NOTE:

In "Rapid data transfer" operating mode 1 the "Automatic Test Sequence" function 00 can be carried out. This checks the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory of all the vehicle control modules (that have OBD capabilities) automatically.
Some OBD program text/data generated by control modules may not be recognized by VAG 1551/1552 scan tools with the latest program card. For example: scan tool display shows "text 799", "01529 /references" or similar. In these cases, use VAS 5051 tester instead.
