01 – Self-diagnosis
01-1 Self-diagnosis for con-

venience system
Notes concerning self-diagnosis for con-

venience system
The central control unit for convenience system -J393- is
located above the accelerator pedal in the dash panel. It
is clipped into the bracket on the heating housing. The di-
agnostic connector is located behind the storage tray un-
der the light switch.
Removing and installing the control unit for convenience
system ⇒ Chap. 70-1.
Initiate self-diagnosis at the start of fault finding and inter-
rogate the fault memory with diagnostic device
-V.A.G 1552- or -V.A.G 1551- or -VAS 5052-.
Note
♦ The description which follows relates to the vehicle
system tester -V.A.G 1552- using program card -6.0-
(and higher version).
♦ The use of fault read-out scan tool -V.A.G 1551- with
program card -9.0- (and later version) is almost iden-
tical except for specific deviations (e.g. other display,
possibility of using a printer etc.).
♦ To end the output or to switch to another address se-
lect function 06 „End output“.
WARNING!
When replacing the central control unit for the con-
venience system or the alarm system with an inde-
pendent power supply disconnect the power
supply for at least 30 sec. in order to allow the
alarm to be adapted. If necessary, disconnect the
communication cable.
The convenience system can be adapted to the customer

wish ⇒ Chapter 01-4.
Types and description of convenience

system
Two different systems of databus cables are used in the
convenience system:
♦ for vehicles manufactured until 07.2004 the CAN dat-
abus cable
♦ for vehicles manufactured as of 08.2004 the LIN dat-
abus cable
The difference is the operation of the window control,
the fault tables, the measured value blocks and the
coding of the control unit.
Edition 01.05 Self-diagnosis for convenience system 01-1 page 1

S00.5319.15.20
In case of repairs or self-diagnosis of the conven-

ience system first the system of the communication
cable must be defined. This is detected by means of
the connection of the diagnostic device and by entry
of the address word 46 „Central module convenience
system“ ⇒ 01-1 page 4.
Convenience system with CAN databus cable

The convenience system comprises the electric equip-
ment in the doors:
♦ electrical central locking system with SAFE function
♦ power-window lifter with jamming protection
♦ electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirror
It also comprises other systems in the vehicle:

♦ Cut-off delay for interior lamp
♦ Monitoring and disconnection of all interior and lug-
gage compartment lights as a battery discharge pro-
tection
♦ Sliding roof closing function via outside closing com-
mand
♦ Radio control for anti-theft alarm system and central
locking
♦ the optical Safe function indicator (is a LED mounted
in the door equipment of the driver's door)
The system comprises the control unit for conven-
ience system and control units in the individual
doors whose communication between each other is
performed via the CAN databus cable. The communi-
cation between the central control unit for conven-
ience system and other electrical systems in the
vehicle is performed via the CAN databus cable.
The control unit for convenience system detects
faults in the convenience system (including faults at
control units in the individual doors) and stores them
in a permanent memory.
The displayed fault messages refer to a fault table includ-
ing indications on the possible causes as well as targeted
repairs.
Faults due to a temporary line interruption or loose con-
tact are also stored. These faults are displayed as spo-
radic faults „SP“.
Convenience system with LIN databus cable

The convenience system comprises the electric equip-
ment in the doors:
♦ electrical central locking system with SAFE function
♦ power-window lifter with jamming protection
It also comprises other systems in the vehicle:
01-1 page 2 Self-diagnosis for convenience system Edition 01.05

S00.5319.15.20
♦ Sliding roof closing function via outside closing com-
mand
♦ Radio control for anti-theft alarm system and central
locking
♦ the optical Safe function indicator (is a LED mounted
in the door equipment of the driver's door)
The system comprises the control unit for conven-
ience system. Its communication with other electrical
systems in the vehicle is performed via the CAN dat-
abus cable.
Control units are also located in the individual doors,
which however only operate the window lifters. Their
communication is performed via the LIN databus ca-
ble.
The LIN databus cable is not self-diagnostic with any
diagnostic device. This cable consists of an inde-
pendent electrical circuit, which has no connection
to other electrical systems in the vehicle.
The control unit for convenience system detects
faults in the convenience system (including faults in
the individual doors relating to the lock) and stores
them in a permanent memory. The faults relating to
the window control can be stored in the fault memory
of the convenience system.
WARNING!
If the window control is restricted or fully non-op-
erational, proceed according to „functionality of
individual windows“ ⇒ Chap. 01-3, Fault table LIN
databus/control units for window control in the in-
dividual doors. This table is used for the diagnosis
of faults from the LIN databus.

