On-Board
Diagnostic
system
(OBD)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Ind icator Lamp (MIL)
II
in
the instrument cluster is part of the On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
The warning/indicator light illuminates when
the ignition is switched on and goes out after
the engine starts and the idle has stabi lized .
This indicates that the MIL is working proper-
ly.
If the light does not go out
after the engine
is started, or illuminates while you are driv-
ing, a malfunction may exist in the engine sys-
tern.
If
the light illuminates, the catalytic con-
verter could be damaged.
Continue driving
with reduced power
(avoid-
ing sustained high speeds and/or rapid accel-
erations) and have the condition corrected.
Contact your authorized Audi dea ler.
If the light illuminates, the electronic speed
limiter may also be malfunct ioning. For more
information
q page 31, Electronic speed
limiter .
An improperly closed fuel filler cap may also
cause the MIL light to illuminate
~ page 213.
On-Board Diagnostics
Fig. 18 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo-
nents of your em ission control system . Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code . In case of a mal-
function, the component will be identified
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 sys-
tem.
If
the light illuminates after a refueling,
stop the vehicle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is properly closed
q page 213.
In order to make an accurate diagnosis, the
stored data can on ly be displayed using spe -
cial diagnostic equipment (generic scan tool
for OBD).
In order to connect the special diagnostic
equipment, push the plug into the Data Link ..,.
