop Code
World Wide, every VW/Audi dealer is assigned a unique Work Shop Code (WSC). Factory scan
tools require a valid WSC to function, and once it has been entered, it cannot be changed.
Whenever a control module is coded, or adaptations are performed, the scan tool sends its WSC
to the control module and the control module records it. If a factory scan tool was used to perform
specific functions, such as disabling an airbag through the WSC, it may be possible to identify
which dealer performed this procedure.
22
Expert Mode Using Expert Mode
NOTE:
iThe Snap-on® VAG software does not change or alter the WSC. It reads the existing WSC and
sends it back unchanged after a procedure has been performed.
02-Check DTC Memory
This function displays all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) currently present or stored in memory.
03-Actuator Tests
This function activates different actuator tests for about 30 seconds in sequence, or depending on
the ECU you may select which available test to run. The user can abort or continue to the next test.
Some tests display a command to the user. For example, if “Press Brake Pedal” displays, the user
has to press and hold the brake pedal and then continue. The sequence, number, and type of tests
are dictated by the control module.
To perform the actuator tests, the entry conditions must be correct. For the correct entry conditions
refer to the VAG system specific workshop manual. On some systems, the actuator tests cannot
be restarted until the ignition key is switched off for some time. Alternatively, briefly start and run
the engine, shut down, turn the ignition to the run position, then re-initiate the actuator tests.
04-Basic Settings
This function can put a system in basic mode or performs a Basic Setting. This depends on the
entered block number (000–255). After entering a valid block number, data values or text can be
displayed. There is no description of the data value, only the value and unit is displayed. For
interpretation of the values, refer to the VAG system-specific workshop manual. See “Basic
Settings” on page 45 for more information.
05-Clear DTC Memory
This function attempts to clear all current and stored DTCs. After clearing, the scan tool rechecks
for DTCs, and any that reset from current problems will re-display.
06-Stop Communication
This function stops the communication and leaves the Expert Mode. If the scan tool gets
accidently disconnected, go back to the same controller and then exit properly using 06. This is
the equivalent of selecting Other Systems in standard mode.
IMPORTANT:
Always exit out of any one module using 06-Stop Communication before selecting another
module. Failure to do so may cause communication problems, corrupt data, or cause a parasitic
draw on the battery.
23
Expert Mode Using Expert Mode
07-ECU Coding
This function can change the existing control module coding by entering a new coding. The range
of coding can be 0–127, 0–32767 or 0–1048575. The coding number can tell a control module
about the configuration, for example, if cruise control is available or not.
After entering a new coding, it is sent to the control module and the scan tool reports if the new
coding is accepted or not. A coding will not be accepted if it is an unknown number or if a control
module cannot be coded. However, be aware that a control module usually does accept an
incorrect coding number.
Some special codings require an unlocked control module. The control module can be unlocked
with a Log-in or Security Access request.
Note the following regarding control module coding:
•The following login information is subject to change and is not guaranteed to work on every
application. A common VW login is 01283; a common Audi login is 13861. Specific vehicle
logins are found in that vehicle’s service manual.
•2002 vehicles using the new CAN Bus communication network may not require control
modules to be version coded, as the version coding information is obtained from the other
controllers sharing the CAN Bus. However, if the engine control module is replaced it will need
to be adapted to the immobilizer (see “Testing Immobilizer Systems” on page 75).
08-Read Measuring Value Block
This function displays measuring value blocks. After entering a valid block number, data values or
text are displayed. There is no description of the data value, only the value and unit is displayed.
For interpretation of the values, refer to the VAG system specific workshop manual. Press N to
enter the print exit menu. Scroll to change the block number. The displayed data is the actual data
received from the control module.
VW/Audi Display Group Data
Instead of one long data list, VW and Audi data is organized into display groups (Table 4-1).
However, these groups are not determined by a scan tool. Instead, these are manufacturer
predetermined groups which change depending on the vehicle and engine. Table 4-1 provides
some examples of group categories available on a late model VW and Audi.

1. Coolant temperature
2. Engine load
3. RPM
4. O2 factor
5. Idle Adapt
6. Part throttle adapt
7. Low load adapt

Expert Mode Using Expert Mode
8. IAC adapt
9. Not used
10. IGN timing
The display fields are output in binary numbers. To understand the binary number, visualize a
clock with 0 at the top center. The number 128 is at the center bottom. The binary clock counts
from 0 to 255, a rich/lean correction from base midpoint (0).
In binary output 0–255, based on O2S output, numbers fluctuate between rich (high numbers) and
lean (low numbers).
The number can theoretically range from 0 to 255 with 0 as the midpoint. A number of 13 to 128
indicates that the control module has commanded an overall lean mixture correction. A number of
128 to 243 indicates that the control module has commanded an overall rich mixture correction.
Example 4: Late Model Motronic 7.5
The following example concerns display group 000 for 1-bank systems:
1. Engine coolant temperature
2. Load
3. RPM
4. Voltage
5. Throttle valve potentiometer
6. Idle air control valve
7. Idle air control valve learning value
8. Lambda control
9. Lambda control learning value idle
10. Lambda control learning value partial load
Display group 000 for 2-bank systems:
1. Engine coolant temperature
2. Load
3. RPM
4. Throttle valve angle
5. Idle air control
6. Idle air control valve learning value
7. Lambda control Bank 1
8. Lambda control Bank 2
9. Lambda adaptation (add) Bank 1
10. Lambda adaptation (add) Bank 2
Example 5: Central Electronic Unit (09)
The four display fields for display group 012 indicate the following:
•Display field 1: Check bus—This field indicates whether the data bus is OK or faulty (e.g.
fault in single wire).

Expert Mode Using Expert Mode
•Display field 2: Equipment front—This field indicates which front control units are fitted and
participate in data transfer.
•Display field 3: Equipment rear—This field indicates which rear control units are fitted and
participate in data transfer.
•Display field 4: Accessories—This field indicates whether the seat and mirror adjustment
memory system is fitted. Both systems (convenience system and memory system)
interchange data.
NOTE:
iInter-module CAN data transfer currently cannot be checked.
09-Read ADC Channel (Except KW20001)
This function displays data from a single ADC channel. This function allows you to look at real-time
data from control modules that support it. Currently, this data has no interpretation or scaling
information.
zTo set the Read ADC Channel function:
1. Enter a valid channel number
A number from 0 to 65535 displays.
2. Scroll to change the channel number.
10-Adaptation
This function can change adaptation values from the control module and allows you to alter certain
values and/or settings in control modules which support it.
IMPORTANT:
Function 10 changes baseline settings. Do not proceed with this function unless you know the
exact procedure. Be aware that some Channels may not be documented.
Examples of things you can do with the adaptation selection:
•Alter the Idle Speed (e.g., 01-Engine Management > 10-Adaptation > 000/0001).
•Change the Service Intervals and resetting the Service Reminder Indicators (newer
instrument clusters).
•Disable/enable various components of the airbag (SRS) system.
•Change the sensitivity of the Interior Monitor (Sonar Scan) component of the alarm system in
many newer Audi models.
•Swap control modules and rematch keys (newer immobilizer-equipped cars).
•Select certain Central Locking options in newer vehicles.
1“KW2000” stands for Key Word 2000, and refers to a communication protocol which was used beginning
in 2002 on limited vehicles, such as the VW Passat 1.8L turbo, the Audi A4 1.8L and 3.0L, and the Audi
A6 3.0L.
28
Expert Mode Using Expert Mode
To change adaptation values:
1. Read the adaptation.
2. Test the adaptation.
3. Save the adaptation.
To set an adaptation:
1. Select a valid channel.
The actual adaptation value is displayed. On some adaptation channels, there will be data
displayed on the last line.
2. Scroll for manual input.
The new adaptation value can be tested or changed. For example, the engine speed is raised
to numbers greater than 128 or lowered to numbers less than 128.
3. To exit and store a new value, select to confirm or abort.
Selecting channel 000 clears all adaptation values after confirming the request.
11-Login Request (Except KW2000)
This function performs a login request to the control module. After entering a valid login code, the
control module is ready to perform a special coding or adaptation function.
Used on some (mostly 1996 and later) control modules, Login Request is necessary before you
can recode or change adaptation values. On others, it “enables” certain features like cruise
control. Valid login codes can be found in the workshop manual for the car.
The following login information is subject to change and is not guaranteed to work on every
application:
•A common VW login is 01283
•A common Audi login is 13861
NOTE:
iYou get only one chance to enter the correct login number. If you enter the wrong number, turn off
the ignition and wait 10 seconds before another attempt.
11-ECU Coding 2 (KW2000 Only)
This function can change the special control module coding by entering a new valid coding.
15-Check Readiness Code Setting (Except KW2000)
If the system has a readiness code, this function displays that readiness code and whether it is set
or not. If the system has no special readiness block, sometimes the same information can be
found in function 08 by selecting group 86 and checking Channel 1.
29
Expert Mode Testing in Expert Mode
16-Security Access (KW2000 Only)
This function performs a security access request to the control module. After entering a valid code,
the control module is ready to perform a special coding or adaptation function.
Note the following when using 16-Security Access:
•The Snap-on scan tool currently performs only 5-digit security codes.
•Some early systems cannot communicate if the engine is running.
•Some early systems cannot communicate or communication is lost if engine or vehicle speed
exceeds a certain specification. Refer to the VAG system-specific manual for details.
4.2 Testing in Expert Mode
The functions available depend on the communication protocol. Functions that can be executed
depend on the system and entry conditions. Some functions need a login or security access
before executing the particular function. Not all systems support all functions.
NOTE:
iThe 25-Immobilizer (Separated) and 44-Steering Help (Separated) systems give the following
control module identification: Bitte Adresse 17 eingeben. Although it is possible to continue and
select the functions, the information retrieved is not valid and should be discarded. The selected
system is integrated in the instrument panel. Please select 17-Electronic Instrument Panel for
diagnostics.

Testing Testing Engine Systems
VW/Audi On-board Diagnostic Availability:
1990–1995 Gas, 1992–2002 Diesel
The VW/Audi software starts VW/Audi US VIN ID in 1991 (US vehicle systems) and only identifies
those vehicles with Codes and Data (does not retrieve blink codes). Table 5-4 on page 36 depicts
many early year models with some vehicles having scan tool diagnostics depending on Emission
certification or country, engine system description, including emission certification and early
systems without diagnostic capability.
Starting in 1990, VW and Audi started using digital engine management systems on some models
that were sold only in California.
Note the following when determining diagnostic availability:
•Only some of these early systems may have codes and rapid or serial data.
•There are some early blink code only systems not listed in Table 5-4 on page 36.
•For 1991–93, certain engine codes have data on California (CA) models only. Federal
vehicles with the same engine code will display a “no communication” message and an
additional message stating “Federal Vehicles are not capable of communicating.” Federal
Vehicles may have blink codes.
•If the underhood emission label is missing, distinguishing between CA or Federal vehicles
may be difficult. Also, Federal vehicles may still have the white/black diagnostic connector
(under shifter boot). This connector may not be functional or may be for transmission (4-speed
only) or ABS data. Only the 9A Federal emission equipped engine has engine data. To help
identify a CA emission engine, check for a functional Malfunction Indicator Lamp (ignition on,
engine off) or check for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve installed on the engine.
•European IDs can be used where the VIN cannot. The following systems can not be identified
using US VIN ID. Use the alternate IDs below.
–For the 1990 Golf/Jetta/GTI/Corrado/Passat using the 2.0L (9A) with CIS-E Motronic, ID
as a 1991 Passat or use European ID for 1990 Golf or Jetta.
–For the 1993–1994 Golf 1.8L (ACC), ID as a 1995 model year or use European ID and
select 1993 or 1994 Golf 1.8L ACC.

