Notes on display field 1:

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a temperature-dependent resistor. If the sensor signal is falsified by e.g.
dampness in the harness connection (effect as with resistors connected in parallel), this falsification can lie in a range that
is not recognized by the DTC memory.
If a malfunction relating to the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is stored, a coolant temperature of 20 C (68
F) is displayed in the measuring block at engine start. 10 C (50 F) is added to this for each minute of engine operation.
The maximum replacement value is 85 C (185 F).

Notes on display field 3

The oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis shows what oxygen sensor learning value was checked in the learning
process.
If diagnosis is successful, the corresponding value is set to "1", independently of whether the diagnosis was recognized as
OK or not OK.
If an "oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis" value is set to "1" in display field 3, but the corresponding value of
the "oxygen sensor learning requirement display" is not set to "1" in display field 4, the diagnosis was carried out but not
recognized as OK by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The " oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis" is now
continued.
The oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis is reset to "0" every time there is a start with a coolant temperature
less than 40 C (104 F).

Notes on display field 4
Display field 4 (learning requirement display) shows the learning range (display field 2) for which learning is required.
Requirement for learning:

No malfunction stored in DTC memory
Engine speed at idle 650-900 RPM and/or 1500-3000 RPM
Coolant temperature 80-110 C (176-230 F) (if learning does not start immediately after this requirement, step on the
throttle).
Learning is prohibited:

With uneven idle (hunting), during acceleration, at wide open throttle
If malfunctions are stored in the DTC memory (not with sporadic malfunctions)
If differences of 9% are obtained between the richest and leanest oxygen sensor learning value of one display group. If a
9% difference is obtained, continued learning of the learning range involved is discontinued. The learning requirement
display of this learning range can not be 1 display groups 005 and/or 006.
Learning starts 20 sec. after initiation of "Basic Setting" function 04 and/or 2 to 4 min. after each start at a which the coolant
temperature is less than 40 C (104 F). The following listing shows when the request for new learning (learning requirement) is forced:

During "Basic Setting" function 04 with VAG 1551 scan tool and/or each time the DTC memory is erased, all learning
requirement displays are set to 0 in order to force new learning of the oxygen sensor learning values after the shop visit.
At each start, coolant temperature less than 40 C (104 F), the learning requirement is forced in all learning ranges. If there is a large learning value deviation (from the stored learning value to the newly learned value) in the learning
process, all learning requirement displays are reset to 0.
If there is successful learning, the learning requirement values of the respective learning ranges (display field 2) are set to 1.

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%

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.
