If something else is displayed:
=> Fault reader operating instructions
-
‒ End output (function 06) => Page 01-57
.
-
‒ Switch off ignition and separate diagnostic connections.
Note:
If a fault is recognised:
-
◆ 1. Rectify fault.
-
◆ 2. Interrogate fault memory (function 02).
-
◆ 3. Erase fault memory (function 05).
Fault table
Notes:
-
◆ The following table lists all the faults, with the corresponding 5-digit code numbers, that can be recognized by the airbag control unit -J234- and displayed and printed out by the V.A.G 1551 or VAS 5051.
-
◆ Fault codes appear only on print-out.
-
◆ Some of the text listed will only be displayed on the VAS 5051. Only the code numbers will be printed out on the V.A.G 1551.
-
◆ Possible faults are dependent on the relevant vehicle equipment.
-
◆ Before replacing a component shown as faulty, check wiring and connections to the component as well as earth connections according to current flow diagram.
-
◆ Check all relay plate connections are seated securely.
-
◆ When repair has been carried out, the fault memory must always be interrogated again with the fault reader V.A.G 1551 or VAS 5051 and erased.
-
◆ In addition, the fault type may also appear in the fault table.