5. Decelerate.
6. Perform all steps several times.
Remember that all modules should be re-checked for codes after the test drive. Use automatic
test mode to automatically print out all interrogated modules and codes (“00-Automatic
System Test” on page 20).
Important Tips for Codes
•The message on the scan tool states that to clear codes, the engine must be off. Input from
field technicians indicates that this is not always necessary.
•Intermittent codes have the message “Error Occurs Intermittent” after the code description
(VW calls these codes “sporadic”). Codes are considered intermittent if they occur for a
maximum of five seconds. Intermittent codes do not turn the Check Engine Light on. They are
automatically erased from memory after 40 drive cycles if they do not occur again. When a
malfunction is first detected, it is stored as a static or pending malfunction. If the malfunction
no longer exists after a pre-determined time or distance travelled, then it is labelled
intermittent.
•Most 1995 and earlier Bosch control modules may show you a false DTC “00513 - Engine
Speed Sensor (G28)” if the engine is not running. This fault code should disappear once the
engine is started. With a defective sensor, the engine would not start. In addition, many
automatic transmission control modules may show a DTC that indicates a faulty brake light
switch. This usually can be ignored and usually will not appear if you press the brakes once
before checking for fault codes.
•Disconnecting the battery may erase fault codes and basic settings on pre-OBD-II vehicles,
which may result in driveability problems. Disconnecting the battery on OBD-II vehicles does
not erase stored codes or turn the MIL off. However, intermittent codes and control unit
adaptation learned values may be erased in both the engine and transmission.
•Disconnecting the battery may require resetting of convenience electronics such as alarm,
interior lights, radio, etc. It is recommended to use a jumper battery or battery charger to
maintain power when replacing a battery.
•Readiness Codes need to be reset after codes are cleared or the battery has been
disconnected. Throttle body adaptation relearn is essential and may prevent the engine from
starting. See “Testing Electronic Throttle Systems” on page 67 for more information.
•Be aware that clearing codes may not change throttle body adaptation status to “not ready”
(060 or 098), but throttle body reset is highly recommended to ensure no problems. See the
Volkswagen/Audi OBD-II Readiness Code Charts for additional information.
•Sometimes a fault code is displayed for a component which is not installed in the vehicle
under test (i.e., a cruise control). This code cannot be cleared. Always make sure the
component the code refers to is present when a code cannot be cleared.
•Performing activation tests may set false codes. Always check and clear codes after
performing activation tests.
•Vehicles with Drive-by-Wire (no throttle cable) cannot be power-braked. The Brake On signal
notifies the control module to command the throttle closed and may also set false codes.
•Vehicles with full Drive-by-Wire (no throttle cable), usually have a EPC (Electronic Power
Control) indicator light. The EPC light should come on if there is any problem in the
Drive-by-Wire system. Faults detected by the EPC set duplicate fault codes in the ECM.
•Electronic Instrument Clusters may store only up to four fault codes. Intermittent fault codes
are automatically erased if they do not reoccur in the next 50 engine starts.
42
Testing Testing Engine Systems
•Diesel Only: Late model Diesel TDI engines (1996 and newer) may have three different
code-setting MILs. All three of the following lamps set codes in the ECM memory.
–Engine Management Check Engine Lamp
–Glow Plug Warning Lamp
This lamp has dual functions: the lamp is on when starting a cold engine, which normally
indicates that glow plugs are on; blinking lamps indicate malfunctions that affect
driveability.
–Exhaust Warning Lamp
This lamp is switched on with faults that adversely affect emissions (not all exhaust gas
faults turn the lamp on; always check for codes regardless of lamp).
5.2.3 Data
A Data selection is available from the Main Menu of most vehicles, but only when “Engine
Management” is selected from the System Selection menu (see “Selecting a System” on
page 15). Viewing data in standard mode with the scan tool does not affect vehicle operation.
The Data selection displays the following choices:
•Data Groups displays data in diagnostic groups to make problem solving easier.
•Codes & Data displays all data parameters and codes together but the screen data has a
slower refresh rate.
•Return To Main Menu takes you back to the Main Menu.
NOTE:
iSome late model vehicles may communicate with the scan tool with the ignition switched off,
though communication is limited to the ECM, and data values received may be erroneous. Always
communicate with the ignition on.
Data Groups
The Data Groups mode first displays a Group Selection screen.
The data group items available will vary from one vehicle to another. For some vehicles, the data
groups list may be as short as two groups, or it may be as long as 25 groups.
NOTE:
iIt is possible to read any display group like the factory tool by selecting Readiness Code from the
Functional Tests menu or by selecting Expert Mode > 08-Read Measuring Value Block and
entering the display group. Data is displayed in a four-channel format, like the factory tool.
zTo display data groups:
1. Select any specific group.
A Data Group screen displays.
When the scan tool first enters the group, it displays the group title and three lines of data.
Scroll down and the scan tool displays the rest of the group data, until End Of Group displays.
43
Testing Testing Engine Systems
2. Scroll past the last line and the scan tool attempts to communicate with the next group in the
list and displays the Requesting Data Group screen.
3. After communication has been reestablished, the next group for that vehicle displays.
In this way it is possible to scroll though all the data groups, scrolling in the opposite direction
moves through the groups in reverse order.
Codes & Data
Selecting Codes & Data displays codes and data together.
NOTE:
iThe data in the Codes & Data display are preselected from the individual display groups. It is
important to note that except for a few early models (with only one display group 000) the
preselected “codes and data” represents a limited list that may not include all possible display
groups. There may be more display groups available in Expert Mode than in standard mode.
Check Expert Mode for any missing display groups.
Reading Codes & Data or individual display group data (Measuring Value Blocks 08) can be used
for testing as the engine operates normally. The scan tool does not affect the control module when
reading data (08). This is not true for 04-Basic Settings (see page 22).
5.2.4 Functional Tests
The Functional Tests menu gives you the ability to activate components of the engine
management system.
Initiate Actuator Tests
Which actuators can be activated depends on the control module under test and the vehicle itself.
Actuators can include the following:
•Fuel pump relay
•EVAP canister purge valve
•Injector valves (odd and even cylinders)
•Oxygen sensor (O2S) heater relay
IMPORTANT:
The Fuel Pump will run continuously while the Actuator tests are in progress.
The scan tool commands the control module to activate a component, but it does not check
whether the component is actually operating correctly.
In most cases, the effect can be clearly heard: a relay clicks or a pump runs. Be aware, actuators
can be mounted anywhere within the vehicle, (i.e., under the dashboard, under the hood, and
even in the trunk). If no reaction can be heard at all, measure the actuator with an oscilloscope or
a multimeter. This indicates whether the control module is controlling the component properly.
44
Testing Testing Engine Systems
When Initiate Actuator Tests is selected, the scan tool sequentially activates each of the actuators
for 30 seconds. For example, running actuator tests on a 2002 W8 Passat would activate the
following actuators in the following sequence:
1. TAnk Vent Valve
2. Secondary Air Control
3. Secondary Air Pump
4. Bank 1 Camshaft Adjustment
5. Evaporative Emission Control System L.D.P.
6. Valve Engine Mounting
7. Bank 2 Camshaft Adjustment
8. Exhaust Cam Timing Valve B1
9. Exhaust Cam Timing Valve B2
10. Control Vacuum Pump Brake
11. Cooling Fan High Speed
12. Cooling Fan Low Speed
13. Cooling Fan Low Speed Deactivated
14. Relay Additional Coolant Pump
15. Injector 1 Activated
16. Injector 1 Deactivated
17. Injector 2 Activated
18. Injector 2 Deactivated
19. Injector 3 Activated
20. Injector 3 Deactivated
21. Injector 4 Activated
22. Injector 4 Deactivated
23. Injector 5 Activated
24. Injector 5 Deactivated
25. Injector 6 Activated
26. Injector 6 Deactivated
27. Injector 7 Activated
28. Injector 7 Deactivated
29. Injector 8 Activated
30. Injector 8 Deactivated
Before the actuator tests can be re-initiated, the vehicle ignition must be turned off. Then, start the
engine, turn the engine off, then turn the ignition switch on again. If the actuator tests are
re-initialized without the ignition being cycled, the Actuator Test Not Possible screen displays.
zTo run actuator tests:
1. Select Initiate Actuator Tests from the Functional Tests menu.
A warning message displays.
2. Select to continue.
45
Testing Testing Engine Systems
The scan tool proceeds directly to the first actuator test available for the current vehicle ID.
This test automatically activates all the actuators applicable to the vehicle for approximately
30 seconds each. The current test displays on-screen.
Important Tips for VW/Audi Engine Actuator Tests
•The Output Test Function is only available when the engine is not running.
•Exiting and reselecting actuator tests will not re-initiate actuator tests on some engines. It is
not recommended to interrupt the test sequence once it has been started. Exiting while an
output is activated causes a “Close Controller” command to be issued. If exiting and
reselecting the actuator test does not work, turn the key off for 10 seconds, then start the
engine, then shut the engine off. Turn the ignition on, then reselect Initiate Actuator Tests from
the Functional Test menu. Most control modules will permit the Output Test Sequence to be
run only one time per session. Therefore, each new session will usually require an ignition
reset and engine start. Verify that the component is present on the vehicle you are testing.
•Have the engine running only when instructed to do so by the scan tool and always follow the
instructions displayed on the scan tool.
•With some engines, it is very difficult to hear the injectors click. Use a multimeter, scope, or
stethoscope to make sure the injectors are activated properly (if injectors can be reached, it is
sometimes possible to feel the injectors working).
•The sequence in which the tests are performed and the availability of the tests are controlled
by the control module under test. Output tests available are not determined by the scan tool.
•On some engines, before the actuator test can be re-initiated, the engine has to run at least
30 seconds prior to the test.
•Some automatic transmission systems do not have actuator tests. If Initiate Actuator Tests is
selected one of these systems, an Actuator Test Not Possible message displays.
•Some outputs require additional action before they become active. Fuel injectors are a
common example. To activate a fuel injector, you must press (and in some cases release) the
accelerator pedal.
!WARNING
Risk of erratic vehicle response.
• Do not use the Output Tests function on any system while the car is in motion.
Erratic vehicle response can cause serious injury.
Review ECU ID
This menu item displays the identification data of the control module under test. The data
displayed may be required when ordering replacement components for the vehicle.
Supplemental control module information may be available, if so, it can consist of the VIN number,
module numbers for additional control units, or other information sent by the control module.
The Review ECU ID screen should display when selected, follow screen instructions.
Basic Settings
Basic Settings has different functions depending on the year, make, and model. Generally, it
involves invoking a specific control module to run in a special mode of operation that either sets
46
Testing Testing Engine Systems
the conditions to perform an adjustment or internally run a test. When in Basic Settings, the user
may be required to:
•Command the scan tool by entering the correct numbers and making the correct on-screen
selections.
•Create the correct vehicle conditions for a diagnostic test to run.
•Operate the vehicle for Accelerated Adaptive Learning.
•Perform an adjustment procedure.
NOTE:
iBasic Setting mode is also used to run system or subsystem Readiness Codes, which verify repair
work (see Readiness Code supplement for more information).
You can select BASIC SETTING from three different menu choices on the scan tool:
•Functional Test menu > Basic Settings—This Basic Setting selection will only have one or
two preselected tests with help screens.
This selection for Basic Settings is different from the “Expert Mode” Basic Settings. This
selection will list only one or two important procedures with help screens to guide you through
the process. Note that in “Expert mode” neither Basic Settings nor any other selection have
any help screens available.
•Functional Test menu > Readiness Code > 04-Basic Setting—This Readiness Code mini
Expert Mode has some but not all of the functions available under the main Expert Mode.
•Expert Mode > 01-Engine Management Master > 04-Basic Setting—Viewing data in Basic
Settings (04) is very similar to viewing data in display group mode (08, Measuring Value
Blocks). The display group numbers and the specific data displayed are the same, however,
the difference is that in Basic Settings the Control Module performs various calibrations or
activates certain tests which should be reflected in the readings.
Engine Management Functional Test Menu
The following Basic Settings can be selected if available:
•Throttle Valve Adjuster/Idling Control/Adaptation EPC-System (Electronic Throttle
Body Adaptation). In this Basic Setting, the control module relearns the throttle position
using an automatic procedure. See “Testing Electronic Throttle Systems” on page 67.
NOTE:
iIf possible, the factory procedure recommends performing this test with the engine cold.
•Kickdown Function. In this Basic Setting, the control module relearns the kickdown position
for the automatic transmission. The procedure must be followed exactly. Hold the throttle for
3 seconds, by pressing down the throttle fully to the floor, then release (make sure you feel the
kickdown switch engage).
–Always check for kickdown selection in the Engine Functional Test menu, as kickdown
adaptation is not always included in the Readiness Code Charts.
–Kickdown may also be selected in Expert Mode. In engine or transmission, select basic
settings 04/000. Remember that in Expert mode there are no help screens. Once in Basic
Settings, depress the throttle to the floor for three seconds, then release. Press N to exit.
New kickdown learn settings should be set (no feedback on-screen).
47
Testing Testing Engine Systems
On some models, kickdown relearn may not set properly using Basic Settings in the
transmission controller. There is no way to verify that the kickdown reset test has been
completed by looking at the transmission data. A test drive before and after may verify that the
test was completed. Alternately, select engine management data and select display group
063. If kickdown adaptation status reports an error, go back and select Basic Settings in the
Engine Management Functional Tests menu, then select kickdown as stated above.
•Ignition Timing. While in Basic Settings mode the ignition timing is fixed; the control module
will not attempt to compensate for any variation in ignition timing or idle speed. After any
adjustments, cancel to return engine control to the control module.
•Start of Delivery (Diesel Engines). In this Basic Setting, the engine is set in a mode so the
start of delivery can be checked or manually adjusted. The actual value as well as the
minimum and maximum values are displayed (values displayed depend on temperature).
Basic Setting Screen
With most Basic Settings, data displays with the required instructions.
Always end the Basic Setting session by selecting Other Systems to be sure that the settings are
stored. Turn the ignition key off and wait 60 seconds, to ensure that adaptation has occurred.
IMPORTANT:
You should refer to the Service Manual for a specific vehicle and engine before attempting to use
the Basic Settings function. Using an incorrect procedure can have negative consequences.
In Basic Settings, certain functions are disabled or stabilized to avoid learning interference and to
allow specific tests to run or adaptive learning to happen. Learning usually starts 20 seconds after
the initiation of Basic Settings if the engine is at normal operating temperature. Exactly what Basic
Setting controls varies by year, vehicle and engine.
Example 1: 1993–1995 engine code AAA or ABA
1. Stabilizes ignition
2. Stabilizes Idle Speed
3. Disables the A/C
4. Disables the Evaporative Control System
Example 2: All Late Model OBD-II
1. A/C is shut off
2. No idle stabilization
3. Disables the Evaporative Control System
4. Runs Readiness Code Monitors
5. Enables accelerated learning
NOTE:
iIn Basic Settings, Evaporative and Leak Detection functions are usually only temporarily disabled
depending on the function.
48
Testing Testing Engine Systems
Basic Settings and Adaptive Learned Values
Operating parameter values are preprogrammed into the control module as default values.
Control module adaptive learning adjusts to these default values as changes in engine conditions
occur. If the battery or control module is disconnected or fault codes are erased, learned values
are erased and the control module reverts back to the default values. The engine runs, but the
default values may not match the current needs of the engine, which can result in poor
performance. Also, when repairs are made, the default values may not match the current needs
of the engine. The control module has to relearn new adaptive values over time as the vehicle is
driven. To expedite the learning process, the scan tool in Basic Settings can force the control
module to learn current conditions in several minutes compared to normally taking several days of
extended driving to meet all the different conditions.
Basic Settings and Fuel Trim Accelerated Learning
After repairs, Long Term Fuel Trim adaptation settings need to be relearned or the vehicle may not
operate properly. Basic Settings can be used to accelerate learning, greatly reducing the normal
time under standard operating conditions that it would take for adaptation to readjust itself. Note
that Audi repair strategy usually includes basic settings accelerated learning, but VW is limited to
specific models and systems. However, because VW and Audi share the same technology, Basic
Settings may work similarly on VW. For Fuel Trim accelerated Learning on both VW and Audi,
initiate basic settings for accelerated learning in the appropriate fuel trim display group (see
“Appendix C Fuel Control Learning Adaptation Values” on page 157). After selecting a display
group in Basic Settings, check that the scan tool does not report an error, which usually indicates
that Basic Settings is not available for that display group. If no error is reported and the engine is
fully warmed up, perform a short road test and monitor if the readings change. If an error is
reported, then Basic Settings cannot be used for accelerated learning and a longer road test will
be necessary for proper fuel control learning to occur.
Example: Using basic settings for accelerated learning to assist in diagnosis.
After replacement of a faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on a late model Audi, a technician wants
to validate the repair and reset the Long-term fuel trim values. Being careful not to clear codes
before road testing because this resets the learned values to 0, the technician records the fuel trim
adaptation values (idle and part throttle adaptation) for after repair comparison. With the engine is
at operating temperature, Basic Setting in display group 032 is selected, and idle for 3–5 minutes.
Then a short road test (1–2 miles) is performed, which includes a few stop-and-go part throttle
accelerations. The new MAF should substantially change the fuel trim adaptation values. If values
are normal, clear codes and then set all the readiness codes to the OK status. If they all set OK,
the technician is very confident that there are no other problems. A final road test is always a good
idea, checking for any possible intermittent problems.
NOTE:
iOut-of-range adaptation readings resulting from a faulty component like a MAF sensor usually will
not set a code or turn the MIL on until values are excessive (±14). Normal adaptation readings with
a good MAF sensor should not exceed ±5% Clearing codes or initializing Basic Settings resets the
adaptation values back to base or zero. Recording the previous reset readings for comparison is
helpful to verify that the repair has corrected the problem.
49
Testing Testing Engine Systems
Basic Settings and Readiness Codes on OBD-II Vehicles
Basic Settings is also used on OBD-II vehicles to set Readiness Codes. These are OBD-II
Readiness monitor tests that are commanded by the scan tool using Basic Settings.
All Readiness Code tests are run using Basic Settings. OBD-II Readiness Code tests automate
many of the previous OBD-I and some early Audi OBD-II adaptation learn procedures that
previously required driving the vehicle. Now many of these relearn procedures can be
accomplished in the shop without a complex test drive.
On OBD-II vehicles with electronic throttle bodies, the most common use for the Basic Settings
function is to recalibrate the throttle position sensors. This is accomplished using Group 098
(electronic throttle with a cable) or 060 (electronic throttle without a cable—full, Drive-by-Wire).
Basic Settings learning is prohibited when:
•Malfunction codes are stored.
•Engine idle is uneven (surging).
•Engine coolant temperature is below 176°F (80°C) or above 230°F (110°C).
•Fuel Mixture is too rich or lean (an excessive difference between the richest and leanest
oxygen sensor learning values).
•During acceleration and at Wide Open Throttle. Learning takes place only at idle (650–900
RPM) and at 1500–3000 RPM. Road test the vehicle at steady cruise to set the part throttle
fuel trim adaptation.
NOTE:
iDuring the diagnosis, if a vehicle has a possible fuel control related problem, it is recommended
to record both the idle and part throttle adaptation values (usually display group 032) before
clearing codes or performing basic settings. Out of specification adaptation readings may not
always set a code. Clearing codes resets the adaptation values and basic settings initiates
accelerated learning. Using the previous readings for comparison is helpful to verify that the repair
has corrected the problem.
NOTE:
iAlways end the Basic Settings session by selecting Other Systems in standard mode or 06-Stop
Communication in Expert Mode to be sure that the settings are stored. Turn the ignition key off and
wait 60 seconds.
Other Basic Setting System Functions
Crankshaft Sensor Wheel Learning. Correction for flywheel gear teeth inconsistency for misfire
detection. When the scan tool is connected to the vehicle during a road test in Basic Settings with
the appropriate display group for a specific vehicle, the CKP Sensor wheel is tested during a
deceleration fuel shutoff at 2200–4000 RPM. After the learning has occurred, Channel 4 changes
to “OK” or learned status “YES”.
Basic Ignition Timing Check. Available on most late 1980s to mid-1990s vehicles with
adjustable ignition timing. In 04-Basic Setting, the DIS (digital Idle stabilization) is shut down. Base
ignition timing can now be checked. On some early vehicles, Basic Setting may also force an open
loop operation to allow for mixture adjustment.
50
Testing Testing Engine Systems
Xenon Lights base setting level control adjustment. Basic setting is required for Automatic
vertical headlight aim control which keeps the tilt angle of the low beam constant regardless of
acceleration or load shift.
Problems with Basic Settings
If the adaptation status displays Error, or other problems occur, read the trouble codes for more
information. Check the required conditions and try the basic setting again.
Service Interval Reset
This section includes different service reset procedures for various types of electronic instrument
clusters. However, most of these will apply to Audi only and also depend on whether a high or low
end cluster is installed (optional equipment on some models).
NOTE:
iUse Expert Mode for communication problems with the Electronic Instrument service interval
reset or if Service Interval Reset is not on the menu. Select 17-Electronic Instrument Panel >
10-Adaptation, then select channel 5 (005), scroll in the 8 for 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles).
Channel 6 is the distance value (24 = 24,000 kilometers or 15,000 miles). Channel 7 is the time
value until the next Inspection 1 (36 = 360 days). Channel 8 is the time to Inspection 2 (72 = 720
days). See “Chapter 4 Expert Mode” on page 18 for more information.

