Output Diagnostic Test Mode



Output Diagnostic Test Mode

Note:
^ All functions which could previously be performed with Scan Tool VAG1551 can also be carried out with the Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System VAS5051.

The pump motor and the correct functioning of the hydraulic circuits (allocation of brake lines to wheel cylinders and function of valves) can be checked via the final control diagnosis for interchange or leaks.

Note:
^ The vehicle must be raised until all wheels are free to turn. (2nd mechanic required to rotate wheels)
^ The C key can be used to exit the test sequence at any time.
^ After depressing the brake pedal several times the vacuum in the brake booster will be exhausted. Therefore more pressure must be applied to the brake pedal in order to attain the same fluid pressure in brake system, as that attained with vacuum.
^ When vacuum in brake booster is exhausted it can happen that the wheels do not lock; start engine and build-up vacuum in brake booster.

Example
Indicated on Scan Tool VAG1551 display during final control diagnosis:

(e.g. front left wheel, FL)

Final control diagnosis - IFL: VBAT OFL: 0V Wheel FL locked

IFL = Inlet valve Front Left

VBAT = Voltage Battery; Voltage at valve

OFL = Outlet valve Front Left

0V = 0 Volt; No voltage at valve

Locked/free = Wheel condition; must be checked by 2nd mechanic if required

Final control diagnosis - EDL valves/Hyd-P: VBAT Wheel FL/FR locked

Hydr-P = Hydraulic pump
