Self-diagnosis of Motronic system
Technical data for self-diagnosis
Equipment
The term "self-diagnosis" relates specifically to the electrical and electronic part of the control system.
The control unit is equipped with a fault memory so that the fault can be traced quickly in the event of an electronic/electrical component failure or an open circuit.
The advantages of self-diagnosis can only be fully exploited by using the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 or the fault reader V.A.G. 1551, in operating mode 1 "Rapid data transfer."
Functions which the vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 and the fault reader V.A.G 1551 can register , List of selectable functions.
The fault memory is equipped with a non-volatile memory and therefore does not depend on the power supply.
Faults relating to the electronic throttle are also indicated by a warning lamp in the dash panel insert.
Selectable functions when using fault reader V.A.G 1551
The prerequisites for selecting the desired functions can be taken from the following table.
