Modes under address word 33:
Mode 1: Transfer diagnosis data Switch ignition on or let engine idle
Mode 2: Transfer operating conditions Switch ignition on or let engine idle
Mode 3: Check DTC memory Switch ignition on or let engine idle
Mode 4: Erase diagnosis information Switch ignition on or let engine idle
Mode 5: Output of HO2S signals Switch ignition on or let engine idle
Mode 6: Read test results (starting with control module 8D0 906 266 A) Switch ignition on or let engine idle
Mode 7: Read test results (starting with control module 8D0 906 266 A) Switch ignition on or let engine idle

Under address word 33, Mode 1 to Mode 5 can be selected starting from control module 8D0 906 266 and Mode 1 to
Mode 7 starting from control module 8D0 906 266 A.
Individual measuring values can be read under Mode 1. This is not recommended for Audi service department since this
information is available more easily under address word 01, function 04 and/or function 08.
Mode 2 shows the operating conditions under which a malfunction was recognized.
Mode 3 is used to check the DTC memory and Mode 4 is used to erase the DTC memory. In the Audi service department,
only address word 01, function 05 should be used to erase, since with Mode 4 the DTC memory is erased immediately
even if it was not checked first.
Static variables of HO2S probes, required by legal regulations, are displayed under Mode 5. Since these variables have
no direct relationship to HO2S diagnosis, Mode 5 is not needed by the Audi service department.

Malfunction recognition and repair

Notes:

Before initiating the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) program, and before testing wiring and replacing components, check the
following ground connections for corrosion and damaged connections and repair them if necessary
- Check ground connections on intake manifold
- Battery ground strap OK
- Ground cable between engine and body OK Malfunction recognition and repair is described for the VAG 1551 scan tool, since it offers significantly more functions.
However, malfunction recognition and repair is also possible with a "generic" scan tool.
A specific procedure must be used to evaluate malfunctions, since the engine electronics can be checked with address
word 01 and address word 33 on OBD II vehicles. Address word 33 can only be used to check malfunctions that have
already switched on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). Address word 01 can also display the malfunctions that have
not switched on the MIL. In contrast to before, the MIL is not switched on immediately with some malfunction types, but
only after two successive trips with cold starts preceding them where the malfunction occurs. If there is a customer
complaint and/or driving performance problem, the DTC memory should be checked thoroughly with address word 01,
function 02. On vehicles with MIL lit up, the DTC memory should also be checked with address word 33, mode 3. If the
DTC memory is checked with mode 3, mode 2 should also be checked which shows the operating conditions as they were
when the malfunction was recognized.
If a malfunction is present for longer than a specified time, the malfunction is stored as a static malfunction. Malfunctions
that never or immediately switch the MIL on are set as "sporadic" at each engine start. If the malfunction occurs again, the
"sporadic" status is erased again. The "sporadic" status is erased exclusively after an OK diagnosis for malfunctions that
