Output Diagnostic Test Mode

(scan tool function 03)

Test requirements:
- Fuses for engine electronics OK
- Fuel Pump (FP) Relay OK
- Ground connections OK

Triggering sequence:
- Fuel Pump (FP) relay -J17-
- Idle Air Control (IAC) valve -N71-
- Intake manifold change-over valve -N156-
- EVAP canister purge regulator valve -N80-
- EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve -N18-
- Secondary Air Injection (AIR) solenoid valve -N112- (only on vehicles with secondary air injection system)
- Secondary Air Injection (AIR) pump relay -J299- (only on vehicles with secondary air injection system)

NOTE:
- The output diagnostic test mode can only be carried out with the ignition switched on and the engine NOT running.
- The output diagnostic test mode is interrupted if the engine is started or a rotary pulse is recognized.
- During the output diagnostic test mode, the individual outputs are triggered until the program is continued by pressing the button.
- The outputs are checked by listening for the sound of the component being actuated, of by feeling for mechanical evidence of actuation (clicking, vibration, etc.).
- Without letting the engine run briefly, switch the ignition off for approx. 20 sec before repeating the output diagnostic test mode.

- Connect VAG 1551 scan tool and initiate until "Select function" is indicated on the display.
