About Trouble Codes




Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Table For Radio System

NOTE:
- The following table lists all the DTCs that can be recognized by the radio system and printed out by the VAG 1551. The DTCs are listed in order according to their 5-digit numbers.
- DTCs appear only on print-out.
- Before replacing a component shown as malfunctioning, check wiring and connections to the component and Ground (GND) connections according to wiring diagram.
- After carrying out repair work and testing the system, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory must always be checked again and erased using VAG 1551 scan tool.
- The DTC memory records all static and sporadic malfunctions. If a malfunction occurs and persists for at least 2 seconds, it is identified as a static malfunction. If the malfunction does not occur again it is registered as a sporadic malfunction and the letters "/SP" will appear at the right of the display.
- When the ignition is switched on, all existing malfunctions are automatically re-classified as sporadic malfunctions and will only register as static malfunctions if they still occur after testing.
- If a sporadic malfunction no longer occurs after the radio is switched on and off 40 times (ignition on for at least 5 minutes, vehicle speed 30 km/h), it will be erased.
