Transmission Control Module (TCM) recognition of malfunctions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1995 Volkswagen Jetta III, 1995 Volkswagen Golf III, 1995 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1994 Volkswagen Jetta III, and 1994 Volkswagen Golf III. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a malfunction exists for a certain time, it is stored as a static malfunction. A malfunction that is recognized but does not occur again within a certain time or distance is stored as a "sporadic malfunction."

Malfunctions that are stored in DTC Memory as sporadic malfunctions will be displayed as such when retrieved by the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST). In such cases, the letters "SP" appear on the right side of the Scan Tool display. If the printer is switched on, "sporadic DTC" is printed out after the malfunction is addressed.

Malfunctions that are stored in DTC Memory as sporadic malfunctions are automatically erased after 1,000 km (600 miles) or 20 hours.