Note
♦ Below is a list of all possible faults detected by the
central control unit for convenience system -J393- and
displayed on -V.A.G 1552 -, arranged according to
their 5-digit fault code.
♦ SAE code, may be displayed on the right next to the
fault number (e.g. 4214), ignore.
♦ If „Info in literature“ appears in the display of the vehi-
cle system tester, look for the text required in the fault
table under the fault code.
♦ After repair always interrogate the fault memory using
vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- and erase the
memory.
♦ If parts are output as faulty: First check all cables and
connectors to these components as well as the earth
connections according to the Current Flow Diagram.
Then check whether all plug connections are properly
plugged into the relay plate. Replace the component
only if this test does not reveal any fault. This applies
in particular if faults are shown as „sporadic“ (SP).

Fault table of LIN databus/control units

for window control in the individual
doors
The table is used for determining faults of LIN data-
bus (interruption or short circuit), if the window con-
trol is restricted or fully non-operational.
Possible faults in the system of the window control
with LIN databus cable:
S00.5319.15.20
In the convenience sytem with LIN databus cable (win-

dow control) 5 fault conditions must be distinguished:
♦ Short circuit of LIN databus to earth or positive
♦ No communication from control unit for window con-
trol/driver door (problems with transmission or recep-
tion wiring or databus interruption between CU for
window control/driver door and CU for window control/
other doors).
trol/front passenger door (problems with transmission
or reception wiring or databus interruption between
CU for window control/front passenger and CU for
window control/other doors).
trol/door RL (problems with transmission or reception
wiring or databus interruption between CU for window
control/door RL and CU for window control/other
doors).
trol/door RR (problems with transmission or reception
wiring or databus interruption between CU for window
control/door RR and CU for window control/other
doors).
In case of fault finding (window control restricted or
fully non-operational) it is required:
• To disconnect battery for more than 30 seconds.

• To deactivate child safety locks (must be inactive).
• To close front doors (door contact switch in position
disconnected).
• To switch on ignition.
• To initialise all windows (if possible).
Note
♦ If the battery is disconnected and reconnected, carry
out additional operations ⇒ Electrical System;
Rep. Gr. 27.
♦ All the possible faults which can occur during the com-
munication among the control units for window control
in the individual doors are listed below.

♦ Full function: The control unit performs all operations of window control completely.
♦ Limited function: The control unit performs all operations of the window control except automatic lift/lower lift mech-
anism.
♦ Emergency operation function: If there is no communication between the control unit and other control units, the
window control only functions by means of a button on the relevant door without jamming protection. After 10 min-
utes the control unit switches over to „No operation“.
♦ No operation: The control unit without operation and without communication with other control units. By resetting
the control unit for more than 30 seconds, the control unit switches over to „emergency operation function“.
Resetting of the relevant door control unit is performed by disconnecting the plug connection at the relevant
control unit for more than 30 seconds (voltage interruption).
Resetting of all door control units is performed by disconnecting the vehicle battery for more than 30 sec-

01-5 Self-diagnosis for Airbag

System I
Function of the airbag system

The airbag System comprises:
♦ Airbag control unit
♦ Sensors for side impact
♦ Driver airbag
♦ Front passenger airbag
♦ Driver and front passenger side airbags
♦ Belt tensioners for driver and front passenger
♦ Key switch for the front passenger seat airbag (special
accessory for vehicles of model year 03) ³
Depending on the vehicle equipment and control unit
used ⇒ 01-5 page 5 the vehicles may be fitted with:
♦ electronically activated belt tensioners 1)

♦ mechanically activated belt tensioners 2)
If programmed values are exceeded the airbag CU

-J234- activates the release of the airbag units and belt
tensioners.
The operation of the airbag units can be activated or
blocked via the self-diagnosis ⇒ Chapter 01-7.
The switching on and off operations are undertaken by
means of the key switch for the front passenger airbag if
the vehicle is fitted with such a key switch.
If the airbag units on the front passenger side are deacti-
vated, faults relating to airbag deactivation are stored in
the fault memory and, after the airbag units are subse-
quently re-activated, the faults are automatically erased
from the fault memory (only for vehicles which do not
have a key switch for the front passenger airbags).
When igniting the driver and front passenger front airbags
with belt tensioners the fault „crash data stored“ is en-
tered in the fault memory and the control unit must be re-
placed with a new original part.
If the control unit detects a side impact it ignites the side
airbag unit and the belt tensioner on the impact side. The
fault „crash data side airbag DS stored“ or „crash data
side airbag FPS stored“ is entered in the fault memory.
These data can be erased 3x at the most, after which the
control unit must be replaced with a new original part.
If the vehicle is equipped with mechanical belt tensioners,
these belt tensioners are ignited independently of the sig-
nal from the airbag CU -J234-.
Code the new CU when it is first put into service ⇒ 01-5
page 8.
1) Inspected by self-diagnosis; ignited by the airbag control unit -J234-.

