About Trouble Codes

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Table, Airbag System


NOTE:
- In the following table, all the possible malfunctions that can be recognized by the airbag control module -J234- are listed according to their DTC code numbers. Existing malfunctions will be printed with their 5-digit DTC only if the VAG1551 printer is switched on.
- If a malfunction occurs persistently, the airbag Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K75- will light up and remain lit until the malfunction is repaired and the DTC memory has been erased.
- If a malfunction occurs only occasionally or if the DTC memory is not erased after a malfunction is repaired, the malfunction will be displayed as a sporadic malfunction. Such malfunctions are identified by the letters "/SP" to the right on the VAG1551 display and will cause -K75- to light up continuously.
- Before replacing a component shown as malfunctioning, check the wiring to the component for short or open circuit according to the wiring diagram.
- The three digit malfunction type number appearing next to the DTC is a data code which can be disregarded.
