Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Notes:

Connect the VAG1551 Scan Tool (ST) and select address word 03 "Brake Electronics".
Check the control module version page 01
-52
and press the button.
Press buttons -0- and -2- to select "Check DTC Memory" function 02. Press -Q- button to confirm input.
Notes:
Each malfunction is assigned a 5-digit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The DTC is located in the left column of the DTC
table. If you have switched the printer on by pressing the "PRINT" button, the VAG1551 scan tool (ST) prints the message
identifying the malfunction and the DTC. Otherwise, DTCs are not displayed by the VAG1551 scan tool.
The contents of DTC memory remain stored until memory is erased, page 01
-15
.
Sporadically occurring malfunctions are identified via indication of "/SP" on the right-hand side of the display.
Static malfunctions that cannot be detected when the vehicle is stationary are also identified with "/SP" if the ignition has
been switched off and then on again.
The following DTC table includes all the DTCs that can be stored by the ABS control module -J104- and displayed and
printed out by the VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool. Malfunctions are listed by DTC number.

No malfunction recognized!
If this display appears, process
is concluded. No DTCs are
stored in DTC memory.
If corresponding warning lamps
light up anyway, check the
following points:
Voltage supply for ABS control module -J104-
below 10.5 volts at a vehicle speed less than 6
km/h. Open circuit in activation wire for ABS warning
light -K47- between ABS control module (w/EDL) -
J104- and instrument cluster combination
processor -J218-. - See section "Overview of
indicator lamp functions"
If no malfunction can be found, and there is still a
problem, there may be a mechanical malfunction (e.g.
solenoid valve sticking). - Expand troubleshooting to
include "Electrical test", function
