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
18
component in your engine system has been as-
signed a code . In case of a malfunction, the com-
ponent will be ident ified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a
leak in the on-board fuel vapor recovery system.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the st or-
ed data can only be displayed using spec ial d iag-
nostic equipment (generic scan tool for OBD).
In orde r to connect the special d iagnost ic 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 dea ler or a qua lified service
station can interpret the code and perform the
necessary repair .
& 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!
