start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BATTERY WARNING
WARNING: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAGS article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON

accidental air bag inflation
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The anti-lock brake system contains electronic equipment that
can be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment. Since this interference
could cause the possible loss of the anti-lock braking capability,
such equipment should be installed by qualified professionals.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
To prevent catalytic converter overheating, DO NOT allow
engine to idle for more than 20 minutes.

1993 ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Volkswagen Self-Diagnostics
Corrado SLC
INTRODUCTION
If no faults were found while performing preliminary
inspection procedures, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault
codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics,
proceed to H - TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e.,
ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
NOTE: Scan Tester (VAG 1551) must be used to make full use of the
self-diagnostic system capabilities.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Hard Failures
Hard failures of monitored sensors and/or components, cause
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to come on and remain on until
problem is repaired. If malfunction indicator CHECK ENGINE light comes
on and remains on during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must
be determined.
If malfunctions are present for more than 5 seconds, they are
stored as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and will be displayed as a
permanent malfunction even though the malfunction is not occurring at
the time DTCs are displayed. Malfunctions that affect oxygen sensor
control can only be read accurately after a test drive of at least 5
minutes.
Intermittent Failures
If a malfunction occurs for a maximum of 5 seconds, they are
stored and considered to be "sporadic" (intermittent failures). When
displayed on scan tester, malfunctions will have "SP" (sporadic) code.
RETRIEVING CODES
NOTE: See ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS for additional scan tester
operating instructions.

1) Turn ignition on. Connect Jumper Cable (357 971 514E) to
Data Link Connectors (DLC) located in center console. See Fig. 1.
Black end of jumper cable attaches to Black data link connector; White
end of cable attaches to White connector.
2) Leave jumper cable attached for 5 seconds, until on-board

4444 (no faults indicated) or Code 0000 (end of output) appears. To
end code retrieval procedure, reconnect jumper cable to data link
connectors or turn ignition off.
3) To erase fault codes, turn ignition off. Connect jumper
cable and turn ignition on. Leave jumper cable attached for 5 seconds,
until CHECK ENGINE light begins to blink.
4) When light displays code 4444 (no faults indicated),
reconnect jumper cable to data link connectors or turn ignition off to
end code clearing procedure. Fault memory is now erased.Fig. 1: Retrieving Fault Codes (Typical)
