1997 AUDI A4 display

01-198
Display groups 015 and 016
Notes on display fields 2, 3 and 4:
If there is a difference of more than a factor of 3 between the lowest and the highest knock sensor signal in one display group,
the following malfunction is possible:

Corrosion on the harness connector
If there are differences of more than 50% in knock sensor signal between display group 015 (cylinders 1 to 3) and display
group 016 (cylinders 4 to 6), the following malfunctions are possible:
Corrosion on the harness connector
Open circuit
Knock sensor faulty
If no malfunctions are found during the electrical testing of the knock sensor, the wiring and the connections, the engine
should be checked for loose subassemblies or engine damage (e.g. oil burning due to faulty piston) Display groups 013
and/or 014.

Display group 017
Note:
If in display group 029, display field 1, the value of the EGR system throughput diagnosis is not set to "0" during the
regeneration of the "readiness code," and/or a malfunction relating to the exhaust system is stored in the DTC memory,
display group 017 is used to carry out a selective diagnosis.
During cold start at idle, -10 C to 30 C (14 to 86 F), and during "Basic Setting" function 04, no exhaust gas recirculation
takes place. Since exhaust gas recirculation is switched off automatically during "Basic Setting" function 04, diagnosis of EGR
throughput is evaluated only in "Read Measuring Value Block." function 08. If diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, the Engine Control Module (ECM) checks the flow through the EGR system after each
start. The diagnostic conditions are only reached during a trip at 80-100 km/h (50-63 mph) in 4th or 5 gear and/or with selector
lever in the "D"position, preferably in 4th gear position. If the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, the diagnosis is active. In order
to get a diagnostic result, the vehicle must be driven approx. 1-1/2 to 5 minutes under the diagnostic conditions. However, the
diagnosis is only considered OK when the EGR temperature (display field 4) is greater than 50 C (122 F) during the reading
time (display field 2). Diagnosis of the EGR flow (exhaust gas recirculation quantity) is active as soon as the following diagnostic conditions are
fulfilled:

Coolant temperature: greater than 8 C (46 F) ( display group 001) Vehicle speed: constant drive
Engine speed: 2000-3000 RPM ( display group 003) Engine load: 30-60%

0C - 255C
4 = Exhaust gas recirculation temperature (EGR temperature sensor -G98-)
Notes on display fields 1 and 2:

In display fields 1 and 2, the timers are displayed. The final value of timer 2 is "48" or "160". The final values "48" and
"160" are reading times ("48" = reading time 1; "160" = reading time 2).
If the diagnostic conditions are fulfilled, the timers are incremented, outside the diagnostic conditions they are
decremented.
Counter 1 is incremented by "1" as soon as counter 2 reaches the value "255." If the value 255 is reached, counter 2 goes
back to "0" and starts to increment again up to "48" (reading time 1).
If reading time 1 has been reached, the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J192- checks the EGR temperature (display field
4). If the EGR temperature is greater than 50 C (122 F), the diagnosis is OK and the diagnostic program is discontinued.
If the EGR temperature during reading time 1 is less than 50 C (122 F),counter 2 counts up to "160"(reading time 2). When reading time 2 is reached, the -J192- checks the EGR temperature (display field 4) again. If the EGR temperature is
now greater than 50 C (122 F), the diagnosis is OK and the diagnostic program will be discontinued. If the EGR
temperature is again less than 50 C (122 F), the EGR flow test is carried out again.

If +60% is displayed for a longer time , this indicates contact resistance and/or an adjuster that is too hot.
If -40% is displayed for a longer time, this indicates a winding short in the idle adjuster.

Display group 022
Notes:
Display group 022 should only be considered on vehicles with traction control (ATC).
Vehicles with traction control (ATC) can be recognized by the ATC indicator light in the instrument cluster and/or ABS (ATC)
On Board Diagnostic (OBD).
Repair Manual, Brake System On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Repair Group 01.

The wheel slip information for traction control (ATC) is calculated in the ABS control module. If slip is recognized, the ABS
control module requests a reduction in torque from the Engine Control Module (ECM). This torque reduction is divided into 12
reducing stages.
With a cold engine, coolant temperature less than 20 C (68 F), the reduction of engine torque is obtained:
With retarded ignition timing angle for lower reducing stages (1-5)
By brief shut-off of individual fuel injectors for higher reducing stages (6-12)
If the engine is warm, coolant temperature greater than 40 C (104 F), the engine torque reduction is obtained only by briefly
switching off individual fuel injectors.
