 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table
 
Notes:  
 
When malfunctions occur in monitored sensors or components, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in DTC 
memory with a description of the malfunction type. 
 "E-Gas"-relevant malfunctions are also indicated in the instrument cluster by the warning lamp for Electronic Power 
Control ("EPC warning lamp"); Notes for E-gas system   Page 24
-134
 . 
 Malfunctions that worsen emissions are also indicated by an exhaust warning lamp (MIL for output DTM) that is also 
located in the instrument cluster. There are malfunctions that cause the exhaust warning lamp to light up immediately after 
recognition. Malfunctions can also occur that do not cause the exhaust MIL to light up immediately, but only if malfunction 
is recognized again after repeated engine starts. 
 The DTC table is organized by the 5 digit code at left.
 If a stored DTC does not recur within the next 40 warm-up cycles, the DTC will be erased automatically.
 Malfunctions that occur only sporadically (temporary malfunctions) are are identified by the letters "SP" (sporadic 
malfunction) on the VAG1551 scan tool display. The word sporadic means "appearing or occurring at irregular intervals, 
occasional". 
 Do not immediately replace components that the VAG1551/VAS5051 suggests are faulty, instead: Check wire 
connections and harness connectors to these components according to wiring diagram. Also check Ground (GND) 
connections according to wiring diagram. This is particularly valid when malfunctions are displayed as "sporadically 
occurring" (SP).
