Fault Index 00282…65535

t	The fault table is listed according to the -V.A.G - 5-digit fault code on the left.

t	Explanation of the fault types (e.g.: “Open circuit/short circuit to earth”): → Fault reader operating instructions

t	If components are indicated as faulty: First check the wiring and connectors to these components as well as the system earth connections according to current flow diagram. This is particularly relevant if faults are listed as “occurring sporadically” (SP).

t	After eliminating all faults, clear the fault memory:
