NOTE:

When beginning On Board Diagnostic (OBD) troubleshooting of the vehicle control modules, always start with function "Automatic test sequence" by pressing keys and because the control modules are interconnected with a data bus wire. This checks the DTC memories of the control modules in the vehicle.

All the possible DTCs which can be recognized by the ABS Control Module -J104- (w/EDL) and printed-out on Scan Tool VAG1551 or Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System VAS5051, are listed on the following pages according to the 5 digit DTC code.

DTC code appears (in the "Rapid data transfer" mode) only on the print-out.

Example:    
DTC code P code DTC type code
5 digit 5 digit 3 digit
18256 P1848 035
VAG 1551 print-out Possible cause Repair
No DTC recognized If "No DTC recognized" appears after carrying out repairs, On Board Diagnostic (OBD) is ended.
  If, despite "No DTC recognized" appearing in the display, the ABS system does not function properly, then proceed as follows:
  1. Carry out road test exceeding 20 km/h (13 mph),
  2. Again check DTC memory, if there is still no DTC stored,
  3. Continue troubleshooting without OBD and work through the complete Electrical check ABS MARK 60, TESTING ELECTRICALLY .
