= Readiness Test (UDS only) =
* This Tech Tip demonstrates how to perform the [Automatic test sequence] for UDS-based Engine Control Modules (ECMs) using VCDS.
* Basic Setting performs the required Readiness Tests on modern VW/Audi vehicles equipped with UDS protocol engine controllers.
* Use of this procedure is typically for after repairs or component replacement affecting emissions-related systems, or after clearing DTCs.
==== Special Tools ====
* VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System)
==== Prerequisites ====
* Engine must be running
* All electrical consumers OFF (A/C, headlights, rear defrost, seat heaters, etc.)
* No active Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) – Clear all fault codes prior to starting the test
* Engine coolant temperature must be at least 80°C (176°F)
* <span style="color:red;">Must be performed outside or in a well vented area only!</span>
==== Workshop Procedure with VCDS ====
* Connect to the vehicle using VCDS.
* Go to '''[01 - Engine]'''
* Check for and clear any fault codes.
* Click on the '''[Basic Settings]''' button.
* Select '''[Automatic test sequence]''' or '''[Automatic test procedure]''' from the available list.
* Click on the '''[Show Measuring Data]''' checkbox and include the following Measuring Values:
  {| class="wikitable"
  |-
  ! Measuring Value !! Description
  |-
  | IDE00450 || '''Operating Instructions''' – ''Follow all prompts provided here''
  |-
  | IDE00451 || '''Currently Running Routine''' – ''Indicates the test currently in progress''
  |-
  | IDE00030 || '''Status of Actuator Test''' – ''Displays overall status of test procedure''
  |-
  | IDE00727 || '''Test Steps Still to Be Performed''' – ''Should count down to 0 when complete''
  |-
  | IDE00021 || '''Engine Speed''' – ''Follow any required RPM prompts shown in Operating Instructions''
  |-
  | IDE00025 || '''Coolant Temperature''' – ''Should be at or above 80°C before beginning''
  |}
* Click the '''[Go]''' button to begin the Basic Setting procedure.
* When prompted, '''press and hold both the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously.''' Keep them pressed until the test finishes.
* When the test completes successfully, the '''IDE00450 [Operating Instructions]''' field will display: 
  ''''System OK''''  or  ''''Finished correctly''''
==== Special Notes ====
# The duration of the Automatic Test Sequence may vary depending on vehicle platform and engine type.
# If the sequence fails or does not complete, verify that all prerequisites are met, especially coolant temperature and fault-free status.
# This function is only available in UDS-based engine control modules. Non-UDS controllers use a different Readiness procedure, see Repair Manual.
# If the [Go] button is grayed out or unavailable, ensure that the engine is running and that the selected test is supported by the ECU.
