Testing procedure
Check the vehicle under cold start conditions during a road test.
  Note!
A second person is required for the road test.
  Caution
The fault finder must be secured in the back seat and operated from there.
–  Attach the unit -V.A.G. 1551- (-V.A.G. 1552-). Switch on the ignition and enter “direction code” 01 to select the engine control unit. (Fault finder: Connect and select the engine control unit → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.)
   
Display reading:
–  Press the 0 and 8 buttons for the function “Read measurement values block” and confirm the entry with the Q button.

When Lambda regulation begins to operate, the Lambda probe must be in operating condition and the Lambda regulator must be activated.
If the faults in vehicle operating behaviour begin before Lambda regulation starts:
Lambda regulation cannot be the cause of the fault.
  Note!
If behaviour improves after Lambda regulation begins, it means that regulation intervenes by compensating for the fault's cause (for example: undue air, faulty injector, etc.). This can be detected by consulting the adaptive Lambda values.
If the fault in the vehicle's operating behaviour begins after Lambda regulation begins:
–  Test Lambda regulation → Chapter.
