Workshop 29
Accessing, Reading & Erasing Engine Trouble Codes 2.7tdi.
General information
Trouble codes are displayed by the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Fig. 1
The ECM fault memory can also be checked using diagnostic equipment connected to the
Data link connector (ELC).Fig. 1 (A)
Switch ignition on.
Check that MIL illuminates.
Start engine. Allow to idle.
If MIL extinguishes: No trouble codes have been recorded.
If MIL remains illuminated: Access trouble codes.

Accessing Codes
Switch ignition ON.

Bridge data link connector (DLC) terminals IGN and CHK (a paperclip will do the job). Fig. 2.
Wait 2 seconds.
Disconnect bridge wire from data link connector (DLC) Fig. 2.
Count ML flashes. Compare with trouble code table.
Long flashes indicate the ‘tens’ of the trouble code Fig. 3 [A].
Short flashes indicate the ‘units’ of the trouble code Fig. 3 [C].
A short pause separates each flash Fig. 3 [B].
A long pause separates each trouble code Fig. 3 [D].
For example: Trouble code 12 displayed Fig. 3.
Switch ignition OFF. Rectify faults as necessary.
