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.
