- If malfunctions do not occur regularly, these are displayed as occurring sporadically ("SP").
- DTC codes appear only on print-out.
- DTC table may also include a description of the type of malfunction.
- Before replacing components, check the wiring and connections to these components as well as ground connections, according to wiring diagram.
- When a repair has been carried out, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory must always be erased and checked again with the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST).
- If there is a specific complaint and no malfunctions are recognized after checking the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, carry out function 03, "Output Diagnostic Test Mode", or function 08, "Read measuring value block".