VW automatic transmission controllers started using digital diagnostics in 1989 on the Passat with
the 095 transmission (4-speed) and continued with 096/01M and 098/01P. 5-speeds include the
01V and 09A. All VW transmissions use digital controllers with codes.
Audi started with the 097 transmission (4-speed) in 1990 on 80/90/100 models and continued with
01F, 01K, 01N 5-speeds, which includes the 01L and 01V transmissions. The newest
transmission called the Constant Velocity Transmission (CVT) is designated the 01J.
The VW/Audi vehicle communication software starts VIN ID in 1991 (US vehicle systems). On
early 1990–1992 vehicles, using VIN ID regular mode the scan tool may display codes only.
Using regular mode, transmission data may not be available until 1993, but you can use Expert
Mode to read transmission data on pre-1993 vehicles. See Table 5-8 for coverage.
Table 5-7 lists Volkswagen/Audi transmissions from 1988 to 2003 and their features, and

5.3.2 4-Speed Automatic Transmission—01N
The 01N transmission is an electronically-controlled transmission with adaptive control. Shift
points are automatically regulated to provide three distinct operating characteristics:
•Comfort driving, maximum fuel economy (shift points are kept low)
•Average driving (shift points are slightly raised)
•High-performance driving (shift points increase to allow higher engine speed between gears)
The transmission control module can tune the shift program incrementally between these modes
with up to 244 variations. This is referred to as the DSP (Dynamic Shift Program). Each of these
244 variations can be seen using the scan tool. Tapping the accelerator twice will raise the
program one level, which means that the transmission shift points will occur at a higher engine
RPM. These increments are indicated on the scan tool by numbers 0–244, with 0 representing the
lowest RPM shift points and 244 indicating the highest.
5.3.3 VW Series—095, 096, 01M
These TCMs have gear changes based on driving situation (Fuzzy Logic). Depending on the
driving situation and driving force resistance, gear change points are determined automatically.
These transmissions have the following advantages:
•Gear changes are fuel consumption orientated.
•Maximum engine output is always available.

•Individual adaptation of gear change points in all driving situations.
•Gear change points are infinitely variable.
A gear change map automatically selects gear changes for gradients depending on accelerator
pedal position and driving speed, which has the following advantages:
•Gear change map for extreme uphill stretches is matched to engine output.
•Gear change map for extreme downhill stretches is matched to the engine braking effect.
5.3.4 Audi Transmission—01F, 01K
NOTE:
iAudi transmission Fuzzy Logic Shift Adaptation features are usually more complicated than
Volkswagen transmissions.
The Dynamic Selection Program (DSP) represents a new form of intelligent switching logic. DSP
eliminates the program switch. It can choose automatically between five different selection
programs and makes for optimum adaptation of the gear selection characteristic to vehicle
handling and usage conditions. The signals for Throttle-valve Opening, Engine Speed, Road
Speed and Vehicle Longitudinal Acceleration/deceleration are used by the TCM to determine a
characteristic response number which forms the basis for selection of one of the five programs.
Control of the shift points can be a long-term or a short-term function.
DSP offers the following advantages:
•Better adaptation of shift points to driving habits and traffic situations (five instead of two
selection programs).
•No driver-selected program switch.
•Better handling in extreme situations, for example when towing a trailer or on a steep hill.
•Greater fuel economy than previous “Economy” driving program in urban traffic.
•Further improved power potential in selection program 5 as opposed to the previous “sport”
driving program.
Long-term functions include the following:
•A normal driving style results in a low characteristic response number which results in a more
fuel-economic selection program where the gears are shifted in average time.
•A sporty driving style results in a high characteristic response number and a selection
program where switching up a gear is delayed and switching down a gear is done sooner.
Short-term functions include the following:
•Instant selection program at a road speed in excess of 34 MPH (55 KPH).
•With rapid acceleration, a shift-down to the lowest possible gear without fully depressing the
kickdown switch.
•Returns to the original selection program following initiation of an upward gearshift or after
dropping below a fixed throttle-valve value.

Testing Testing Transmission Systems
5.3.5 Important Tips for Transmission Codes
•For both VW and Audi, on 1996 and newer models, when emission or limp-home related
transmission faults are stored, all the dash transmission gear selector indicator lights may turn
on and stay on until fault is cleared. For some pre-OBD-II models, the PRND321 light may turn
on or flash. Some may reverse video foreground/background (black background/white letters)
when transmission codes are stored.
•For both VW and Audi, transmission limp-home mode defaults to a fixed gear (2nd or 3rd
gear). Certain stored codes initiate limp-home mode. The transmission stays in limp-home
until the fault or faults are repaired.
•Multifunction switch-related faults usually turn the transmission MIL on. Other faults are less
predictable.
•Transmission codes affecting emissions may not turn on the transmission MIL.
•For some sensor-related faults, the transmission control unit may substitute a fixed value.
•Not all faults initiate limp-home mode. There are different degrees of limp-home mode
depending on the problem.
•After repairs, solenoid-related faults usually clear failsafe mode. Other faults usually require a
clear codes function before the failsafe clears. In addition, the transmission may not shift
correctly until codes are cleared. Always clear codes after repairs which reset any modified
shift operation or failsafe mode.
•On 1996 or newer models, disconnecting the vehicle battery will not turn out the engine or the
transmission MIL.
•Intermittent faults have “Error Occurs Intermittent” after the code description. Intermittent
codes are faults usually not reoccurring within a minimum of 3 miles or 6 minutes and a
maximum of 12 miles or 24 minutes. When a malfunction is first detected, it is stored as a
static or pending malfunction. If the malfunction no longer exists after the above listed
pre-determined time or distance traveled, then it is labeled intermittent. Intermittent faults
usually auto erase after 625 miles or 20 hours of operation.
•Codes may set if the vehicle battery is disconnected or if the transmission is removed from
vehicle for service.
•Most 1995 and earlier Bosch control modules may display a false DTC, such as
“00513-Engine Speed Sensor (G28)” or “00526-Brake Light Implausible Signal” if the engine
is not running. These fault codes should disappear once the engine is started. With a defective
sensor, the engine would not start.
•If DTC memory cannot be cleared, check that the ignition switch position was not altered
during DTC retrieval. The ignition switch must remain on during DTC retrieval and the clearing
procedure.
•DTCs need to have the test followed exactly. First, check DTC memory and repair
malfunctions. Next, erase DTC memory.
•On early transmissions (1989–1992), use Expert Mode for data parameters. With some 1989
models with the scan tool hooked up, the vehicle may only accelerate to 1900 RPM. This is
normal vehicle software operation. Use Expert mode to obtain the data group binary readings
and get help with interpretation in “Transmission Expert Mode Parameters” on page 148.

5.3.6 Transmission Basic Settings
This selection for Basic Settings is different from the “Expert Mode” Basic Settings. This selection
will only list up to two adaptation tests with help. See “Basic Settings” on page 45 for a complete
description of Basic Settings.
The following selections are available from the Basic Setting menu. The first selection, Throttle
Body Adaptation, must be done in Engine testing (see “Engine Management Functional Test
Menu” on page 46). Kickdown Function may be done in Transmission testing.
Restore a system to Basic Setting (adaptation) after performing the following repairs:
•Engine exchange
•Throttle position adjustment
•Throttle valve conversion
•Replacement of throttle position sensor
•Replacement of transmission control module
•Transaxle shifting concern
NOTE:
iCheck for any codes present and clear before starting this procedure.
•Throttle Body Adaptation. In this Basic Setting, the control module learns the throttle
position with an automatic procedure. The electronic throttle body needs to be readapted
every time codes are cleared or control module power is disconnected.
•Throttle Body and Transmission kickdown adaptations (also included as part of Readiness
Codes) must be set to avoid driveability problems. The other OBD-II Readiness Codes will set
on their own eventually and not produce driveability problems. Clearing codes may not
necessarily change throttle body adaptation status to NOT OK, however, driveability problems
may occur after an extended road test.
•Kickdown Function. In this Basic Setting, the control module relearns the kickdown position
for the automatic transmission. In addition, shift learned values are reset to base settings.
Resetting can be very useful for various driving styles causing learned erratic shifting. The
procedure must be followed exactly. Hold the throttle for 3 seconds, by pressing down the
throttle fully to the floor, then release (make sure you feel the kickdown switch engage).
–Always check for kickdown selection in the Engine Functional Test menu, as kickdown
adaptation is not always included in the Readiness Code Charts.
–Kickdown may also be selected in Expert Mode. In engine or transmission, select Basic
Setting 04/000. Remember that in Expert mode there are no screen prompts. Once in
Basic Settings, depress the throttle to floor for three seconds, then release. Press N to
exit. New kickdown learn settings should be set (no feedback on-screen).
–On some models, kickdown relearn may not set properly using Basic Settings in the
transmission controller. There is no way to verify that the kickdown reset test has been
completed by looking at the transmission data. A test drive before and after may verify that
the test was completed or select engine management data and select display group 063.
If kickdown adaptation status reports an error, go back and select Basic Settings in the
Engine Management Functional Tests menu, then select kickdown as stated above.

Testing Testing Transmission Systems
NOTE:
iVW added a resistor to the brake pedal circuit that activates the kickdown relearn procedure when
the brake pedal has been depressed. This resets transmission adaptation on some models during
brake apply.
Important Tips for Transmission Basic Settings
•Basic Settings 04/000 also resets transmission learned shifting adaptation to 0 or base point.
Some early transmissions have no Basic Setting selection. To reset adaptation on these,
switch the ignition on without starting the engine and press the accelerator all the way to the
floor, turn ignition off, let up on accelerator, restart engine. Drive the car and monitor shifting.
It should shift at default with no learning. Early transmissions may require an extended road
test to learn new shift adaptation.
5.3.7 Functional Tests—VW Passat 01V
A differentiation is made between two types 01V transmissions:
•Type I has the transmission input speed sensor (inductive sensor) secured to the underside
of the valve body (E17).
•Type II has the input speed sensor secured behind the valve body at the transmission housing
(E 18-2).
Both types have the following output diagnostic tests available in Functional Tests:
•The output diagnostic test mode is a part of a system electric test. The output diagnostic test
mode checks the solenoid valves, the shift lock solenoid, the kickdown switch, and the relay
for the solenoid valves.
•The output diagnostic test mode can only be performed when the selector lever is position “P”,
the engine is not running and the vehicle is stationary.
•The output diagnostic will be terminated if the engine is started.
•The function of the solenoid valves 1-N88-, 2-N89-, 3-N90- and the solenoids for the selector
lever lock are checked acoustically during the output diagnostic test mode. Avoid noise in the
surrounding area during the acoustic check because the switching noise (clicking) of the final
controls is very quiet.
•The solenoid valves 4 –N91-, 5-N92-, 6-N93- and 7 –N94- are activated during the output
diagnostic test mode. A direct functional check of these valves is not possible. But a possible
electrical fault, which occurs during the activation, will be recognized by the on-board
diagnostic (OBD) and stored in the DTC memory.
•Only one complete output diagnostic test mode is possible after switching the ignition on. To
repeat the output diagnostic test mode, the ignition must be switched off and on again
(sometimes this may require engine to be started).

Fail-safe Functions of the TCM
If individual or several components or sensors fail, the transmission control module (TCM)
activates corresponding substitute functions or backup programs to ensure the automatic
transmission operates, allowing a vehicle to be driven to a safe location. The respective effect is
noticeable on the operation and quality of the gearshifts.
66
Testing Testing Transmission Systems
If critical malfunctions occur and the TCM is active, the gear engaged at that moment is
maintained initially. The TCM activates the “Fail-safe mode with active control module” as soon as
the driving situation permits it while ensuring transmission security and road safety.
Fail-safe Mode with Active Control Module
•Transmission shifts out of all forward gears into hydraulic 4th gear. Torque converter clutch is
open. All solenoid valves are de-energized.
•Maximum shift pressure applied to the power-transmitting elements.
•Reverse gear can be engaged. Selector lever lock is inactive (In “P” and “N”)
•All the segments of the gear display light up completely.
If the TCM fails, the transmission immediately continues to operate in “Fail-safe mode with
non-active control module”.
Fail-safe Mode with Non-active Control Module
•Transmission shifts out of all forward gears into hydraulic 4th gear. Torque converter clutch is
open. All solenoid valves are de-energized.
•Maximum shift pressure applied to the power-transmitting elements.
•Reverse gear can be engaged. Selector lever lock is inactive (“P” and “N”).
•All the segments of the gear display are dark.
•The TCM is completely inoperative and it is not possible to initiate the on-board diagnostic.
5.3.8 VW/Audi Transmission Emergency Operation—01V
If an electrical fault occurs, and depending on the TCM, emergency operation may use two
different limp-home programs to prevent transmission damage while retaining the ability of the
vehicle to move. In either mode, all segments of gear indicator usually light up.
Emergency Operation 1
In the absence of certain signals, the TCM switches to maximum modulation pressure (pressure
for actuating shift elements). Clutches and brakes in the transmission are rapidly operated and
protected against damage. The transmission will shift harshly in this mode.
Emergency Operation 2
In the absence of certain signals or actuator circuits, the TCM de-energizes the relay for the
solenoid valves. The solenoid valves in the valve assembly are deactivated, thus preventing gear
selection. If this occurs while the engine is running, 4th gear is engaged. If the vehicle is braked to
a standstill, the engine cuts out since 4th gear is a direct mechanical drive with no converter
action. On restarting the engine, it is possible to drive in 2nd gear and reverse.
67
Testing Testing Electronic Throttle Systems
NOTE:
iTwo important relays are housed in the control module. The solenoid-valve relay serves as a
safety relay and is de-energized in limp-home mode as is the relay for the cruise control system.
5.4 Testing Electronic Throttle Systems
The following sections contain scan tool testing information for VW/Audi electronic throttle
systems.
5.4.1 Throttle Valve Control Module Adaptation
All 1996 VW/Audi electronic throttle systems require adaptation. There are different electronic
throttle types as described further in this section, but all types require the adaptation procedure
whenever one of the following has occurred:
•Throttle Valve Control Module, ECM, or TCM is removed or replaced.
•Power supply to control module is interrupted.
•Low or disconnected battery.
•Codes are cleared.
What the Adaptation Process Does
The adaptation process involves the control module learning the different throttle valve positions
so that it knows the exact throttle position. It compares previous voltage readings with new voltage
reading inputs from two angle position sensors located inside the throttle actuator housing. If the
adaptation procedure is successful, these new positions are stored in the control module. Simply
put, throttle adaptation is the control module learning exact throttle positions against previous
preprogrammed values. If the two sets of readings exceed the range of tolerance, an error is
reported.
Typical conditions before throttle adaptation include the following:
•Key on engine off.
•No stored DTCs.
•Battery Voltage of at least 11.5 volts.
•All electrical consumers switched off (lights, heater fan, etc.).
•Throttle must be in closed position (foot off accelerator pedal).
•Engine coolant temperature between 41–212°F (5–100°C). Certain vehicles may require
above 176°F (80°C).
•Intake temperature less than 212°F (100°C).
Performing throttle body adaptation
Throttle body adaptation is performed using Basic Settings listed under the Functional Test menu
(“Basic Settings” on page 45) or in Expert Mode (“04-Basic Settings” on page 22). If selected in
68
Testing Testing Electronic Throttle Systems
Functional Tests, the automated menu will prompt you through the process. If using Expert Mode,
see the Readiness Code Chart Manual for the exact application procedure. If applicable, throttle
adaptation is always one of the first steps in the chart.
Readiness Codes always need to be reset after codes are cleared or the battery has been
disconnected. Throttle body adaptation relearn (part of Readiness Code procedure) is essential
and may prevent the engine from starting (it can also cause MIL to go on or cause driveability
problems). Clearing codes using a Generic OBD-II scan tool has the same effect.
NOTE:
iClearing codes may not change throttle body adaptation status to NOT READY (060 or 098), but
performing a throttle body adaptation after clearing codes is recommended to ensure no
problems. See the Volkswagen/Audi OBD-II Readiness Code Charts for more information.
An unsuccessful adaptation may be caused by any of the following:
•Throttle valve is unable to close because of dirt or carbon buildup.
•Battery voltage is too low.
•Throttle body actuator connector is loose or contacts are corroded or damaged.
•Throttle valve housing is distorted (check bolts for proper torque).
•Engine was started or throttle was depressed during the adaptation.
The scan tool performs the adaptation process by sending the correct command to the control
module using a special operation mode called Basic Settings (see “Basic Settings” on page 45).
After the scan tool sends the command to start the test, the control module sends the test
measurements and the final adaptation result back to the scan tool.
NOTE:
iThrottle body faults may also cause misfire faults.
If a throttle body faults occur, try to set adaptation again. If errors still occur, check and clean the
throttle body. Attempt to set the adaptation again. If errors are still present, check for wiring and
connection problems between the throttle body and the control module.
What should I do if I get pedal position faults?
If pedal position faults occur, first check the wiring by using scan tool in measuring block 62, which
will allow you to see both pedal sensors. Look for one pedal position sensor not responding.
Next, check the connectors at throttle body and the control module. Check the wiring for continuity.
Throttle body or pedal position faults may be caused by any of the following:
•If the MIL stays on after the engine starts, the throttle body may be failing self-test at startup.
•Cell phone antennas and cables can cause electromagnetic interference problems.
Electronic throttle systems are sensitive to a low or disconnected battery, especially if the ignition
was left on. With a low battery, adaptation settings may erase, which may cause poor idle or poor
throttle response (emergency run mode). On the 2000/2001 Type III throttle actuator, this may
cause a start and die condition. With this condition, the MIL may be on with a fault code set. The
fault code will not clear until throttle body adaptation is performed. Throttle body adaptation reset
procedure is done in Basic Settings Mode (04). See “Basic Settings” on page 45.
69
Testing Testing Electronic Throttle Systems
In an emergency, there is an alternative, less reliable method. Turn the ignition on for at least six
seconds without operating the starter or depressing the accelerator pedal. The control module
must register a Learning Requirement in order for this procedure to work because previously
stored voltage readings from the angle sensors do not correspond to the new voltage readings.
Electronic throttle valves are sealed units and are not serviceable. Internal component failure
means replacing a complete unit.
5.4.2 Electronic Throttle Types
Due to availability at the time of this writing, the information below references VW, but the
information regarding the three electronic throttle control systems is applicable to Audi (throttle
system type by years is the same for Audi). The types listed below were developed for VW only.
Type I
VW Electronic Throttle Valve Control started in 1996 with the M5.9 management system. This first
design replaced the separate Throttle Position Sensor and Idle Air Control Valve. This first
electronic throttle body module still has a throttle cable (not full Drive-by-Wire system). This early
style controls idle speed only by means of a movable throttle stop controlled by an electric servo
motor which is connected to the throttle plate. Within the sealed housing (no adjustment
capability) are the following 4 components:
•Throttle Position Sensor (G69)
•Closed Throttle Position (CTP) switch (F60)
•Throttle Position (TP) sensor (G88)
•Throttle Position (TP) actuator (V60)
The G69 sensor has a full range (reads actual throttle plate position) 0.5–5.0V reference signal
(called Throttle Position Sensor (V) on the scan tool). Voltage is high at idle, about 4.0–4.5V and
low, about 0.3–0.8V, at wide open throttle (WOT).
The G88 sensor reads the position of the idle or bottom throttle stop position of the actuator. On
this sensor (called Throttle Valve Adjuster (V) on the scan tool), voltage normally reads in the 3–4
V range. This type of sensor provides feedback on the throttle position actuator and the throttle
stop position. Input voltage is crosschecked against the input voltage from the G69 sensor for
plausibility. This G88 sensor, which has a reduced voltage range, changes minimally when the
throttle is moved and the engine is running. The actuator only controls idle speed and opens
during deceleration. Scan tool display group 060 or 098 (Throttle Valve Adjuster) at idle,
part-throttle, and WOT:
Idle:
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (V) ______________________________________ 4.380
THROTTLE VALVE ADJUSTER (IDLE)____________________________________ 3.680
THROTTLE ADJUSTER MODE ___________________________________________IDLE
ADAPTATION STATUS___________________________________________________ OK
70
Testing Testing Electronic Throttle Systems
Part-throttle:
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (V) _______________________________________ 3.90
THROTTLE VALVE ADJUSTER (IDLE) (V) __________________________________ 2.28
THROTTLE ADJUSTER MODE __________________________________________ PART
ADAPTATION STATUS___________________________________________________ OK
WOT:
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (V) ________________________________________ 0.8
THROTTLE VALVE ADJUSTER (IDLE) (V) __________________________________ 1.66
THROTTLE ADJUSTER MODE ________________________________________ENRICH
ADAPTATION STATUS___________________________________________________ OK
With the key on and the engine off, Throttle Valve Adjuster (Idle) (V) voltage does not change with
throttle movement. With the engine running and throttle movement, voltage change is minimal and
lags behind the actual Throttle Position Sensor. Also note that actual Throttle Position Sensor has
opposite voltage graph pattern to engine speed (high at idle and low at WOT).
Type II
The next type of electronic throttle system came out in 1998 with the VW M5.9.2 engine
management system. It is similar to Type 1 (still has a throttle cable) except that cruise control is
now integrated into the throttle valve control module. The important difference from Type I is that
the scan tool does not display throttle position voltages. Instead, the scan tool display reads
throttle angle (degrees) and percent. Also different from Type I, Throttle Valve Angle now
increases with engine speed (moves up and down in the same direction), while Thr Valve Adjuster
moves in the opposite direction to throttle or engine speed.
Some vehicles may also read Display group 054 (Idle control) which includes Thr Valve Adjuster
in degrees (THR ADJ (°) in a Codes & Data screen). Scan tool display group 060 (Throttle Valve
Adjuster):
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE (degrees) ________________________________________2
THR VALVE ADJUSTER (%) _____________________________________________ 75.2
OPERATING MODE ENGINE_____________________________________________IDLE
ADAPTATION STATUS___________________________________________________ OK
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE (degrees) _______________________________________36
THR VALVE ADJUSTER (%) _____________________________________________ 57.6
OPERATING MODE ENGINE____________________________________________ PART
ADAPTATION STATUS___________________________________________________ OK
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE (degrees) _______________________________________85
THR VALVE ADJUSTER (%) _____________________________________________ 39.2
OPERATING MODE ENGINE____________________________________________ FULL
ADAPTATION STATUS___________________________________________________ OK
Type III
The third type is the full Drive-by-Wire electronic throttle module that came out in 2000 (VW) on the
M7.0, M7.1, M7.5.1 engine management systems. This system is easily recognized by the
absence of a throttle cable. The accelerator pedal has two position sensors (variable resistors)
both installed in a single housing and connected to the accelerator pedal. The throttle valve is
actuated by a servo motor (throttle valve positioner) which is control module-controlled. There are
two throttle valve angle sensors which measure throttle valve position. Each one sends its own
71
Testing Testing Electronic Throttle Systems
signal to the control module. Dual sensors are used for backup plausibility on both the accelerator
position and throttle actuator position sensors in case one fails.
Emergency Running or Limp-Home Mode
There are two emergency running modes for accelerator pedal sensor failure; one for when one
accelerator pedal sensor fails, and one for when both accelerator pedal sensors fail.
When one accelerator pedal sensor fails:
•Accelerator position is limited to a predefined value.
•Brake pedal switch on indicates idling speed.
•If there are implausible signals between sensors, then the lower value is used.
•Comfort functions are disabled.
•Electronic Engine Power (EPC) light is illuminated.
When both accelerator pedal sensors fail:
•EPC light is illuminated.
•Engine runs only at idle speed.
There are three emergency running modes for throttle actuator module failure. One for when one
throttle valve angle sensor fails, one for when the throttle valve actuator fails or malfunctions, and
one for when throttle valve position is not recognized.
When one throttle valve angle sensor fails, engine power output is greatly reduced.
When the throttle valve actuator fails or malfunctions (both angle sensors are good) and when
throttle valve position is not recognized (implausible signals):
•Voltage to the actuator is shutoff.
•Throttle valve defaults to mechanical stop position.
•Engine speed is limited to 1200 RPM.
It is important to note that the control module can open and close the throttle valve independently
of the driver. For example, under certain conditions, such as during traction control or electronic
transmission shift optimization controlling engine torque, the driver’s foot may have little or no
affect on acceleration. This system is an integrated subsystem, complete with its own on-board
monitoring system and EPC indicator light.
EPC Indicator Light Operation
The EPC dash warning lamp is used for the Electronic Throttle Control System (Drive-by-Wire).
The control module checks the throttle control system and turns the EPC light off if all checks out
OK. It also turns the EPC light on if it detects a malfunction. Codes are stored and read at the
control module.
NOTE:
iField technicians note that in addition to Drive-by-Wire faults, the EPC light may also be turned on
for other engine non-emission related faults. If a fault is emission-related and EPC-related, then
both MIL and EPC lights may be on.
72
Testing Testing ABS Systems
NOTE:
iAt idle, neither the Throttle Valve Angle Sensor nor the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor are
monitored for faults. If the accelerator pedal module becomes disconnected, it may not set a code
nor turn the EPC light on (field reports indicate that in some cases a throttle body code may set).
In this condition, the engine only idles and does not respond to accelerator input.
Here is an example of a late model Drive-by-Wire data as read on the scan tool in display group
062 (EPCSYSTEM):
IDLE:
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE SNS 1 (%) _______________________________________11
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE SNS 2 (%) _______________________________________87
ACCEL.PEDAL POSITION SNS 1 (%)________________________________________14
ACCEL.PEDAL POSITION SNS 2 (%)_________________________________________7
WOT:
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE SNS 1 (%) _______________________________________87
THROTTLE VALVE ANGLE SNS 2 (%) _______________________________________11
ACCEL.PEDAL POSITION SNS 1 (%)________________________________________76
ACCEL.PEDAL POSITION SNS 2 (%)________________________________________38
Readings for Throttle Valve Angle Sns 1 & 2 are inverse to each other at idle and WOT. Also note
that Accel Pedal Position Sns 1 is double Accel Pedal Position Sns 2 (this is true for any pedal
position).

Important Tips for Audi ABS Testing
•In many of the newer models, there will be a series of beeps from the dash when you access
the ABS controller (and the ABS light will be on during diagnostics). This is normal and is done
to notify the driver that the ABS is nonfunctional while in diagnostic mode.
!WARNING
Risk of erratic vehicle response.
• Do not use the Output Tests function on any system while the car is in motion. Running
Output Tests on the ABS can temporarily disable brakes entirely and cause individual
wheels to lock and unlock.
Erratic vehicle response can cause serious injury.
5.5.1 ABS Basic Settings
Basic Setting must be selected from Expert Mode to perform the following for late model traction
and stability control:
•Zero position adjustment of steering angle sensor.
•Test the plausibility of sensor signals (yaw and press) for transverse acceleration.
•Any brake bleeding on systems equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESP) (ESP
hydraulic pump requires basic settings to bleed).
NOTE:
iABS/ESP Basic Setting brake bleeding usually requires login.
zTo login for ABS/ESP Basic Setting brake bleeding:
1. Select 03-ABS/EDL/ESP/TCS.
2. Select 11 Login.
3. Enter Login Code from Service Manual (varies with model and year).
4. Select channel 002.
5. Follow procedure from the Service Manual.
5.6 Testing Immobilizer Systems
NOTE:
iAll Immobilizer functions must be done in Expert Mode.
In the US, Volkswagen has three generations of antitheft systems.
The first system was used in the early 1990s. The 1996–99 Golf/Jetta may have a key fob with a
transmitter used for remote activation of the Pneumatic Central Locking System. This system has
no self-diagnostic capability and is nothing more than series of micro switches in the doors, hood
and trunk and a starter lockout. When armed, the alarm would sound if a door, hood or trunk was
opened and the starter circuit would be deactivated. The important aspect to remember here is
that this system does not have an ignition key immobilizer, it is an alarm system only.
76
Testing Testing Immobilizer Systems
The second system, Immobilizer II. It came out on some 1999 models, but was used only on the
2000/2001 Golf, Jetta and New Beetle. Immobilizer II uses an electronic key that prevents the
engine from starting without a matching key microchip. There is a symbol in the instrument cluster
showing a key inside a car. If a new (or different control module) is installed in the vehicle, the
Immobilizer prevents the engine from running and causes the symbol to flash. The scan tool
performs all of the adaptation functions on the Immobilizer II system including new key adaptation,
but only if the 4-digit security code is available for that specific vehicle. This security code may be
found under a scratch-off tag on the key fob or a scratch-off tab on the instrument cluster (which
has to be removed to inspect).
The third system, called Immobilizer III, came out on some VW models in approximately 1999.
Electric door locks replaced the pneumatic locks and Radio Remote Key fobs are replaced with
either a straight or switchblade-type key that has an embedded transmitter. Immobilizer III also
uses an electronic key. The Immobilizer prevents the engine from running without a matching key
microchip. There is a symbol in the instrument cluster showing a key inside a car. If a new (or
different control module) is installed in the vehicle, the Immobilizer prevents the car from running
and causes the symbol to flash. The Immobilizer III system has self-diagnostic capability for both
the remote and Locking Security System. The Immobilizer III system incorporates 4 systems:
•Central Door Lock System (35)
•Comfort System (46)
•Electronic Instrument Panel (17)
•Engine Control Module (01)
5.6.1 Important Tips for Testing Immobilizer III Systems
•Key matching is performed using an adaptation function in the Comfort System (46). With this
system, a 7-digit secret key code (SKC) is required in order to perform any adaptation routine
on most models. However, some early (1999) models use the 4-digit security code from the
Immobilizer II system.
•The 7 digit security code routine changes depending on whether you are using a brand new
control module that has never been in any other car, or if you are using a used control module
that has been previously matched to another car. See “Immobilizer II Engine Control Module
Replacement Adaptation” on page 77.
•The scan tool does not perform the Immobilizer III key adaptation function. The system
requires a special 7-digit secret key code (SKC) currently only obtained from the VW or Audi
dealer. In the future, the factory tool may be hooked directly to a VW site and eliminate the
need for the dealer to obtain the code. However, the scan tool does read the 14-digit
Immobilizer control module identification number which must be provided along with the VIN
to obtain the 7-digit security code. The scan tool also can perform ignition key matching to the
key remote control system (see “Radio Frequency Remote Control Functions” on page 81).
The information on Immobilizer III key adaptation is only to help you understand the process
given the extreme importance and need. Please understand that this information is subject to
change and is only current for the date at the time this manual was written.

5.6.2 Audi Immobilizers
In the US, some early Audi models (1995–1996 A6) use the Infrared Remote key system and
Pneumatic Central Locking that has no diagnostic capability. The 1997 A6, may have remote keys
or a key fob with a transmitter to activate the central locking system. The remote key fob does not
have diagnostic capability but the Central Locking does. Audi started using the Immobilizer III
system in 1998.

without starting the engine. After two minutes, start the vehicle.
Key Coding (Adaptation)
The following procedure outlines the key coding (adaptation) procedure for the Immobilizer II
(early Immobilizer III) systems that use a 4-digit security code. Currently, the scan tool cannot
perform key matching or adapting using the 7-digit security code obtained from the dealer. The
4-digit security code was available through 1999 (Immobilizer II) and may be found under a
scratch-off tag on the key fob, or on a scratch-off tab on the instrument cluster (which has to be
removed to inspect). All keys must be available at the start of the adaptation procedure.

7. Switch the ignition off.
Important Tips for Setting Immobilizer Adaptations
•All keys are “learned” in one matching sequence.
•15 seconds must not be exceeded when matching all ignition keys (pressing either the lock or
unlock button).
•A successful adaptation can be determined via Read Measured Value Block, function 08,
display group number 013. The operation of the radio frequency unit measurement values
must have the status OK. Simultaneously, the last measurement value will show the positional
number of the key (i.e. first, second, third, fourth).
•If the remote control key is operated several times, the third display “no measured value”
changes to “OK.”
•The matching of ignition keys is automatically terminated when:
–Number of keys to be matched is reached.
–A button of one of the keys to be “learned” is pressed frequently.
–Permissible matching period of 15 seconds is exceeded (DTC is stored).
•Select function 02-Check DTC Memory. If there is no DTC stored, the matching of the keys
has been successfully completed.

The contact plate has two straight edges. When these edges are turned toward the retainers,
the contact plate can be removed. The contact plate can also be unclipped with a screwdriver.
5. Unclip the lower battery from the retainers with a screwdriver.
6. Place the battery with the positive terminal downward into the transmitter (positive terminal is
marked on the housing).
Note the polarity and correct position when installing the batteries.
7. Place the contact plate on the battery.
8. Place the battery, with the positive terminal downward, onto the contact plate and secure.
9. Place the transmitter halves together and clip to fasten.
10. Engage the transmitter unit with the main key.
NOTE:
iWhen operating a radio wave remote control, the LED must flash briefly. If the LED does not flash,
the battery is discharged and must be replaced.

5.6.5 Immobilizer Frequently Asked Questions
Refer to the following frequently asked questions for additional information.
How do you tell if you have an Immobilizer?
With the key on and engine off, look for a yellow key dash light which should come on momentarily
and then off.
What does a flashing key dash light mean?
If it does not go out and starts flashing, then the Immobilizer has detected a problem and most
likely the engine will not start.
What are the possible causes for the Immobilizer light to flash?
•Wrong ignition key was inserted into the ignition switch
•Faulty key transponder
•Faulty control module
•Faulty Instrument Cluster
What should always be done after working on the Immobilizer system?
•Check and clear any engine faults.
•Check and clear any Immobilizer (25) faults.
•Check and clear any CAN bus (19) faults.
•Check and clear any Instrument Cluster (17) faults.
How do you tell if you have Immobilizer II or III?
Immobilizer III knows the VIN, which is imbedded in the CAN bus control unit.
zTo distinguish between Immobilizer II or III:
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle and select Expert Mode (see “Initiating Expert Mode” on
page 19 for more information).
2. Select 17-Electronic Instrument Panel or 25-Immobilizer (Separated).
3. Select until the ECU ID screen displays.
If you see something like “Immo-ID VWZ7Z0W0648696”, you have Immobilizer II.
If you see something like “WVZKB58001H231169 VWZ7Z0W0648696”, you have
Immobilizer III. The first 17-digit string is the VIN. The second 14-digit string is the Immobilizer
identification number.
What does the scan tool do on Immobilizer II?
It can perform all Immobilizer functions if the 4-digit, vehicle-specific security code is known.
83
Testing Testing Electronic Instrument Panel Systems
Does the scan tool work on Immobilizer III?
Yes. The scan tool can do key matching to the remote system and remote key adaptation.
However, the scan tool cannot adapt new keys or adapt either an control module or Instrument
Cluster to the Immobilizer III system.
Is the key matching to the remote system the same procedure for
Immobilizer II or III?
Yes, although there may be different remote key option configurations depending on the vehicle.

Testing Testing Airbag (SRS) Systems
After the service the following function must be used:
•Reset Service Interval
Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for the actual values of the Service Interval settings.
5.8 Testing Airbag (SRS) Systems
There are currently three types of airbag (SRS) systems on VW/Audi vehicles.
Airbag I came out in 1989 and was used until about 1993 for both VW and Audi. This system had
only one driver’s side airbag and limited diagnostics—codes only (no data). California emission
equipped vehicles may have red, white and black connectors. The red connector is for the Airbag I
system. If the vehicle is Federal emission equipped, then it may only have a red and black
connector. The airbag module on this system is pre-coded at the factory (no version coding).
NOTE:
iTo read Airbag I codes without code definitions by hooking the white connector of the VW-1
adapter to the red vehicle connector and the black VW-1 connector to the black vehicle connector.
Airbag II was used from 1994 to 1995 for Audi models and from 1996 to 1998 for VW models. This
SRS system displays codes and data and the module is version coded. This system uses
pyrotechnics for seatbelt retraction and has dual airbags, one for the driver (steering wheel) and
one for the passenger (front dash).
Airbag III is used from 1996 to 2003 for Audi models and from 1998 to 2003 for VW models. This
system displays codes and data and the module is version coded. This system also uses
pyrotechnics for seatbelt retraction and has dual airbags for the driver (steering wheel) and
passenger (front dash).
Note the following when working on SRS systems:
•1993–94 VW vehicles may have no airbag systems.
•For Airbag I, Audi has recalled KF for a static electricity deployment problem. The recall
converts the system to an Airbag II module with codes and data but still has only the one
driver’s side airbag. To see if recall has been done, lift up the rear seat and look for two
separate modules bolted to the body sheet metal. If both modules have been removed and the
harnesses are taped, then the recall has been performed. If these two modules are present,
then recall has not been performed and should be done.
•Airbag II and III systems are version coded. Be sure to use the latest version coding tables
and that the battery is fully charged before coding the airbag modules. Coding is performed
with the key on, engine off. Battery voltage should not drop below 11.6V. High quality battery
chargers with noise and voltage spiking suppression are recommended.
IMPORTANT:
Coding and module corruption may occur if the battery goes dead during the coding process.
•SRS components made for European vehicles are not the same as for the US. Certain
aftermarket sport steering wheels with SRS may be available for sale that do not meet U.S.
SRS deployment specifications. Always identify the correct airbag system and verify the
correct component configuration prior to version coding.

Testing Testing CAN Data Bus Systems
5.9 Testing CAN Data Bus Systems
Late 2001 and early 2002 models started using a CAN (Controller Area Network) data bus, which
affects diagnostics and how and when the scan tool is used. The CAN data bus ensures that the
electronics in the vehicle still remain manageable and do not take up too much space. CAN means
that control units are networked and interchange data.
1— ABS control module
2— Door control modules
3— Central control module
4— Transmission control module
5— electronic control module
Figure 5-1 CAN control unit network
The CAN data bus is made up of a controller, a transceiver, two data bus terminals, and two data
bus lines. Apart from the data bus lines, the components are located in the control units.

Testing Testing CAN Data Bus Systems
The CAN controller receives the transfer data from the microcomputer integrated in the control
unit. The CAN controller processes this data and relays it to the CAN transceiver. Likewise, the
CAN controller receives data from the CAN transceiver, processes it and relays it to the
microcomputer integrated in the control unit.
The data bus does not have a designated receiver. Data is sent over the data bus and is generally
received and evaluated by all subscribers (modules on the data bus).
5.9.1 Sources of Interference
Components which produce sparks or in which electric circuits are open or closed during
operation can be sources of interference. Other sources of interference include mobile telephones
and transmitter stations, or any other object which produces electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves can affect or corrupt data transfer.
To prevent interference with the data transfer, the two data bus lines are twisted together so that
the voltage on both lines is opposed. That means that if a voltage of approximately 0 Volts is
applied to the one data bus line, then a voltage of approximately 5 Volts is applied to the other line
and vice versa. As a result, the total voltage remains constant at all times and the electromagnetic
field effects of the two data bus lines cancel each other out. The data bus line is protected against
received interference and is virtually neutral in sending interference.
5.9.2 Powertrain CAN Bus
The CAN data bus links the following:
•The Motronic Engine management control unit
•The ABS/EDL control unit
•The automatic gearbox control unit
The data bus operates at a speed of 500 kbit/s (500,000 bits per second). This means that it lies
in a speed range (high speed) from 125 to 1000 kbit/s. A data protocol transfer takes about 0.25
milliseconds. Each control unit tries to send its data at intervals of 7–20 milliseconds.
If more than one control unit wants to send its data protocol simultaneously, the system must
decide which control unit comes first. For safety reasons, the data protocol supplied by the ABS/
EDL control unit is more important than the data protocol supplied by the engine control unit or
automatic gearbox unit, so ABS/EDL data takes priority and is sent first. Table 5-16 demonstrates
the order of priority of data on the CAN bus line.
Table 5-16 Order of CAN bus information priorities in the drive train
Priority Control Unit Example
1 ABS/EDL Request for Traction Control System (TCS)
2 ECU, data protocol 1 Engine speed; throttle valve position; kickdown
3 ECU, data protocol 2 Coolant temperature; road speed
4 TCM Gearshift; gearbox in emergency mode; selector lever position
91
Testing Testing CAN Data Bus Systems
NOTE:
iAll control units which interchange information must be regarded as an integrated system during
self-diagnosis and troubleshooting. This means data displayed at one control unit may actually be
shared from another control unit on the CAN Bus. Codes set in one control unit will often set codes
in other control units which share the data bus. Always clear codes in each control unit and
monitor in which control unit the codes return.
5.9.3 CAN Data Bus in the Convenience System
The following functions of the convenience system transfer data:
•Central locking
•Electric windows
•Switch illumination
•Electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors
•Self-diagnosis
In the convenience system, the CAN data bus currently connects the control units of the
convenience system. These are a central electronic unit (09) and two or four door Central door
Lock (35) control units.
The lines of the control units converge at one point in a star pattern. The advantage: if one of the
control units fails, the other control units are still able to send their data protocols. Each control unit
tries to send its data at intervals of 20 milliseconds.
The following list describes how the information in the convenience system is prioritized:
1. Central control unit
2. Control unit on driver’s side
3. Control unit on front passenger’s side
4. Control unit on rear left
5. Control unit on rear right
Since the data in the comfort system can be transferred at a relatively low speed, it is possible to
use a transceiver with a lower power output. The advantage is that it is possible to change over to
single-wire mode if a data bus line fails. The data can still be transferred.
92
Chapter 6 Data Parameters
The following chapters provide definitions and operating ranges for the Volkswagen and Audi
vehicle data stream parameters.
The ECM provides two basic kinds of parameters: digital (or discrete) and analog:
•Digital (discrete) parameters are those that can be in only one of two states, such as on or
off, open or closed, high or low, rich or lean, and yes or no. Switches, relays, and solenoids are
examples of devices that provide discrete parameters on the control module data list.
•Analog parameters are displayed as a measured value in the appropriate units. Voltage,
pressure, temperature, time, and speed parameters are examples of analog values. The scan
tool displays them as numbers that vary through a range of values in units, such as pounds
per square inch (psi), kilopascal (kPa), degrees Celsius (°C), degrees Fahrenheit (°F),
kilometers per hour (KPH), or miles per hour (MPH).
The scan tool displays some data parameters in numbers that range from 0 to 100, 0 to 255, or 0
to 1800. These ranges are used because it is the range that the control module transmits for a
given parameter. However, many parameter readings never reach the highest possible number.
The maximum range of a parameter often varies by year, model, and engine. On these
applications, the word “variable” appears in the range heading. However, typical sampled values
observed under actual test conditions are in the parameter description when available.
Parameters may also be identified as input signals or output commands.
•Input or feedback parameters are signals from various sensors and switches to the control
module. They may display as analog or discrete values, depending upon the input device.
•Output parameters are commands that the control module transmits to various actuators,
such as solenoids and fuel injectors. They are displayed as discrete (ON/OFF) parameters,
analog values or as a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal.
In the following section, parameters are presented as they appear on the scan tool screen. Most
parameter descriptions are in alphabetical order, but there are exceptions. Often, the same
parameter goes by a similar, but different, name when used on more than one model, engine, or
control system. In these instances, all of the applicable parameter names, as displayed on the
scan tool, are listed in alphabetical order before the description.
To find the description of a parameter, locate it in the alphabetical index, then go to the indicated
page. Parameters are listed in the index as they appear on the scan tool screen.
The data parameter descriptions in this manual were created from a combination of sources. For
most parameters, some basic information was provided by the vehicle manufacturers, then
expanded through research and field testing. Parameter definitions and ranges may expand as
more test results become available. For some parameters, no information is currently available.
The scan tool may display names for some data parameters that differ from names displayed by
a factory tool and other scan tools.
Always use a meter or lab scope, to further validate the displayed values. If data is corrupted on
multiple parameters, do not assume that the control module may be faulty. This corrupt data may
be caused by improper communication between the scan tool and the control module controller.

Indicates whether the A/C system is set in the HIGH or LOW mode.
A/C READINESS _______________________________________________ (range: YES/NO)
Indicates if the A/C is ready to be used. If A/C is fitted and no defects are found in the system, the
reading will be YES. If the vehicle does not have A/C fitted or a fault in the system or wiring is
found, the reading will be NO.
A/C SWITCH ___________________________________________________ (range: ON/OFF)
Informs the ECM whether the A/C switch is set at ON/OFF or HIGH/LOW.
ACCELERATION ENRICHMENT ___________________________________ (range: YES/NO)
Indicates whether the ECM provides a richer mixture during acceleration by momentarily
increasing injector pulse width. It should read YES when the ECM is enriching the mixture during
acceleration. Injector pulse width should also increase at the same time. It should read NO under
all other conditions.
ACCEL.PEDAL POSITION SNS 1(%)
ACCEL.PEDAL POSITION SNS 2(%) ___________________________ (range: not available)

Indicates whether the ECM is updating the throttle position sensors idle and full open positions. It
reads YES during adaptation, NO at all other times.
106
Data Parameters Gas Engine Parameters
ADAPTATION STATUS_______________________________ (range: RUNNING/OK/ERROR)
Indicates whether the ECM is learning a position for the throttle valve, for example: under normal
conditions the reading should be OK.
RUNNING will be displayed for a short time as the ECM learns the new values while in Basic
Setting mode. If ERROR is displayed, then a fault in the learning processes has occurred.
ADP ENG SPEED SENSOR(CROWN GEAR)__________________ (range: I/O or RUNNING)
Indicates the operation of the crankshaft sensor and the segmented gear fitted to the crankshaft
and adapts the ECM for ignition misfires. The crown gear is the segmented disk fitted on the
crankshaft and the engine speed sensor (Hall-effect sensor) takes its signal from the teeth on this
gear. If the display reads RUNNING, then the sender/gear check has not yet been completed and
the misfire detection is restricted until the adaptation is completed. The sender/gear check can
only be performed during overrun conditions.
ADP IDLING STABILIZATION(kg/h) ____________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the learning value of the idle control system. The reading is the volume of air the ECM is
commanding in kilograms per hour.
ADP STOPPED(TIME EXCEEDED)_________________________________ (range: YES/NO)
Indicates whether the adaptation process was stopped because the maximum time allowed was
exceeded. The normal reading is NO, Yes indicates an adaptation problem.
ADP THROTTLE VALVE ADJUSTER ___________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the current throttle adjuster adaptation mode and can display ADP, (running) ADP OK,
or ADP ERROR.
ADP VALUE AIR MASS IDLE(%)_______________________________(range: not available)
Indicates the amount of extra air mass required to keep the engine idle speed correct when a
change in load occurs, such as when the A/C or the rear heater is switched on.
ADP VALUE CANP SYSTEM__________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the learning value of the canister purge system. It displays the duty cycle the ECM is
commanding.
ADP VALUE CANP VALVE
ADP VALUE CANP VALVE 1(%) _______________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the learning value of the canister purge system. It displays the duty cycle the ECM has
learned.
ADP VALUE ISC____________________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the learning value of the idle control system. It displays the duty cycle the ECM is
commanding.
ADP VALUE MIXTURE(BANK1)(%)
ADP VALUE MIXTURE(BANK2)(%) ____________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the operation and Short-term correction of the fuel delivery for cylinders 1 to 3 (Bank 1)
and cylinders 4 to 6 (Bank 2). It shows whether the ECM is commanding a rich or lean mixture.
A number above 0% indicates that the ECM has commanded a temporary rich mixture correction.
A number below 0% indicates that the ECM has commanded a temporary lean mixture correction.
These Short-term correction numbers are also used by the ECM to learn a fuel correction pattern
or trend and are stored in the learned mixture or lambda values. Fuel correction parameters
operate only in closed loop. In open loop, the number changes to a fixed value.
107
Data Parameters Gas Engine Parameters
ADP VALUE MIXTURE(BANK1)
ADP VALUE MIXTURE(BANK2) __________________________________ (range: 0.0 to 1.9)
Indicates the operation and Short-term correction of the fuel delivery for cylinders 1 to 4 (Bank 1)
and for cylinders 5 to 8 (Bank 2). It shows whether the ECM is commanding a rich or lean mixture.
The number theoretically can range from 0.0 to 1.9 with 1.0 as the midpoint. A number above 1.0
indicates that the ECM has commanded a temporary rich mixture correction. A number below 1.0
indicates that the ECM has commanded a temporary lean mixture correction. Fuel correction
parameters operate only in closed loop. In open loop, the number changes to a fixed value.
AIR DIVERT VALVE _____________________________________________ (range: ON/OFF)
Indicates the state of the dual path intake manifold used on the 2.8 5V V6. There are two sets of
intake runners of different lengths. At lower engine speeds the length of the intake manifold is
lengthened with smaller diameter runners to produce a ram effect (increased air velocity). At
higher RPM, the intake manifold is shortened with larger diameter runners to reduce restriction to
faster moving air. Should read ON (ECM command) at 4500 RPM.
An actuator or rotary servo changes intake manifold position from low to high or high to low. At
4500 RPM after the Intake Manifold change over valve receives a signal from the ECM, it supplies
vacuum to the servo which in turn moves the rotary valve to engage the high speed intake runners.
When engine RPM drops, the change over valve shuts off vacuum to the servo (low speed intake
runners) and vents trapped vacuum.
AIR MASS IDLE(g/s) ________________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the amount of alteration required to maintain idle speed when there is a change in load
conditions at idle, such as when the heated rear window is switched on. Once the ECM has
learned the new value, the figure should return to the mean setting (0).
ALTERNATOR DEFECT__________________________________________ (range: YES/NO)
Indicates whether the ECM has recognized a charging voltage. The reading is YES when the ECM
is allowing adaptation (adaptive learn). If the reading is NO, the ECM will not relearn any
adaptation values.
ALTERNATOR LOAD(%) _____________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the current alternator load.
ALTITUDE CORRECTION FACTOR
ALTITUDE CORRECTION FACTOR(%)__________________________(range: not available)
Indicates the correction factor for altitude, which is applied to air intake and lambda values when
driving in mountainous terrain. This is an ECM-calculated value that compares air mass and
throttle angle, and is greatly influenced by intake air temperature.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE(°C/°F)______________________________(range: not available)
Indicates the temperature of the ambient air outside the vehicle.
AUX HEATING REQUESTED__________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates if Auxiliary Heat is requested or not.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE(mbar) _____________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates barometric pressure, which is provided by the barometric pressure (BARO) sensor, in
millibars. The reading should be high when barometric pressure is near atmospheric pressure at
sea level, and drop as barometric pressure drops.
108
Data Parameters Gas Engine Parameters
The ECM uses the BARO sensor to calculate manifold vacuum and true absolute pressure. Some
systems do not have a BARO sensor, but the ECM provides a BARO reading by sampling the
MAP sensor reading with the key on and engine off just before cranking.
BASE THR POS(IDLE SW CLSD)(°) ____________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates throttle opening in degrees based on the Throttle Position Sensor low range
potentiometer. This is one of two potentiometers incorporated into one (throttle position) TP
sensor. The signal is for the whole range (from idle to full throttle).
BASE VALUE THROTTLE ADJUSTER__________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the stored base value for the throttle value potentiometer position when throttle valve is
fully closed. The value is determined when base settings are activated with the throttle closed.
BASE VALUE TPS
BASE VALUE TPS(V)________________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates the voltage from throttle position (TP) sensor low range potentiometer. This is one from
a set of two potentiometers incorporated into one TP sensor. The signal is for the whole range
(from idle to full throttle).
BATTERY(V) _______________________________________________(range: not available)
Indicates vehicle battery voltage. The engine control system has no specific sensor to measure

