Fault table: Fault codes 00515...01282
Fault table: Fault codes 00515...01282
  Note
t  The fault table is listed in ascending order, according to the 5 digit V.A.G fault code on the left.
t  Explanations on 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. Only when no fault can be located here should the component be renewed. This is particularly relevant if faults are output as “sporadic” (SP).
t  Erase fault memory after rectifying faults.
  Note
00515…003 Hall sender -G40- no signal sporadic fault
  Note
t  00515 = Fault code
t  003 = Fault type as number
t  Hall sender -G40- = faulty current path or fault location
t  No signal = Fault type as text
t  Sporadic faults = Faults that are not always present e.g. loose contact
