Fault Codes
« on: August 17, 2014, 11:45:38 am »
Hi All,

I scanned my car this morning and the below fault codes appeared. I cleared all codes but they came back again. I have no warning lights or issues with the car so wondered what these may be:

01-Engine -- Status: Malfunction 0010
08-Auto HVAC -- Status: Malfunction 0010
09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010

01-Engine -- Status: Malfunction 0010
008801 - Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249)
               P2261 - 000 - Mechanical Malfunction
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Status: 01110000
                    Fault Priority: 0
                    Fault Frequency: 1
                    Reset counter: 255
                    Mileage: 107482 km
                    Time Indication: 0
                    Date: 2000.00.00
                    Time: 16:34:35
             Freeze Frame:
                    RPM: 2675 /min
                    Load: 59.6 %
                    Speed: 68.0 km/h
                    Temperature: 88.0°C
                    Temperature: 27.0°C
                    Absolute Pres.: 990.0 mbar
                    Voltage: 13.970 V
Readiness: 0000 0000

08-Auto HVAC -- Status: Malfunction 0010
00229 - Refrigerant Pressure
            002 - Lower Limit Exceeded

09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010
00924 - Relay for Headlamp Cleaning System (J39)
            009 - Open or Short to Ground
02390 - Control / Regulation for Ambience Lighting (E400)
            009 - Open or Short to Ground

Also maybe I am being stupid but noticed the Mileage said 107482 on the Engine malfunction and then on the other 2 for 08 and 09 it said 107588. So why the big difference if this is recording the mileage of the car and also my actual mileage is 66652 so am I getting this wrong as if not this is a worry.

Thanks luke,

I have just checked ross tech which explains most of the faults but not much info on how to check these things

Ignore the Mileage question as was looking at the km and comparing to miles  :stupid:

01-Engine -- Status: Malfunction 0010
08-Auto HVAC -- Status: Malfunction 0010
09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010

01-Engine -- Status: Malfunction 0010 - So as Luke mentioned may be a divertor valve or connections so possible trip to garage
008801 - Boost Pressure Control Valve (N249)
               P2261 - 000 - Mechanical Malfunction
             Freeze Frame:
                    Fault Status: 01110000
                    Fault Priority: 0
                    Fault Frequency: 1
                    Reset counter: 255
                    Mileage: 107482 km
                    Time Indication: 0
                    Date: 2000.00.00

             Freeze Frame:
                    RPM: 2675 /min
                    Load: 59.6 %
                    Speed: 68.0 km/h
                    Temperature: 88.0°C
                    Temperature: 27.0°C
                    Absolute Pres.: 990.0 mbar
                    Voltage: 13.970 V
Readiness: 0000 0000

08-Auto HVAC -- Status: Malfunction 0010 - So Aircon is not working properly so was taking it into the garage to get this checked
00229 - Refrigerant Pressure
            002 - Lower Limit Exceeded

09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010
00924 - Relay for Headlamp Cleaning System (J39) - Put a 20A fuse in no 36 on dash fuse panel as none there and code now cleared
            009 - Open or Short to Ground
02390 - Control / Regulation for Ambience Lighting (E400) - SO changed the following on VCDS and this fault now gone - Byte 02/bit 4: coming home mode via personalization - UNMARK (0) and Byte 23/bit 5: coming home logic MARK
            009 - Open or Short to Ground
