Address Word 33 Notes

Address word 33

Address word 33 gives access to the generic scan tool function of the 1551/1552 or 5051. This function allows for several expanded functions.

One of the most helpful is access to "Freeze Frame" data. This data documents exact operating conditions under which a DTC is stored. This can be useful in diagnosing intermittent faults.

The proprietary mode is accessed using address word 01. It can provide The same data as the generic mode, but in the more familiar Volkswagen scan tool formats. It also provides greatly expanded data and functionality, and is the preferred method of communication for Volkswagen technicians using The VAG 1551/1552 and VAS 5051.
