Fault table: SAE P0 codes
Fault table: SAE P0 codes
Notes:
-
◆ The fault code overview is listed according to SAE or V.A.G code.
-
◆ Electronic accelerator "EPC" relevant faults are indicated additionally by the electronic accelerator warning lamp ("EPC warning lamp") in dash panel insert.
-
◆ Explanation of the fault types (e.g. "open circuit/short circuit to earth"):
=> Fault reader operating instructions
-
◆ If components are indicated as faulty:
First check the wiring and connectors to these components as well as the system earth connections according to current flow diagram. This is particularly relevant if faults are output as "occurring sporadically" (SP).
-
◆ Erase fault memory after rectifying fault .
V.A.G 1551 print out, e.g.:
16497 P0113 035
Intake air temperature sender -G42
Signal too large
Sporadic fault
Explanation:
-
◆ 16497 = Fault code
-
◆ P0113 = Additional fault code (only for USA at present and disregard)
-
◆ 035 = Fault type as a number
-
◆ Intake air temperature sender -G42 = Faulty current path or incorrect location
-
◆ Signal too large = Fault type as text
-
◆ Sporadic faults = Faults that are not always present e.g. loose contact
Explanation of SAE fault codes:
System type:
-
◆ Pxxxx = Drive train fault code
Standard code:
-
◆ P0xxx = Fault codes defined according to SAE with specified fault texts
-
◆ P1xxx = Additional exhaust-relevant fault codes provided by manufacturer
-
◆ P2xxx = Fault codes defined according to SAE with specified fault texts from model year 2000
-
◆ P3xxx = Additional exhaust-relevant fault codes provided by manufacturer from model year 2000
System group:
-
◆ Px0xx = Fuel, air metering and additional exhaust gas regulation
-
◆ Px1xx = Fuel and air metering
-
◆ Px2xx = Fuel and air metering
-
◆ Px3xx = Ignition system
-
◆ Px4xx = Additional exhaust gas regulation
-
◆ Px5xx = Speed and idling speed regulation
-
◆ Px6xx = Control unit and output signals
-
◆ Px7xx = Gearbox
-
◆ Px8xx = Gearbox
-
◆ Px9xx = Control units and in- and output signals
Fuel and air metering