2) Not inspected by self-diagnosis; ignited independently of the airbag control unit -J234-.
Edition 01.05 Self-diagnosis for Airbag System I 01-5 page 1

S00.5319.15.20
If airbag units or belt tensioners are ignited, the airbag CU

sends a crash signal to the electrical system control unit.
When the airbag unit is released:
♦ all doors are unlocked
♦ the interior lighting is switched on
♦ the hazard warning system is activated
♦ the fuel pump is deactivated
♦ the electrical steering force assistance is switched off
Check the control unit signal using actuator diagnosis

⇒ 01-5 page 6.
The control unit of airbag -J234- is located in the front
section of the centre console.
The control unit -J234- detects faults and malfunctions in
the airbag system and stores them in the fault memory.
Faults due to a temporary line interruption or loose con-
tact are also stored. These faults are displayed as spo-
radic faults „SP“.
After the ignition is switched on, the airbag warning light
-K75- comes on for about 4 seconds. If the warning light
then flashes for a further 12 seconds this indicates that
the front passenger airbag unit has been electronically
blocked (only for vehicles which do not have a key switch
for the front passenger airbag).
♦ If warning lamp -K75- does not go out after 4 seconds
there is a fault. Interrogate the fault memory ⇒ 01-5
page 6. Erase fault memory after fault elimination
⇒ 01-5 page 7.
♦ If the warning lamp -K75- remains lit the airbag control
unit -J234- is not coded. The airbag control unit -J234-
must be coded ⇒ 01-5 page 8.
Initiate self-diagnosis at the start of fault finding and inter-
rogate the fault memory using the diagnostic device
-V.A.G 1552-, -V.A.G 1551- or -VAS 5051-.
Faults in other control units may be stored (e.g. discon-
nected plug connections) during testing and fitting. This is
why the fault memories of all control units must be inter-
rogated and then erased.
Therefore it is necessary to:
– Enter address word 00 „Automatic Test Sequence“.

Vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- checks the fault
memory of all vehicle systems.
– If the corresponding CU responds with its identifica-
tion number, the number of faults and type or „No fault
recognized“ appears in the display.
– Eliminate possible faults and erase fault memory.

If airbag units or belt tensioners are ignited, the airbag CU
sends a crash signal to the electrical system control unit.
When the airbag unit is released:
♦ all doors are unlocked
♦ the interior lighting is switched on
♦ the hazard warning system is activated
♦ the fuel pump is deactivated
The following conditions must be fulfilled to initiate

the final control diagnosis:
• Vehicle locked
• Interior lighting switch must be on door contact posi-
tion
• Hazard warning system deactivated
• Start engine
Readout on display: 03 Actuator diagnosis
Readout on display: Crash signal
The airbag control unit -J234- sends a „crash signal“ to
the electrical system control unit. Once the signal has
been sent:
• the engine stalls

01-6 Self-diagnosis for airbag

system II
DANGER!
Check correct fitting and tightness of the wiring
and plug connections with the ignition off (also
possibly disconnect the plug connections).
Before disconnecting the airbag plug connections
the mechanic must „electrically discharge him-
self“!
Do not perform any continuity tests or other meas-
urements on the ignition circuits with the airbags
and belt tensioners connected! Perform a visual in-
spection of the cable guides only!
Do not perform any electrical continuity tests or
other measurements on the connectors for airbag
or belt tensioner!
For rectifying faults or determining the cause of
the fault, always end self-diagnosis and then re-
start it again before separating and re-connecting
the individual airbag components!
Only the front passenger airbags can be locked
⇒ Chapter 01-7. Locking of the other airbag units
and the belt tightener must only be undertaken in
exceptional circumstances and then only by writ-
ten permission of the PST department (Czech Re-
public) or the importer.
When checking the electrical wiring loom for air-
bag system for short-circuit or open circuit the air-
bag or belt tensioner plug connections must be
separated and switch off the ignition and discon-
nect the battery to check the airbag control unit.
When removing and installing seat belts observe
the safety instructions for work on belt tensioners
⇒ Chapter 69-1!
When removing and installing the airbag units ob-
serve the safety instructions for work on airbag
units ⇒ Chapter 69-3!
If the battery earth strap is disconnected and con-
nected, carry out additional operations

