On-Board Diagnostic
system (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)¢• in
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system .
T he warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the id le has stabilized.
This indicates that the MIL is working proper­
ly.
If the light does not go out after the engine
is started, or illuminates while you are driv­
ing, a malfunction may exist in the engine sys­
tem .
If the light illuminates, the catalytic con­
verter could be damaged .
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoid­
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel­
erations) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dealer.
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate

On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 17 Locat io n of Data Link Co nn ector (D LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo ­
nents of your emission contro l system. Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code. In case of a mal­
funct ion , the component will be identified
and the fault stored as a code in the control module memory.

30 Driver in formation d isplay
The MIL light may a lso illuminate if there is a
l eak in the on-board fue l vapor recovery sys­
tem .
If the light illuminates after a ref ueling,
stop the veh icle and make sure the fue l filler
cap is properly closed
¢ page 204.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the
stored data can only be displayed using spe ­
cial diagnostic eq uipment (gener ic scan tool
for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic
eq uipment, push the p lug into the Data L ink
Connector (DLC). The DLC is located to the
rig ht of the hood release
