1996-2000 OBD-II CODE DEFINITIONS
COMPLAINT: When a VW/Audi vehicle is exhibiting a symptom or is in fail-safe, the technician, in many
cases, is unable to communicate with the on-board diagnostics in order to retrieve the trouble
codes.
CAUSE: The lack of aftermarket equipment, previously unavailable to the technician, to allow
access to vehicle on-board diagnostics such as, code retrieval, data lists and basic setting
resets.
CORRECTION: With the OBD-II mandate beginning in 1996, it is now possible to retrieve codes using the
Generic OBD-II part of your scan tool. This will also allow access to the "freeze frame" and
"pending code" categories which are diagnostic aids to help the technician retrieve codes and
data.
There have also been recent developments which have made available, diagnostic tools
which can communicate with VW/Audi vehicle modules, and also includes pre-OBD-II
diagnostics for codes and data.
Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for diagnostic connector locations in all Volkswagen/Audi models
equipped with 096, 097, 098, 01M, 01N and 01P transmissions.
Refer to the code definition charts in Figures 3 thru 12 for ECM codes on vehicles equipped
with gasoline engines.
Refer to the code definition charts in Figures 13 thru 15 for ECM codes on vehicles equipped
with diesel engines.
Refer to the code definition charts in Figures 16 and 17 for TCM codes.
