Performing self-diagnosis
Fault table
Notes:
-
◆ In the following table all possible faults which can be recognised by the Digi Swing control unit -J327- and displayed on V.A.G 1551 with printer switched on, when interrogating contents of fault memory, are listed according to fault code.
-
◆ If faults occur only occasionally or if the fault memory was not erased after rectifying the faults, these faults after a certain time are displayed as "sporadic faults".
-
◆ If faulty components are found, test the wiring to the components additionally for short-circuits and open circuits according to the current flow diagram.
-
◆ For the fault type "open circuit" first check connectors for contact corrosion or ingress of water, renew if necessary.
-
◆ The fault code is printed out in the "rapid data transfer" mode only when the printer of V.A.G 1551 is switched on.
Example: Fault code (5-position) 65535
-
◆ For some faults only the fault code is shown on the print-out and the V.A.G 1551 display. Components checked are listed in the table.

No fault recognised!

If after successful repairs "No fault recognised!" appears, the self-diagnosis is concluded.
If the clutch electronics do not function fault-free despite self-diagnosis, repairs must be carried out.
