Mode 2:
- Transfer operating conditions (Switch ignition on or let engine idle.)
Mode 3:
- Check DTC memory (Switch ignition on or let engine idle.)
Mode 4:
- Erase diagnosis information (Switch ignition on or let engine idle.)
Mode 5:
- Output of HO2S signals (Switch ignition on or let engine idle.)
Mode 6:
- Read test results; starting with control module 8D0 906 266 A (Switch ignition on or let engine idle.)

NOTES:
- Under address word 33, Mode 1 to Mode 5 can be selected starting from control module 8D0 906 266 and Mode 1 to Mode 7 starting from control module 8D0 906 266 A.
- Individual measuring values can be read under Mode 1. This is not recommended for Audi service department since this information is available more easily under address word 01, function 04 and/or function 08.
- Mode 2 shows the operating conditions under which a malfunction was recognized.
- Mode 3 is used to check the DTC memory and Mode 4 is used to erase the DTC memory. In the Audi service department, only address word 01, function should be used to erase, since with Mode 4 the DTC memory is erased immediately even if it was not checked first.
- Static variables of HO2S probes, required by legal regulations, are displayed under Mode 5. Since these variables have no direct relationship to HO2S diagnosis, Mode 5 is not needed by the Audi service department.
- Mode 6 is used to read all test results from components and systems that are NOT continuously monitored.
- Mode 7 is used to read test results of components and systems that are continuously monitored.
