Post by fletchie55 » Sat Feb 10, 2007 10:46 pm

I have run a fault code scan on the S4 B5 and got some stuff back that doesnt realy mean a lot to me, does anyone have a list of the codes, and what they actually mean in plain english?

for example what does key 1 adaption limit surpassed mean? or alarm triggered by terminal 15? what is terminal 15?!

im sure there is something on this site somewhere, but I can never find anything using the search!

thanks in advance

what does key 1 adaption limit surpassed mean
It means your central locking system hasn't seen this key in a while and it *may* be necessary to re-synch it.
alarm triggered by terminal 15?
It means the terminal 15 turned on without the alarm having been properly disarmed first.
what is terminal 15?!
Terminal 15 is switched power (this is a DIN or ISO standard).

Bosch has a lot of good literature that explains how stuff works:
