On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 4 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
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-
18
ponent will be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illum inate if there is a
l
eak in the on-boar d fuel vapor recovery system.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling, stop
the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler cap is
properly closed c:> page 233.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the stor
ed data can only be displayed using special d iag
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic equip
ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the right of the hood
release c:> fig. 4.
Your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service
station can interpret the code and perform the
necessary repair.
11. WARNING
Do not use the diagnostic connector for per
sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli
sion!
