Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Table

Notes:
^ When beginning troubleshooting of the vehicle control modules, always start with "Automatic Test Sequence" address word 00 by pressing buttons -0- and -0-, because the control modules are interconnected with a CAN-bus wire. This checks DTC memory of the control modules in the vehicle.
^ All the possible malfunctions which can be recognized by ABS control module -J104- and printed-out on VAG 1551 are listed according to the 5 digit DTC.
^ DTC appears (in the "Rapid data transfer" mode) only on the print-out.

Example:
DTC Malfunction code
5 digit 3 digit
00283 035

^ The 3 digit malfunction code next to the DTC can be disregarded, but the text describing the malfunction type is relevant.
^ Reference is made to individual "Electrical testing" test steps in the "Corrective action" column.
^ Before replacing components indicated as being faulty, check all the appropriate harness connectors, wiring and Ground (GND) connections using the wiring diagram.
^ After carrying out repairs, always check and erase DTC memory with the VAG 1551 scan tool. Road test at a speed exceeding 20 km/h (13 mph).
^ After the road test, check DTC memory again.
