2005 Audi A6 3.2 TSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Audi A4, 2006 Audi A4, and 2005 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Diagnostic Mode 06 displays the test results of emission related components and systems which are not continuously monitored.

The values of the individual test results must reach the specified value or must be within the min. and max. limits.

NOTE:
  • Depending on diagnostic tester and protocol used, the information in diagnostic mode 06 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), or On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID).

Test requirements 

  • Exhaust system must be properly sealed between the catalytic converter and the cylinder heads.
  • No DTCs stored in the DTC memory.
  • Coolant temperature at least 80°C.

Work procedure 

  • Connect the diagnostic tester.
  • Start the engine and run at idle.
NOTE:
  • If the engine does not start, crank the engine using starter for at least 5 seconds, do not switch the ignition off afterward under any circumstances.
  • Select "Mode 6: Check test the results of components that are not continuously monitored".
  • Select the desired "Test-ID" of the component or system that is to be monitored, e.g. "Test-ID 01: Oxygen Sensor Monitor Bank 1 - Sensor 1".
  • Select the desired "Test-ID".

The current minimum and maximum values will be displayed on the diagnostic tester screen.

The following table is a numerical list of all "Test-IDs" or "Hex-IDs" that may be selected.
