Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

On Board Diagnostics (OBD), From 12.01

General Information

OBD program text/data generated by control modules installed on vehicles from 12.01 production may not be recognized by VAG 1551/1552 Scan Tools (ST) with the latest program card. For example: scan tool display shows "text 799", "01529/references" or similar.

Only the VAS 5051/5052 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System is capable of processing all display text/data on these vehicles.

OBD program functions on vehicles from 12.01 production must be performed using the VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic Testing and Information System in mode "Guided Fault Finding".
