Automatic Test Sequence




During test and assembly work, other control modules may recognize malfunctions like, for example, connector disconnected. DTC memory of all control modules must therefore be checked and erased when work has been completed. For this:

- Press button -0- twice to select "Automatic test sequence", address word 00. Press -Q- button to confirm input. The VAG1551 will send all known address words in sequence.

When a control module responds with its identification, the display indicates the number of stored errors or indicates "no malfunctions recognized".

DTCs stored in the system are indicated sequence and printed out. Then the VAG1551 scan tool sends the next address word.

Automatic test sequence is over when the following indication appears on the display:
