Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table: SAE P0 codes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 2005 Volkswagen GTI, 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, 2004 Volkswagen GTI, and 2003 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- The malfunction code overview is listed according to SAE or VAG code.
- Electronic accelerator "EPC" relevant malfunctions are indicated additionally by the electronic accelerator warning lamp ( "EPC warning lamp" ) in instrument cluster.
- Explanation of the malfunction types (e.g. "open circuit/short circuit to Ground (GND)" ): Scan tool operating instructions
- If components are indicated as malfunctioning: First check the wiring and connectors to these components as well as the system Ground (GND) connections according to wiring diagram. This is particularly relevant if malfunctions are output as "occurring sporadically" (SP).
- Erase DTC Memory after repairing malfunction → DTC memory (functions 02 and 05), checking and erasing .
NOTE:
