Gearbox control unit fault detection
Gearbox control unit fault detection
If a fault exists, it is stored as a static fault. If the type of fault is no longer present after a predetermined period or distance travelled, it is considered to be a sporadic fault.
Faults stored in the memory as sporadic faults will be displayed as “sporadic faults” when the fault reader -V.A.G 1551- is read. “SP” will appear on the right of the display in such cases. If the printer is switched on, “sporadic fault” will be printed out when the faults are read.
Faults stored in the memory as sporadic faults are automatically cleared after 1,000 km or 20 hours.
