OCTAVIA Self-Diagnosis Self-diagnosis Note: The self-diagnosis monitors only a part of the fuel injection and ignition system. Features of self-diagnosis The Motronic control unit (J220) for the fuel in- jection and ignition system is equipped with a fault memory. The fault memory is designed as a permanent memory and a volatile memory.
