During a test drive with the V.A.G 1551 scan tool or tester VAS 5051 connected and in "Diagnosis" 
or "Measured value block", there is no ABS or ESP regulation. The ABS or ESP warning lights will 
flash. The OBD of ABS control module (w/EDL) -J104- is terminated when a speed of 20 km/h (13 
mph) is exceeded.

NOTE:

All functions that have so far been carried out with V.A.G 1551 can now 
also be carried out with the tester VAS 5051.
