Readiness code, generating: Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, 2003 Volkswagen Jetta, 2003 Volkswagen Golf, and 2002 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect diagnostic tester, see CONNECT DIAGNOSTIC TESTER .
- Perform a road test.
The following operating condition must be met during this road test:
- Coolant temperature must reach at least 80 °C, see DIAGNOSTIC MODE 1: CHECK MEASURED VALUES ; PID 5, Coolant temperature.
Observe the safety precautions that apply to road tests. See SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .
Let vehicle cool off with the ignition switched off until the following condition is met:
- Coolant temperature approx. intake air temperature (5 to 35 °C), see DIAGNOSTIC MODE 1: CHECK MEASURED VALUES ; PID 5, Coolant temperature.
- Continue vehicle road test:
The following operating conditions must be met during this road test:
- Accelerate vehicle uniformly, not at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
- Drive for 10 minutes in the highest gear or in the highest driving mode on a level driving surface at a constant speed in the range of 65 to 80 km/h at an engine speed of 2000 to 2500 RPM.NOTE:
- Vehicle speed, see DIAGNOSTIC MODE 1: CHECK MEASURED VALUES ; PID 13, Vehicle speed.
- Engine speed, see DIAGNOSTIC MODE 1: CHECK MEASURED VALUES ; PID 12, engine rotations per minute (RPM).
- After 10 minutes, downshift until an engine speed of 2800 to 3500 RPM has been reached.
- Drive in deceleration mode at a speed up to approx. 1800 RPM.
- Park vehicle and let engine run at idle for 3 minutes.
- Accelerator pedal must not be operated during this time.
- Continue vehicle road test:
The following operating conditions must be met during this road test:
- Accelerate vehicle uniformly, not at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
- Drive for 10 minutes in the highest gear or in the highest driving mode on a level driving surface at a constant speed in the range of 65 to 80 km/h at an engine speed of 2000 to 2500 RPM.
- Park vehicle and let engine run at idle for 3 minutes.
- Accelerator pedal must not be operated during this time.
- Read readiness code, see READ READINESS CODE .
If a 1 is displayed instead of a 0 in the 8-digit number block:
- Perform a road test anew.
The following operating conditions must be met during this road test:

- Park vehicle and let run at idle for 3 minutes.
- Accelerator pedal must not be operated during this time.
- Read readiness code, see READ READINESS CODE .
In 8-digit number block:
- Display position 5: Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system
and/or
- Display position 6: EVAP canister system
a 1 instead of 0 is displayed:
- Repeat complete procedure, see PROCEDURE