O2 SENSOR(BANK 2)(V)_____________________________________ (range: not available)
Indicates oxygen sensor (O2S) voltage. The O2S is the primary sensor that indicates whether the
engine is running rich or lean. An O2S can have a range of 0.0 to 1.0V or 0.0 to 5.0V.
O2 SENSOR 1 and O2 SENSOR 2 refer to cylinder Bank 1 or cylinder Bank 2 respectively.
The most common O2Ss generate a voltage signal that ranges from 0.0 to 1.0V. A high signal
(0.48 to 1.00V) indicates a rich mixture; a low signal (0.0 to 0.48) indicates a lean mixture. In
normal operation, the O2S voltage ranges from 0.1 to 1.0V. The O2S must be hot, and the ECM
must be in closed loop before the ECM will respond to the sensor signal.
Some models, such as the VW 2001 2.0L with the AEG engine and the new 2002 Passat W8
(BDP), use a 0–5V O2S. Rich is high voltage; lean is low voltage. Other models may use a Linear
Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor (A/F sensor) which measures the exact air/fuel mixture, the signal does not
constantly switch between low and high. The voltage displayed (display group 33 in Table 6-2
below) for these is an ECM computed value where 1.5V = 1 lambda or the ideal fuel mixture ratio
of 14.7:1. Higher voltage indicates correction for rich mixture and lower voltage indicates a
correction for a lean mixture. Under normal load, the voltage should vary around 1.5V, which
means the mixture is right at stoichiometric or Lambda = 1. During deceleration from 3000 RPM,

control unit can accurately calculate reduction in engine torque during the gearshift by retarding
the ignition angle to control the clutch and brake application during a shift.
A/T OUTPUT(RPM)____________________________________ (range: 0 to maximum RPM)
Indicates transmission output shaft speed (OSS) based on the OSS sensor. The OSS sensor is on
inductive pickup.
A/T SWITCH ______________________________________________ (range: P/N /NOT P/N)
Indicates the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch status, which indicates whether an automatic
transmission is in park or neutral, or in one of the drive ranges.
ATF TEMPERATURE(°C) _________________________________________ (range: variable)
Indicates the temperature of the transmission fluid based on the transmission fluid temperature
(TFT) sensor. It is monitored to prevent the transmission from overheating. It is located on the
valve body within the solenoid wiring harness.
BATTERY VOLTAGE _____________________________________ (range: 9.0 to 16.0 volts)
Indicates battery voltage on terminal 15 of the TCM on a 01V transmission. The TCM monitors
battery voltage to make sure it can operate safely. The safe parameter is 10.8 to 16.0 volts.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH________________________ (range: OPERATED/NOT OPERATED)
Indicates the state of brake switch. It reads OPERATED when the switch is on; and NOT
OPERATED when the switch is off.
ENGINE TORQUE(Nm) __________________________________________ (range: variable)
Indicates the ECM calculated engine torque, which is based on the injection time and passed on
to the TCM.
In the event of a faulty signal gear, selection is always implemented at maximum modulation
pressure, emergency operation 1. Gear shifting is affected with a throttle-valve opening angle of
30%. There is no kickdown.

Data Parameters Transmission Parameters
ENGINE TORQUE MAX __________________________________________ (range: variable)
Indicates the maximum engine torque that the TCM will allow on a 01V transmission. The TCM
reduces engine torque required during shifts.
GEAR POSITION _______________________________________________ (range: variable)
Indicates which gear the transmission is in.
HILL FACTOR(%) _____________________________________________ (range: 0 to 100%)
Indicates the TCM calculation of driving conditions on 01M and 01N transmissions. When driving
on level road (less than ±3½ degrees), the TCM will function in economy mode. When there is
road resistance, such as wind load, towing, increased vehicle load or uphill driving (more than 3½
degrees), shift points change to provide more engine RPM and power. When road resistance
decreases, such as going downhill, the TCM automatically selects a suitable lower gear. Engine
braking is provided with the selector lever in “D” and reduces the need for braking when driving
downhill. When road resistance returns to normal, shifting characteristic also return to normal.
KICKDOWN SWITCH ____________________________________________ (range: ON/OFF)
Indicates the state of the kickdown switch. The kickdown switch is integrated into the Bowden
accelerator cable. It is used to detect situations where the accelerator pedal is depressed beyond
the full-throttle point. With the kickdown switch actuated, the A/C compressor is disengaged to
provide more power on acceleration.
NOTE:
iOn vehicles with a TDI engine, the TCM receives the kickdown signal from the acceleration pedal
position (APP) sensor.
KICKDOWN SWITCH ____________________________________________ (range: ON/OFF)
Indicates the state of the kickdown switch on 01M, 01F, and 01K transmissions. The kickdown
switch is integrated into the Bowden accelerator cable. It is used to detect situations where the
accelerator pedal is depressed beyond the full-throttle point.
NOTE:
iOn vehicles with a TDI engine, the TCM receives the kickdown signal from the APP sensor that is
located in the bracket for the bell crank. It is an EDC sensor that supplies the kickdown signal on
vehicles with TDI engines.
LOCK-UP SLIP ________________________________________________ (range: 0 to 99%)
Indicates the amount of torque converter clutch regulated slip. It normally reads 0–30% slip when
lockup occurs.

Indicates condition of the torque converter lockup clutch on a 01V transmission. With the TCC
solenoid in the open state, lockup slip, or torque converter slip speed should be between 0 RPM
and stall speed. With the TCC solenoid in the control state, lockup slip speed should be 20 to 120
RPM (last gear shift at least 20 seconds ago). With the TCC solenoid in the closed state, lockup
speed should be 0 to 10 RPM. Engine torque is mechanically transmitted to the transmission
during torque converter lockup.
LOCK-UP SLIP ________________________________________________ (range: 0 to stall)
Indicates torque converter lockup slip on a 01P transmission. When in the hydraulic gears, the
torque converter lockup must be open with 0 to stall RPM slip. With engine speed 2000–3000

Data Parameters Transmission Parameters
TIPTRONIC
Indicates the selected gear range of a Tiptronic transmission. Tiptronic transmissions have an
additional selector gate on the right of the transmission shifter selector gate or steering wheel
paddles. Tiptronic makes it possible to manually shift up a gear by moving the selector lever or
steering wheel paddles to plus (+) or manually shift down a gear by moving the selector lever or
steering wheel paddles to negative (-). This mode is for drivers who prefer manual gear shifting.
The transmission will upshift automatically to prevent inadvertent over-revving of the engine. Also,
the driver cannot downshift to a lower gear if the engine RPM would exceed red-line by
downshifting. In addition, the transmission will downshift to first automatically when the vehicle
comes to a stop, even if the driver does not remember to downshift. This transmission is designed
to handle high torque output.
The left-hand gate is for electronically controlled automatic shifting with adaptive control. This is a
function of various sensors and is transparent to the driver. Shift points are automatically regulated
to provide three distinct operating characteristics:
•Comfort driving for maximum fuel economy (shift points are kept low).
•Average driving (shift points are raised slightly).
•High-performance driving (shift points are increased to allow the engine to rev higher between
gearshifts).
TIPTRONIC SWITCH ___________________________ (range: N/A (+) upshift (–) downshift)
Indicates the upshift (+) or downshift (–) position of the tiptronic shifter.
TORQUE(Nm)__________________________________________________ (range: variable)

Indicates if there is a torque reduction or not.
VEHICLE SPEED ____________________________________ (range: 0 to maximum speed)
Indicates vehicle speed on 01F and 01K transmissions based on the vehicle speed sensor
mounted in the transmission housing. This information is used for the decision as to which gear
should be engaged, cruise control system and torque converter slip control.
NOTE:
iIf the signal fails, the control unit uses the engine speed as a substitute signal and lockup clutch is
no longer closed.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR(V)_________________________________ (range: 2.20 to 2.52V)
Indicates vehicle speed senor voltage on 097, 01N and 098 transmissions. With the vehicle

transmissions. The ABS unit recognizes the wheel speeds from the signals provided by the speed
sensors. These signals are passed from ABS control unit to the control unit for the automatic
transmission. The TCM averages the 4 signals and detects output speed.
NOTE:
iShould one wheel-speed signal fail, the transmission output speed is determined from the three
remaining signals. The TCM switches to emergency operation 2 if more than one speed sensor
signal fails.

Appendix B Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information for troubleshooting specific problems that may arise when using
the scan tool.
B.1 Communication Problems
When the scan tool is unable to establish communication with the control module in the vehicle
under test, or when the communication is interrupted, a message will display. If this happens, wait
to see whether the communication is established again or interrupted. If communication is
interrupted again, press N to abort.
NOTE:
iSwitching the ignition off-and-on and reentering the ID may reset communication.
Note the following regarding communication problems with VW/Audi vehicles:
•When testing a VW/Audi with certain ECMs, communication problems may occur when the
engine speed is above 2000 RPM. In this case, communication cannot be established. Once
communication has been established, the engine may be revved above 2000 RPM.
•If testing ABS/EDS/ESP/TCS systems, problems may occur if the vehicle speed exceeds
12 MPH (19 KPH). Communication will be stopped or cannot be established.
B.2 The Aftermarket Radio Problem
Between 1997 and 1998, VW and Audi started using radios with self-diagnostic capabilities in
most models. The scan tool can communicate with the radio, which allows you to set various
options, like whether a CD player is connected, an amplified or conventional antenna, or other
installed options.
B.2.1 The Problem
VW brought the “K-Line”, the wire on which all of the vehicle control modules communicate with
the scan tool, to a pin in the connector on which older radios used to return B+ back into the
harness. So if you were to take the non-diagnostics capable radio out of a 1997 GTI and put it in
a 1998 where there should be a diagnostics-capable one, it fits perfectly, but the K-Line ends up
shorted to power.
Many aftermarket radios have adapter harnesses that plug into the vehicle radio connector.
Unfortunately, some of the aftermarket harnesses faithfully reproduce the older, non-diagnostics
radios with a loop of wire between B+ and the pin where the K-Line is on newer models. The radio
will work fine until you connect a scan tool.
155
The Aftermarket Radio Problem
The vehicle is not affected if the K-Line is shorted to B+. The K-Line is not used for intra-vehicle
communications, however, the scan tool initializes a communications session by pulling the
K-Line to ground. The K-Line normally has some voltage on it, but through a high-impedance
source. If the K-Line has “full” B+ on it, it can damage the scan tool output driver for the K-Line.
B.2.2 Testing for this Problem
You can test for this problem yourself without removing the radio.

2— Signal ground
3— K-Line
4— L-Line
5— B+
Figure B-1 16-pin OBD-II data link connector (DLC)
zTo test this problem with a voltmeter, such as the Snap-on® Vantage® graphing meter:
1. Measure the voltage between pins 4 and 7 of the DLC with the ignition and radio on.
If the reading is below 9V, your K-Line is fine. If the reading is above 9V, the results are
inconclusive and you need to proceed to the next step.
2. Put a 1K-ohm resistor between pins 4 and 7 of the DLC.
3. Use the voltmeter to measure the voltage between 4 and 7 (in parallel with the resistor).
If it is under 1V, you don't have the problem. If it remains near 12V (the resistor will get hot!)
you do have this problem and you will need to fix it (see the procedure for fixing this problem
on page 156).
zTo test this problem without a voltmeter:
1. Temporarily place a 1K-ohm resistor between pins 4 and 7 of the DLC and ensure it is making
contact with both pins (Figure B-1).
If the resistor gets hot, your K-Line is shorted to B+. If it does not get hot, you do not have a
problem. Do NOT install this resistor in the port. You are simply using it to check and see if the
K-Line has 12V.
2. If the resistor gets hot, then pull it out and fix the problem by disconnecting the K-Line from the
stereo wiring harness.

The Aftermarket Radio Problem
zTo repair the problem:
1. Remove the radio.
2. Make sure that the K-Line in the radio wiring harness (black 8-pin multi-connector III-T8) has
been removed from the connector and taped back to the harness (Figure B-2).

