Modes under address word 33: Mode 1: Transfer diagnostic data Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 2: Transfer operating conditions Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 3: Check DTC memory Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 4: Erase diagnosis information Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 5: Output of HO2S signals Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 6: Transfer measuring values Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle
Mode 7: Check DTC memory Ignition switched on -or- Engine running at idle Under Address word 33, Modes 1-7 can be addressed.
Under Mode 1, individual measuring values can be displayed. Mode 1 is not recommended for use in an Audi Service
department, because these values can be displayed much more precisely using address word 01 and "Basic Setting"
function 04 or "Read Measuring Value Block" function 08.
Mode 2 shows the operating conditions under which the stored malfunctions were recognized.
With Mode 3, DTC memory is checked-with Mode 4, DTC memory is erased.
Mode 5 shows the statistical value of the oxygen sensors as mandated by law. As these values have no direct bearing on
oxygen sensor diagnosis, Mode 5 is of no particular value in an Audi Service department.
Under Mode 6, values can be checked for components and systems that are not continuously monitored.
