Notes:

  • ◆ All the possible faults which can be recognized by the automatic gearbox control unit -J217 and displayed on V.A.G 1551 with the printer switched on when interrogating the contents of the fault memory are listed below, grouped according to the fault code number.
  • ◆ If faults occur only occasionally, or if the fault memory was not erased after rectifying faults, these faults are displayed as "sporadic faults"for a stipulated period of time => Gearbox control unit fault recognition, Page 01-1.
  • ◆ If components are indicated as being defective during interrogation of the fault memory, test also the wiring to the components for short circuit and open circuit on the basis of the current flow diagram.

=> "Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault Finding and Fitting Locations" binder

  • ◆ 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

Output on printer
V.A.G 1551

No fault recognised!

If "No fault recognised" appears in the display after completing repairs, the self-diagnosis is completed.
If the automatic gearbox does not shift gears properly despite self-diagnosis:
Check control unit identification
Continue fault finding as specified in the fault finding programme
=> "Fault finding; Power Transmission" binder
