So I have this code on my 2001 Allroad 2.7T (551L base file):

16815 - Warm Up Catalyst; Bank 2
            P0431 - 35-00 - Efficiency Below Threshold

Reading the S4 tuning wiki, it says you can numb the sensitivity and possibly get rid of the code using the following -
AHKATMN (0x18672)
AHKATMX (0x18673)
AHKATS (0x18674)

But not much is said about how to change these values.  I'm assuming these are 8bit scalars (since they are not defined in my XDF), does anyone know the conversion factor?  Should I be adjusting these values up or down to reduce sensitivity?  What's a good increment to adjust them in?

You can always look at one of the fully defined defs (551G, 551F etc.) for this information:

Ok, that answers half of the question.  Thanks.  I didn't realize the addresses would be the same for those files.

Any suggestions on how to adjust these values?  Up, down?  Suggested increments?

Not the addresses, those change. But the factor (and scalar bitwidth, etc.) is usually the same.

Wouldn't it make sense to decrease MIN but increase MAX?

Disclaimer: I have not adjusted any of these parameters in my file.

If MN is min and MX is max...
What are S and SB?

The sums of each sensor in a stereo system.

MX, S, SB=FF

I have never lowered MN.

I suggest reading the FR. My info is my interpretation. It might not always be correct.

I definitely want to dig deeper and learn as much as I can, but right now it's just about getting the car running decent.

Looks like that worked... warm-up cat code has not returned.
