Notes:

The output diagnostic test mode can only be
carried out with the ignition switched on and the
engine NOT running.
The output diagnostic test mode is interrupted if
the engine is started or a rotary pulse is
recognized.
During the output diagnostic test mode, the
individual outputs are triggered until the
program is continued by pressing the button.

The outputs are checked by listening for the
sound of the component being actuated, of by
feeling for mechanical evidence of actuation
(clicking, vibration, etc.).
Without letting the engine run briefly, switch the
ignition off for approx. 20 sec before repeating
the output diagnostic test mode.

- Connect VAG 1551 scan tool and initiate until
"Select function" is indicated on the display

There must be no malfunctions stored (if
necessary repair malfunction, erase DTC
memory and test drive, switch engine off and
start again, test drive and, as a check, check
DTC memory again).

Note:
The readiness code is erased each time the DTC
memory is erased (either with function 05 or with
Mode 4).

- After checking and erasing DTC memory, let
engine continue to run at idle.

Idle speed on vehicles without A/C and rear windshield heater switched on: 750-850 RPM.
Notes on display field 3:
For the testing at wide open throttle, stop engine, and switch ignition on.
Since in vehicles with manual transmission and automatic transmission different throttle bodies are installed, the start of
opening of the throttle body can be measured with ignition on and thus incorrect installation can be checked
Manual transmission: 45-53%
