Airbag System, OBD Output Diagnostic Test Mode, Function 03

When airbags are ignited the central locking is switched to "unlock", the interior lights are switched "on" and the engine (gasoline engines only) is switched off. In the convertible additionally the Automatic Rollover Supports is raised.

The function "Crash output" is checked with the standard Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM).

With the extended Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) the raising of the Automatic Rollover Supports (convertible) are also checked.

NOTE:
- The Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) must be carried out when the vehicle is stationary.
- The extended Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (convertible) must only be carried out for special reasons (e.g. as servicing point during an inspection).
- During the extended Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) the convertible top must be open.
- If the extended Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) must be repeated (for example when the time limit of 60 seconds is exceeded) the ignition must be switched off and on again before.
- After completing the Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) the central locking controls are not active until the ignition has been switched off and on again.

Extended Standard Output Diagnostic Test Mode, Vehicles with Airbag Control Module J234 version VW7 with Automatic Rollover Supports, Convertible

CAUTION:
- The Automatic Rollover Supports can cause injuries to persons who are in the trigger area.
- Therefore nobody must be in the vehicle and in the Automatic Rollover Supports trigger area when the extended Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) is carried out (keep away at least 1 m (1 yard)).

NOTE:
- At first the Airbag Control Module J234 limits the Automatic Rollover Supports trigger number to 20 (actual counter reading, Read measured value block, display group 12). After this a malfunction entry is made in the control module and the airbag warning lamp lights up.
- Via a special access code (ask Service Department for code and procedure) it is possible to set the counter back to zero.
- When doing this the workshop code of the tester being used for the backspace is saved in the system, Read measured value block, display group 12.
- After the ignition has been switched on or the engine has been started the Automatic Rollover Supports trigger must be activated within 60 seconds during the On Board Diagnosis (OBD). If the time limit is exceeded the vehicle system blocks the function "Trigger roll-over bar".

CAUTION: For reasons of safety, the counter must always be set back if the trigger number of 20 is exceeded.

- Erase DTC memory and check again.

If there is no malfunction displayed anymore the backspace was successful.

Checking DTC Memory of all Control Modules
During test and assembly work malfunctions can be recognized from other control modules like e.g. plug disconnected. Therefore on completion the fault memories of all control modules must be checked and erased. To do this:
- Press button 0 twice for address word "Automatic test sequence" and confirm entry with Q button. The VAG1551 transmits all known address words one after the other.

When a control module answers with its identification the number of stored malfunctions appears on the display or "No fault detected".

Any system malfunctions that are stored will be displayed one after the other and printed out. The VAG1551 will then transmit the next address word.

The automatic test sequence has ended when following is indicated on display:

NOTE:
- If a malfunction is recognized:
