On Board Diagnostic
System (OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ¢.ij in the
instrument cluster is part of the On-Board Diag
nostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when the
ignit ion is switched on and goes out after the en
g ine starts and the idle has stabilized. Th is ind i
cates that the MIL is working properly.
28
If the light does not go out after the engine is
started, or i lluminates while you are driving, a
malfunction may exist in the eng ine system. If
the light illuminates, the catalytic converter
could be damaged .
Continue driving
with reduced power (avoiding
sustained high speeds and/or rapid accelerations)
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 Locatio n of Data Link Co nnector (O LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored component in your engine system has been as
signed a code. In case of a malfunction, the com ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a
leak in the on-board fuel vapor recovery system.
If the l ight illuminates after a refueling, stop the
vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is prop
erly closed
c::;, page 185.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor
ed data can only be displayed using special diag