Parts inspection with test box

-VAS 5056-
With test box -VAS 5056- and the corresponding adapter
cable it is possible to inspect the individual components
of the airbag system and thereby determine which com-
ponents are indeed defective.
Note
♦ Observe safety instructions for working with airbag
units ⇒ 01-6 page 1 and also ⇒ Chapter 69-3.
♦ It is also possible to check the cable harness and plug
connections in the airbag system without test box
-VAS 5056-, in which case you must:
♦ Disconnect battery. If the battery earth strap is discon-
nected and connected, carry out additional operations
♦ Unplug the relevant airbag unit or belt tensioner.
♦ Unplug the cable harness of the airbag system from
the airbag control unit -J234-.
♦ Check cable for open circuit or short-circuit, and pos-
sibly eliminate faults or replace cable harness.
♦ If no fault is found in the cable, replace the relevant
airbag unit or belt tensioner.

S00.5319.15.20
♦ The cause of the display readout „too small“ may be

the incorrect function of the „short-circuit bridge“ in the
plug connection of the connected airbag unit.
♦ The cause of the display readout „too large“ may be
an incorrect plug connection, e.g.„contact resistance“
in the plug connection of the connected airbag unit.

ing airbag units (adapta-
tion)
The control unit for the airbag allows locking (deactiva-
tion) of all airbag units and the electronically actuated belt
tightener.
Blocking passenger airbag units ⇒ 01-7 page 1.
Locking of the other airbag units and the belt tightener
must only be undertaken in exceptional circumstances
and then only by written permission of the PST depart-
ment (Czech Republic) or the importer.
Deactivating and activating passenger-

side airbag units (adaptation)
It is then necessary to deactivate the front airbag unit if it
is intended to use a child seat on the front passenger seat
in which the child faces with its back to the direction of
travel.
In certain countries, national legislation requires also de-
activating the side airbags.
In certain countries, national legislation necessitates de-
activating the front, if necessary the side airbags, no mat-
ter which type of child seat is used.
The front passenger airbag must be activated again as
soon as the child seat is no longer required.
DANGER!
Deactivation of the passenger-side airbag units
must comply with the legal requirements and regu-
lations of the country concerned!
Pay attention to safety precautions regarding re-
pairs to airbag system ⇒ Chapter 69-3!
For vehicles without a switch for airbags

Blocking is undertaken using the diagnostic device
-V.A.G 1552- or -V.A.G 1551- or -VAS 5051-.
It is necessary to complete the „registration card for air-
bag systems/belt tensioner“ each time the passenger-
side airbag unit is deactivated (switched off) and each
time it is re-activated. The original document remains in
the Service Department, the 1st copy is sent to the ŠKO-

The blocking and activation of the airbag unit on the front
passenger's side must älso be recorded in the Service
Schedule.
The specified stickers must be affixed on the dash panel
in the front passenter area above the „AIRBAG“ logo dur-
ing the entire period that the passenger-side airbag units
are deactivated. These stickers are intended to draw the
Edition 01.05 Deactivating and activating airbag units (adaptation) 01-7 page 1

attention of the occupants to the fact that the passenger-

side airbag units have been deactivated.
For vehicles with a switch for airbags
For vehicles MY 03 ³, which are fitted with the key switch
for airbags, the switching on and off of the front airbag or
also the side airbag on the front passenger side is per-
formed by means of the key switch in the glove compart-
ment. The driver can only operate the key switch with the
ignition key when the ignition is switched off. Switching off
the front and also possibly the side airbag on the front
passenger side (if installed in the vehicle) is signalised by
a warning lamp in the middle part of the dash panel.
Switching off of the airbags using the key switch does not
have to be registered or entered into the service sched-
ule.
Blocking and activating airbag units on the front

passenger side (for vehicles without a switch for
airbags)
Blocking is undertaken using the vehicle system tester
-V.A.G 1552- in the function mode 10 „Adaptation“ using
the corresponding channels.

After the front passenger side airbag units have been dis-
abled, the warning light -K75- comes on at first for about
4 seconds after the ignition is switched on, and then
flashes for about 12 seconds. This indicates that an igni-
tion circuit is deactivated.
If the airbag units are deactivated, faults relating to airbag
deactivation are stored in the fault memory and, after the
airbag units are subsequently re-activated, the faults in
the fault memory are automatically erased.

