Service
Diagnosis
For the new Transporter, you have the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051 and
vehicle diagnosis and service information system VAS 5052 at your disposal.
You can choose the following modes of opera-
tion on the vehicle diagnosis, testing and infor-
mation system VAS 5051:
– Guided fault finding
– Vehicle self-diagnosis
– Test instruments
Operating mode "Guided fault finding" checks
all installed control units, specific to a vehicle, for
fault entries and automatically creates an indivi-
dual test chart from the results.
This helps to locate faults in combination with
ELSA information, such as current flow diagrams
or workshop manuals.
More detailed information about the guided fault finding procedure and operation can
be found in chapter 7 of the operating instructions for VAS 5051.

Despite this, you also have the opportunity of
creating your own test chart.
Using the function and component selection fea-
tures, the tests selected by you will be added to
the test chart and can be carried out in the dia-
gnosis procedure in any order.
Operating mode "Vehicle self-diagnosis" can
still be used in the same way, but further infor-
mation from ELSA is not available.
