Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (Function 03)


Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (function 03)
The pump motor can be checked via output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM), and the correct function of the hydraulic circuit (allocation of brake pressure lines to wheel brakes and function of valves) can be checked for mix-ups and leaks.

Note:
^ The vehicle must be raised until all wheels are free to turn. ( 2. technician required for turning wheels)
^ Test sequence can always be exited via the -C- button on the tester.
^ Activation time of actuators is limited to 60 or 90 seconds. The actuator test will be terminated if the " (arrow) button" is not pressed within this period.
^ Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly relieves the vacuum in the brake booster. This means that more pressure must be applied to the brake pedal in order to achieve the same fluid pressure in the brake system as is achieved with vacuum.
^ With the vacuum released from the brake booster, it is possible that the wheels will not lock Refer to start engine in order to build up vacuum in the brake booster.
Example:
VAG1551 Display during output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)
(e.g. front left wheels fl)





IfI = Inlet valve, front left
B+ = Battery Positive Voltage (B+), there is voltage at valve
0fl = Outlet valve, front left
0V = 0 volts; no voltage at valve
locked/ free = wheel condition, must be checked by 2nd technician





^ Connect VAG 1 551 Scan Tool (ST).
^ Switch on ignition.
^ Press button -1- to select "Rapid data transfer" operating mode 01.
^ Select control module for brake electronics (address word 03), Refer to VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST), Connecting and Selecting Functions