The window lifter, door lock and loudspeaker are fitted to
the assembly carrier.
The door lock can only be removed together with the as-
sembly carrier.
The assembly carrier can only be removed if the door
window is detached from the window lifter. To this end
lower the door window down to the mounting hole in the
assembly carrier and remove the straddling dowel.
One must first determine the exact cause of the fault
should it be impossible to lower the door window using
power-window control.
To do so use vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552- to inter-
rogate the fault memory of the convenience system (ad-
dress word 46) ⇒ Chapter 01-1.
In the event of an electrical fault, first correct that fault.
Should it appear that the window lifter motor is the cause
of the fault, unscrew it from the assembly carrier.
Removing
– Removing the door handle ⇒ 58-1 page 3.
– Unscrew bolts -1-.
– Remove assembly carrier ⇒ 58-1 page 6 and take
out together with the door lock.
– Remove door lock from assembly carrier.
Installing
– Pull out the control lever -1- in the direction of the ar-
row.
– Using a screwdriver tension the spring fitted to the
door lock -2- in the direction of the arrow and hook the
lock lever to the spring.
Note
The lock is blocked once the control lever is hooked on.
This prevents the Bowden cable from being „incorrectly“
clipped at a later stage.

69-2 Inspecting seat belts
WARNING!
The seat belt system must be inspected after every
accident! If one of the inspection points reveals
any damage inform the customer that the seat
belts must be replaced.
Inspection points:
♦ Check seat belt
♦ Check inertia reel (locking rate)
♦ Seat belt buckle - Visual inspection
♦ Seat belt buckle - Operating test
♦ Check deflection fitting and buckle latch
♦ Check fixing parts and fixing points
♦ Check lap belt inertia reel
Note
Make a special note should the customer refuse to have
a damaged seat belt replaced.
Checks
Check seat belt

– Completely unreel the seat belt from the inertia reel or
from the lap belt adjusting strip.
– Check seat belt for:
• Soiling, if necessary wash with a mild detergent.
• Torn fraying on the edge of the belt.
• Cuts, tears or chafing spots.
• Cigarette burn stains or holes etc.
If a vehicle involved in an accident displays any of the

above damage, the seat belt and buckle must be com-
pletely replaced with a new original part.
Checking inertia reel (locking rate)

The inertia reel has two locking functions.
♦ The first locking function is activated when the belt is
drawn rapidly out of the inertia reel (belt withdrawal
acceleration).
Test
– Withdraw the seat belt from the inertia reel with a

forceful sudden motion.
Edition 11.99 Inspecting seat belts 69-2 page 1

S00.5319.01.20
• No locking effect - replace seat belt together with

buckle with a new original part.
• First check whether the withdrawal and retracting of
the belt is smooth or whether the position of the inertia
reel has changed.
• The second locking function is activated by a change
in the vehicle's motion (vehicle-dependent locking
function).
Test
– Put on seat belt.

– Accelerate to 20 km/h and perform a full brake with the
brake pedal.
• Replace the seat belt and buckle with a new original

part if the locking device does not lock the belt during
braking.
WARNING!
For safety reasons carry out this road test on a
section with no traffic so as not to endanger other
road users.
Seat belt buckle - Visual inspection

– Check belt buckle for fractures and flaking.
• In the event of damage - replace seat belt together
with buckle with a new original part.
Seat belt buckle - Operating test

Check seat belt buckle:
– Insert buckle latch in the belt buckle until a click is

heard. Check the locking of the lock mechanism by
forcefully tugging at the seat belt.
• Replace the seat belt and buckle with a new orginal

part even if the buckle latch fails to lock in the buckle
only once out of at least five tests.
Check release:
– Release seat belt by pressing the seat belt buckle but-

ton.
– If the belt is loose the latch must eject independently
from the belt buckle.
• Test at least 5 times. Replace the seat belt and buckle

with a new original part if the buckle latch fails to eject
just once.
WARNING!
Never use lubricants to eliminate noises or to
smoothen the operation of the buttons on seat
buckles.
69-2 page 2 Inspecting seat belts Edition 11.99

S00.5319.01.20
Check deflection fitting and buckle latch
When the belt system is burdened (seat belt attached in
an accident) plastic-coated fittings will display fine paral-
lel score marks. (Normal wear and tear due to frequent
use is recognisable by a stripe-free smooth abrasion).
– Check plastic for deformation, flaking and cracking.

• In the event of scoring and/or damage replace seat
belt and buckle with a new original part.
Check fixing parts and fixing points

♦ Buckle flanges deformed (extended)
♦ Height adjuster does not work
♦ Fixing points (seat, pillar, vehicle floor) warped or
thread damaged
• If the parts are damaged replace seat belt and buckle

with a new original part.
• Replace fixing points with a new original part.
Note
In the event of damage not resulting from an accident,
e.g. wear and tear, it is only necessary to replace the
damaged part with a new original part.
