Reading measured value block; Display group number 004; "Checking solenoid valves whilst driving"

  • ◆ The solenoid valves can be checked whilst driving via "Read measured value block 08"; "display group number 004".
  • ◆ The table shows the solenoid valves -N88-, -N89- and -N90- as activated in each selector lever position. These solenoid valves control the switching valves to the relevant gears.
  • ◆ The solenoid valve -N91- activates the lock-up clutch modulation valve and is not covered here.
  • ◆ The solenoid valves -N92- and -N94- are supplementary valves which affect selection changes and are only controlled during gear changes and displayed in zones 5 and 6.
  • ◆ V.A.G 1551 display zone 1 has 6 characters (0000 00) and is read as follows:
