1997 AUDI A4 ATW Engine Readiness Code Workshop Manual

01-67


Readiness code
The readiness code appears as an 8-digit display
in measuring value block 086, display field 1.
Each of the 8 digits is allocated to a specific
exhaust related system.
During a test sequence which must be performed
completely, On Board Diagnostic (OBD) checks
the function of each of these systems and then
changes the character assigned to it in the 8-digit
indication from "1" to "0" once test has been
performed successfully.
When the readiness code is generated after a
successfully completed test sequence, it reads "0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0" (measuring value block 086,
display field 1).
If a single test is completed entirely, but indicated
as "not OK", a DTC will be stored in DTC
memory. Check DTC Memory Page 01

Readiness code is returned to"0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1"
if:

DTC memory was erased,
Voltage supply to ECM was cut off (e.g.
connector disconnected, battery disconnected)
a new Engine Control Module (ECM) was
installed
In this case, the readiness code must be re-
generated Page 01
-73
.

Note:
During driving operation in various load
conditions, exhaust relevant tests are performed
by the control module and the readiness code is
generated on its own. In this case, however, the
concluding control possibilities are not available,
meaning that it will not be indicated whether the
vehicle is free of malfunctions upon transfer to
the customer.

Note for display field 1:
Display field 1 is the most important. This indicates which system was checked via On Board Diagnostic (OBD) since the last
time DTC memory was erased or a new control module was implemented. Once DTC memory is erased, all testable values
are set to "1", after the test is performed successfully, the values are set to "0".
