NOTES: The ECM uses the coding that is entered and displayed only after the ignition has been switched off once. Incorrect coding leads to:
- Driving performance problems (jerky shifting, rough load change, etc.)
- Increased fuel consumption
- Elevated exhaust gas values
- Decrease in transmission service life
- Storing of malfunctions that are not present in DTC memory
- Functions are not carried out (oxygen sensor control, triggering of the EVAP canister system, etc.).
