VW ABS CODING

VOLKSWAGEN ABS DIAGNOSTICS

Using a code reader or  diagnostic tester to view your VW Polo ECU data is quite a treat and is also really cool. A view of the data just exudes the growth of motor vehicle technology in general and it is quite humbling if you are electronically minded and quite intimidating if you are mechanically minded.  However there is often the temptation to change a number or something, just to see what happens to your Volkswagen. If you are one of those people who just did that, I bet you have a wistful regret, wishing that you never did so in the first place because you got yourself a "01044 control module incorrectly coded error." Or perhaps you  swapped a 1996 VR6 engine into a 2007 MkV GTI chassis and got a "01044 control module incorrectly coded error." Or you had your car serviced and the ABS and ESP light stays on in the instrument panel and showing up as a "01044 control module incorrectly coded error."  Or you cleared that nagging airbag light on your VW Beetle, only to get a "01044 control module incorrectly coded error."

Control modules codings are normally NOT interchangeable since virtually every model among the numerous versions of  VW's  each have a different ABS/ESP module, Power Assisted Steerin Module, Climate control Module,  Instrument Module, Immobilizer Module and Engine Control Module and so many other modules. Taking this into consideration,  it is more than  obvious that one should NEVER copy coding from a different model VW, AUDI, SKODA or SEAT and paste it into your own Volkswagen, AUDI, SKODA or SEAT, unless you write down your original modules original coding so that you can revert back to it later, should things appear to go pear shaped. 

However if the two VW, AUDI, SKODA, or SEAT are the same in every respect, then  their module codings will be identical and therefore perfectly fine to use. Be particular about the module suffix since different suffixes signify different software versions which may not be compatible to your VAG car. Virtually each module that appears identical but has different letter suffixes will invariable have a different coding. So the rule is same car, same module, same module number, same module suffice, same coding. Disregarding this could incapacitate your car and cost you a huge amount of money.

Every Control module coding is stored as an onboard binary number, which in essence is the binary sum of the features for that specific module. Whereas the ECU also stores an onboard binary number which is the binary sum of all the Control Modules fitted in the car. This binary sum is called the checksum and any incorrectly coded  module will result in an erroneous checksum. If this is the case, the erroneous checksum is compared to a reference checksum also stored in the ECU module and any discrepancy could incapacitate your Volkswagen completely or present you with some peculiarities and error codes to match. Like the notorius 01044 control module incorrectly coded.  Checksum verification was adopted by BOSCH Motronic ECUs to validate its EPROM's stored data. Having said that, it is wise not to change the coding or replace any control modules in your VW AUDI, SKODA or SEAT unless you are au fait with binary and hexadecimal number systems. 

Below, is a list of VW ABS controllers and their respective coding which vary from  'ABS FRONT MK60 0101' to  'ABS 8.0 front H03 0002' to 'ABS 8.0 front H05 0002' to 'ABS 5.7 FRONT V20' to 'ABS 5.7 FRONT V30 ' to 'ABS/ASR 5.7 FRONT V20' to 'ABS 5.7 FRONT V00' to 'ESP 8.0 front H03 0001' to 'MABS 8.0 front  H04 0002' to 'ESP 8.0 front H03 0001' to 'ABS 8.0 front H03 0002' to mention but a few. Several VW, AUDI, SKODA and SEAT owners and mechanics are constantly searching the Internet for ABS module coding and hopefully this information may help them to get their Volkswagens, Skodas, Seats,  Audis and other VAG cars up and running once again.

VW POLO DIAGNOSTICS

VW DIAGNOSTICS

After I completed all the minor repairs (as can be seen in my previous blog) to my VW Polo 2.0L Highline she finally went for her 90 000 kms service. But hardly did I get her back when I heard a very soft and occasional "ting, ting, ting" coming from the right front wheel. The sound was difficult to identify at first, not even the auto service technicians at the center could hear it. I found that the wheel had a few millimeters of sideways play when I jacked-up the VW Polo. This prompted me to check all the nuts & bolts and I found the nut on the tie-rod end to be loose. After tightening it, the sideways play was cured. However, it didn't cure the soft, occasional and irritating  "ting, ting, ting."  Twice thereafter I had the wheel off but found nothing out of the ordinary. Anyway I suspect its the right right hand side CV joint that is starting to go but it kind seems strange that a CV joint should give up the ghost round about 90 000 kms, its just way too early.

The tough smart VW Amarok Double Cab.

The 2.0L VW Polo right hand side drive shaft is very different from that of its siblings, it is much thicker and the spline that the hub slides onto, is much coarser that any other VW Polo. This drive shaft is an agents only item and its not cheap and to replace it by substitution to get rid of the occasional "ting" is a bit extravagant. My VW Polo is a very different beast from the rest of the VW Polo range and finding information for it is quite difficult. It seems every service centre has all the other manuals except that of the VW Polo Classic 2.0L highline.

For starters it has the following odd ball ECU controlling an odd ball BBX engine rated at 84KW and 116HP.

Controller ID 06A 906 032 PB 

Component 2.0l ME7.5.10 0305

ENGINE TYPES:

Essentially Bxx implies VW Polo engines manufactured after 2005, whereas Axx implies engines manufactured prior to 2005 or rather between 2001 and 2005. The following  engines range from 1.2L to 1.4L to 1.6L to 1.8L to 1.9L and 2.0L and include diesel engines. BMD, BBM, BME, BZG, BKY, BUD, BLM,  BBZ, BNM, BWB, BMS, BNV, BAH, BTS, BJX,  BBU, BMT, BLT, BBX,

The following  list of Axx engines also range from 1.2L to 1.4L to 1.6L to 1.8L and 1.9L and include diesel engines, AWY, AZQ, AUA, AXU, AUB, AMF, ASY, ATD, AXR, ASZ. However the Axx, Bxx rule isn't hard and fast or cast on stone. There are VW Polo vehicles manufactured prior to 2005 with BMD, BME, BBY, BKY, BBZ, BAY,BLT engines fitted and there are some manufactured after 2005, fitted with AXU,ATD, ASY, AXR, ASZ engines.

My 2.0L Volkswagen Polo  ECU's isn't only used in 2.0L Golf,  Jetta and VW Polo but also in 1.8T like the Seat Ibiza Cupra, Seat Leon, and the Seat Toledo Cupra with ME7.5.10 software.

VW DIAGNOSTICS CONT.

My 2007 VW Polo Classic 2.0L Highline is an 9N4 with a JHF 5 speed odd ball manual transmission with odd ball gear ratios and also has a obscure Immobilizer module (6Q0 920 825 C) which doubles up as the Instruments Module. This is easily visible because of the software coding. There are several dozen of other Instrument Modules none of which are compatible to the 2007 VW Polo Classic 2.0L Highline.

VW DIAGNOSTICS CONT.

The following VW 9N and 6N3 Instrument controllers have various coding, which is subject to other on-board equipment. The  software versions in their 93c86 EEPROM  range from V2 to V17 and appears incompatible to 6Q0 920 825 C. As can be seen below, only the letter suffix changes but the software is somewhat different.
