On Board Diagnostic (OBD)

Function

The Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) system is
equipped with an Engine Control Module (ECM) -
J220- with On Board Diagnostic (OBD)
capability.
When malfunctions occur in sensors or
components monitored by OBD, Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC) are stored in DTC
memory.
Stored DTCs are identified using the VAG 1551
Scan Tool (ST) Page 01
-15
.
After the necessary repairs are completed, DTC
memory must be erased Page 01
-40
.
OBD II legal regulations require a display
(readiness code) that shows inspection
readiness for the annual exhaust emissions test.
The readiness code shows that every component
and/or system that affects exhaust emissions,
which can lead to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) being switched on, has been operated at
least once with positive results.
The readiness code is reset and/or erased and
must be regenerated every time DTC memory is
erased, the power supply to the ECM -J220- is
interrupted (example: when connecting test box

Mode 5 shows the statistical value of the oxygen sensors as mandated by law. As these values have no direct bearing on
oxygen sensor diagnosis, Mode 5 is of no particular value in an Audi Service department.
Under Mode 6, values can be checked for components and systems that are not continuously monitored.
With Mode 7 all malfunctions can be checked, even if they have not switched on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (if
the MIL has not been switched on, there is no malfunction recognized under Mode 3)

Notes:
If the ECM version that corresponds to the
vehicle is not displayed, replace ECM Page
01
-57
. Incorrect ECM coding leads to:

Performance problems (e.g. jerky shifting,
abrupt load changes, etc.
Increased fuel consumption
Elevated exhaust gas values
Reduction in transmission service life
Malfunctions not present are stored in DTC
memory
Necessary functions are not carried out (oxygen
sensor control, actuation of EVAP canister
system, etc.)