NOTE:
iSome 2002 and newer Volkswagens come with the double-DIN “Premium VI” radio. This radio
does not have a K-Line connection, but rather has a CAN-high and CAN-low. Although the
connector is completely different and it should not be possible to have the “Aftermarket Radio
Problem” with these newer cars, if you use an aftermarket radio, it would be best to make sure that
nothing is connected to these pins in the radio harness. The back of the Premium VI radio is

Appendix C Fuel Control Learning
Adaptation Values
VW/Audi uses a type of fuel control called “adaptive learning.” This is defined as the ability of the
engine management system to continuously modify the fuel mixture to account for changing
operating conditions.
OBD-II terms for fuel control are “short-term” and “long-term” fuel trim (FT).
•Short term means the correction responds directly to the oxygen sensor (O2S) input.
•Long term FT is designed to maintain short term FT in a balanced state, equal range of
control on either side of rich or lean.
The following sections explain OBD-II short and long term FT terminology applied to VW/Audi fuel
control terminology. VW/Audi use Bosch Motronic engine management systems. For VW,
Adaptive Learning started with the Motronic 2.9 engine management system in 1993. Each new
system increased the adaptation sophistication (M2.9, M5.0, M5.9.2, M7.0, M7.1, M7.5.1). For
these systems, two central fuel control terms require explanation:
•Additive for idle adaptation.
•Multiplicative for part throttle or cruise adaptation.
C.1 Long-Term Fuel Control
Both Additive and Multiplicative adaptation are a form of long term fuel control. Each is a coarse
type of FT control, allowing short term FT to maintain a midpoint balance between rich and lean.
C.1.1 Additive Adaptation
Additive means adding or subtracting equal amounts of fuel to every fuel block cell regardless of
the programmed base injection pulse value. It works very effectively for idle mixture related
problems, but its effect is minimal at the higher engine speeds. For example, vacuum leaks greatly
affect fuel mixture at idle but become less severe at higher RPM. The important distinction is that
the amount of fuel correction is not dependent upon the original base in each fuel memory cell.
Additive adaptation indicates a fine-tuning, long-term correction or adaptation that the ECM is
applying to the fuel injection pulse width. Although these minute adjustments affect the entire
engine speed range, they are most noticeable at idle or during lower pulse-width operating
conditions. A positive value indicates increased fuel injection duration, and a negative value
indicates a decreased fuel injection duration.
When the short term correction value, reaches its upper or lower limit, the ECM resets short term
correction and moves the long term FT value up or down by one count. The short term FT moves
quickly, while the long term FT moves slowly. The short and long term FT continue to work
together until the fuel mixture problem is corrected, or until the long term FT reaches its upper or
lower limit. When the long term FT reaches its limit, the ECM sets a DTC, and usually defaults into
open loop operation. The factory term “Additive Mixture Adaptation” refers to the fact that the ECM
158
Fuel Control Learning Adaptation Values Long-Term Fuel Control
is adding directly to the injector opening time for all memory cells. However, data is only updated
under certain idle conditions. Be aware that Idle and Part Load Multiplicative work together to
establish the long term FT.
C.1.2 Multiplicative Adaptation
Multiplicative means multiplying or taking the preprogrammed cell base value and multiplying that
number by either a correction factor or percent. Here, the correction amount increased or
decreased in each memory block cell is dependent on each cell’s base injection pulse. This form
of adaptation is required to compensate for fuel control-type problems that get worse with
increased engine speed (i.e., a faulty injector). Short term FT in VW/Audi language is usually
called O2 regulation or O2 control. The readings are constantly changing, directly responding to
oxygen sensor (O2S) input. Normal readings are usually in the ±10% range with 0 as the midpoint.
If it gets too far off, Long-term additive or multiplicative adjusts the window back to the midpoint
(balanced state).
Multiplicative adaptation correction indicates the long-term FT correction that the ECM is applying
to the air/fuel mixture during closed loop operation over the middle to upper range of engine
operation. VW/Audi use the term “Multiplicative Mixture Adaptation” because it is a percent
correction factor based on the individual base injection value for each memory cell. Cells are
constantly updated based on feedback operation. If any cell stores an update that is beyond the
neutral feedback value, a correction is then factored into the injector pulse-width calculation. To
maintain the optimal air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 for catalytic converter (CAT) efficiency, the ECM
monitors the O2Ss and calculated load. From this information, the ECM calculates a percent value
that indicates how much to enrich or dilute the fuel mixture. Sometimes, the ECM makes fine
tuning adjustments across the complete fuel map by adjusting the IDLE (Additive) FUEL TRIM (for
example, when a fine adjustment is needed across the range to compensate for fuel injector drift).

C.1.4 Important Tips for Long Term Fuel Control
•The value typically ranges from -10 to +10. A normal operating engine should fluctuate only
slightly. If more than ±7%, perform a mixture diagnosis. Technicians report MAF sensor
problems with readings of ±5%.
•Use Basic Settings for faster adaptation relearn. Take short road test (usually 2–3 miles) with
the scan tool hooked up in Basic Settings. For relearn, make sure the engine is at normal
operating temperature (coolant minimum temperature of 167°F [75°C] and a maximum intake
air temperature of 194°F [90°C]). For idle relearn, let the engine idle in Basic Settings for a few
minutes. For road test in Basic Settings, perform multiple accelerations and decelerations, as
well as a part throttle cruise. Check to see that learn values are back within normal range. If
OK, clear the codes. Field technicians report faster relearn and verification of repair by not
clearing codes until correct fuel control has been confirmed). Finish by setting all Readiness
Codes, and then one more final road test (see “Basic Settings and Fuel Trim Accelerated
Learning” on page 48).
•Some vehicles may have part throttle learning divided into 3 different parts: (P/T1, P/T2, P/
T3). Check to see that each part is in proper specification.
•For most systems that have FT control using ±25% maximum range, readings above or below
14 sets a DTC and turns on the MIL.
C.2 Short-Term Fuel Control
Short term FT is usually called O2 regulation or O2 control. The readings are constantly changing,
directly responding to O2S input. Normal readings usually are in the ±10% range with 0 as the
midpoint. If it gets too far off, Long-term additive or multiplicative adjusts the window back to the
midpoint (balanced state).
C.2.1 Examples Short Term FT O2 Regulation
Depending on the year, vehicle, engine and then engine code you may see some combination of
the following short term FT parameters:
•ADPVALUEMIXTURE(BANK1)

•O2 SENSOR(BANK 1,BEFORE CAT)(V)
•O2 SENSOR(BANK 2,BEFORE CAT)(V)
•O2 REGULATION (BANK 1)(%)
•O2 REGULATION (BANK 2)(%)
These parameters are equivalent to the short term FT correction during closed loop operation.
This correction is based on the O2S input for a given engine load and speed. The ECM monitors
engine operating conditions and calculates short-term and long-term adaptations to correct for
engine wear.
The value typically range is ±10. A normal operating engine should see this value fluctuate by at
least 2%. If it fluctuates by more than 7%, perform a fuel mixture diagnosis.
NOTE:
iSome vehicles use a calculated value called factor. The parameter names are ADP VALUE O2
and DYNAMIC FACTORO2, SNS BEFORE CAT. Normal range is 0.5–1.5;
1.0 ±0.3 is base midpoint; for 2.8L (AAA), the range is 0.80–1.20.
Positive values indicate the ECM is enriching the air/fuel mixture, and negative values indicate the
ECM is leaning the mixture.
During open loop operation, the ECM runs at a base program without correction and the
parameter displays a fixed 0% value. The ECM adjusts the air/fuel mixture by changing the fuel
injector pulse width.
C.2.2 Important Tips for Short-Term Fuel Control
•On some OBD-I (1991–1995) vehicles, values for short term FT, LEARN O2 (IDLE), LEARN
O2 (P/T), or LEARN O2 (FULL), may be mislabeled as reading in percentage. In actuality,
they are reading a numeric factor of 1.0 midpoint ±0.5 (0.5 to 1.5). For 2.8L AAA engine, the
range is 0.80–1.20.
162
Fuel Control Learning Adaptation Values Oxygen Sensor Voltage
•Range: 0.5 - 1.5 Normal Value: 1.0 ±0.3 (0.7–1.3) is base midpoint
•For 2.0L (ABA) IDLE ADAPT: 0.87–1.2
•For 2.8L (AAA) IDLE ADAPT: 0.53–1.47
•Part Load: 0.80–1.20
•Low Load: 0.53–1.47
•Adaptation values may be erased if the car battery goes low or is disconnected.
•Additive adaptation is used mostly to correct idle mixture, however, it may also be used at
higher RPM for fine adjustment (may see different additive values at different RPM). With
relearn, it is normal for Additive adaptation to respond quickly. Multiplicative learning typically
requires more learning time and vehicle must be driven on an extended road test under
various driving conditions.
•For most systems that have FT control using ±25% maximum range, readings above or below
14 sets a DTC and turn on MIL.
C.3 Oxygen Sensor Voltage
Typical displays to view O2S voltage are either 001–004 (basic) or 026/033. You may see some
combination of the following parameters:
•O2SENSOR(V)
•O2SENSOR1(V)
•O2SENSOR2(V)
•O2SENSOR(BANK1)(V)
•O2SENSOR(BANK1,AFTERCAT)(V)
•O2SENSOR(BANK1,BEFORECAT)(V)
•O2SENSOR(BANK2)(V)
•O2SENSOR(BANK2,AFTERCAT)(V)
•O2SENSOR(BANK2,BEFORECAT)(V)
•O2SENSOR(BK1-SNS1)(V)
•O2SENSORAFTERCAT(V)
•O2SENSORAFTERCATBK1(V)
•O2SENSORAFTERCATBK2(V)
•O2SENSORBEFORECAT(V)
These parameters indicate the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas. High oxygen levels indicate
a lean air/fuel mixture, while low oxygen levels indicate a rich air/fuel mixture. When the O2Ss are
at operating temperature and the system is operating in closed loop, the ECM constantly adjusts
the air/fuel mixture to achieve a 14.7:1 ratio. The ECM uses O2S signals to determine how rich or
lean the engine is running and to correct the mixture.
C.4 Early Vehicle Oxygen Sensor Reading
Many early vehicles, model years 1990–93, with limited display groups may not read O2S or O2
control. However, you can use Expert Mode and select display group 000. O2V reads in binary
163
Fuel Control Learning Adaptation Values Late Model Oxygen Sensor Reading
format (0–255). There is no consistency, but Channel 5 often reads the O2 signal. Look for this
number to be constantly varying up and down by at least 14 digits. If Channel 5 is not active, it may
be an application that only displays an O2 short term FT factor. In this case, check channel 4. The
O2 control factor will also output a binary 0–255 number with 128 as the midpoint. Numbers less
than 128 indicate a rich mixture correction. Numbers higher than 128 indicate a lean mixture
correction. Look for fast fluctuations at different RPM and load conditions which indicate an active
O2S (use DVOM to test O2S directly). Above is for those vehicles with display group 000 only. On
vehicles with additional display groups but still not displaying O2V directly, look at the O2 Factor
which reads 1.0 as the base point. Higher numbers indicate correction for a mixture too lean and
lower numbers indicate a correction for a mixture too rich. A typical normal range is 1.0 ±0.3.
The following sections are display examples for late model OBD-II O2S and CAT tests.
C.4.1 Example: Motronic 2.9 (1993–1995)
The following example concerns reading engine data display Group 000.
Display group 000 has 10 channels or display fields, listed below.
1. Coolant temperature
2. Engine load
3. RPM
4. O2 factor
5. Idle Adapt
6. Part throttle adapt
7. Low load adapt
8. IAC adapt
9. Not used
10. IGN timing
The display fields are output in binary numbers. To understand the binary number, visualize a
clock with 0 at the top center. The number 128 is at the center bottom. The binary clock counts
from 0 to 255.
The number can theoretically range from 0 to 255 with 0 as the midpoint. A number of 13 to 128
indicates that the ECM has commanded an overall lean mixture correction. A number of 128 to
243 indicates that the ECM has commanded an overall rich mixture correction.
C.5 Late Model Oxygen Sensor Reading
Some late models are using 0–5V O2Ss. Rich is high voltage; lean is low voltage. For example, a
VW 2001 2.0L with the AEG engine and the 2002 Passat W8 (BDP). Other late model vehicles
may be using a Linear Air/Fuel Ratio sensor (A/F sensor) which measures the exact air/fuel
mixture (not like a standard Zirconium O2S switching constantly between rich and lean). The
voltage displayed (display group 33 in Table C-1 below) for these is an ECM computed value
where 1.5V = 1 lambda or the ideal fuel mixture ratio of 14.7:1. Higher voltage indicates correction
for a rich mixture and lower voltage indicates a correction for a lean mixture. Under normal load,
the A/F sensor voltage should vary around 1.5V, which means the mixture is right at stoichiometric
164
Fuel Control Learning Adaptation Values Late Model Oxygen Sensor Reading
or Lambda = 1. During deceleration from 3000 RPM, the mixture is lean and the A/F sensor
voltage should go higher than 1.5V. Under full load acceleration, the mixture is rich and the A/F
sensor voltage should go low, 1V or lower.
NOTE:
iThe broadband lambda probe linear Air Fuel Ratio Sensor acquires and evaluates lambda values
differently to the step type zirconium O2S. The lambda value (display group 31 in Table C-1) is
determined from a change of current, not from a change of voltage.
C.5.1 Oxygen Sensor Aging Test
The O2S Aging Test is a Readiness Code test, typically display groups 34 or 35 for O2S before
CAT, and display groups 36 or 43 for O2S after CAT.
Typical display Group, DIAGN AGING O2 BEFORE CAT
•ENGINE SPEED(rpm)
•EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE
•DYNAMIC FACTOR
•DIAGNOSE STATUS
Depending on the year, vehicle, engine, and engine code, you may see some combination of the
following O2S Aging Test Parameter list:
•AGINGTESTO2(BK1-SNS2)
•AGINGTESTO2(BK2-SNS2)
•AGINGTESTO2AFTERCATBK1
•AGINGTESTO2AFTERCATBK2
•AGINGTESTO2-SNSAFTERCAT
•AGINGTESTO2-SNSBEFORECAT
•DIAGNOSESTATUS
•DYNAMICFACTOR
•DYNAMICFACTORO2-SNSBEFORECAT
These parameters indicate the Readiness Code for the O2S Aging test. The test measures the
O2S cycling time between a rich to lean transition back to rich transition. This measurement then
translates into the aging condition of the O2S. If the specified allowable time is exceeded,
DIAGNOSESTATUS will read NOT OK. A typical normal range for the cycling time period duration
(DYNAMICFACTOR) is 0.1–1.8 seconds (typical functional range is 0–3.3 seconds).

•ENGINE LOAD(%)
•O2 SENSOR(BANK 1, AFTER CAT)(V)
•CORR.BETW O2-SNS 1+2 BK1(ms)
•DIAGNOSE STATUS
These parameters indicate the relationship of the before CAT O2S and the after CAT O2S. The
after CAT O2S has the authority to override the before the CAT O2S. The reason for this is in case
the before CAT O2S performance deteriorates to the point of jeopardizing the CAT, the after CAT
O2 control can take over control preventing possible CAT damage. The after CAT O2S also can
correct for slight changes in the mixture if it detects displacement of the before CAT voltage curve.
It takes control by holding the before CAT O2 control at its higher or lower point for a specific time
(dwell time). If this time is in the positive range (i.e., 50 ms), then the mixture is shifted to the rich
direction. If the time is negative (i.e., -50 ms), then the mixture is shifted to the lean direction.
NOTE:
iIf the value is above +200 ms, then there is a possible leak in the exhaust system.
C.5.3 CAT Test Parameters
Below is a typical display group 46/47, DIAGNOSE CATALYST BANK 1.
•ENGINE SPEED(rpm)
•CATALYST TEMPERATURE
•CATALYST EFFICIENCY
•DIAGNOSE STATUS
The engine management ECM compares the voltage(s) of the upstream or before CAT O2S to the
voltage(s) of the downstream or after the CAT O2S. The result is called the amplitude ratio
between the two sensors and indicates the CAT test result in either percent or amplitude ratio. A
good CAT amplitude ratio range is 0.00 –0.32.
