Got the Vag-Com cable in the mail, tested it on the computer as instructed. But I can't get it to work on the car. I go to the first block, engine 01, and it doesn't appear to ever connect. It does some actions in the upper left corner, then gives me an error code. Says cannot communicate with control module. Help???!!!
 
40 Feedback value, cold end-stop, Footwell/Defroster Flap Motor
Potentiometer (G114)

Mine reads "---" but I know others have read -51C. I believe it's a calculated value and not a measured value.

Have you tried scanning the climatronic for faults?

Turn the key to on (no need to start). Hold down ECON and RECIRC buttons simultaneously. The display will show codes. Write down the three-character alphanumeric code like "4F8" and the two digit code "00". Press the red TEMP button to step through more codes. Write down all the codes you see. If you see "444", that means no problems. When you see code "000", that's the end of the codes. Press ECON to exit. Post the codes here.
When I press ECON and RECIRC buttons my read out is: 513 00
Could anyone help with what this code means?
 
513 is a code for the data bus diagnostic interface module J533. J533 provides the interface between the control modules on the CAN and the OBDII port on your car. The two digit 00 code doesn't provide any additional info as to what might be wrong with J533 if anything.

Can you connect an OBDII scanner to the OBDII port on your car and read the diagnostic trouble codes for the ECM? Do you have a check engine light? If you are not having any issues, I wouldn't worry about it. If you have a VAG-COM, you could clear it and see if it comes back.
 
I do have a check engine light on but its because my cats are below their threshold.
The reason I did the check on the climatronic is because it is giving temp readings like -49 and not letting the air conditioning run because of it. How do I figure out which sensor is bad?
Thanks for the help on this! :)
 
Hi everybody !

My last video could be useful to new TT Owners, it is just a video about the Audi TT Climate Control Panel codes (you know, display speed (km/h and mph), temperature,diagnostic codes and more within the Climate Control Panel...).

Just click on the pic below to see the video on youtube

Do you still get the Hex 318 code?

If you still have the 318 code, you can check the a/c pressure switch with a multimeter. It's located beneath the right (passenger) headlight. You may have to remove the headlight to get to it. There is a 4 pin connector on it. Pull the connector off. Check to see if the switch is closed across pins 1 and 2 and open across pins 3 and 4. If pins 1 and 2 show open, the switch is faulty assuming your refrigerant charge is correct. If it is open and you are sure the charge is correct, jumper the connector pins 1 and 2 and see if the a/c works.
Are you or anyone else bale to take a picture of this? I have a UK model, but still think it's behind the right hand headlight, as the compressor is below that area. But really struggling to see where the actual switch or connector is.

My switch seems to be permanently open, either cos the charge pressure is too high or too low, no matter how much or how little you put in (have tried reducing and increasing charge pressure slowly).
 
Hey, i just pulled the code 119 00, what could this be. Its winter, so its hard to test, but i think the electric radiator fan is not working, it never comes on when i turn the AC on. Its a 00' V6
 
About On Board Diagnosis ( press Econ,Colder ans FAn speed downs buttons,scroll through the diagnosis channels using warmer and colder buttons : appears 255 00 which channel mode could it be tnxx
 
Thanks, been looking for this. But my 99 Passat has 44 codes does anyone know what the extra 4 might be?

Or what 'sensor or value' learned might mean?

Does the B5 have a oil temperature sensor, which would could be read using one of these codes?

I recently spent a some time in my car comparing the diagnostic values in the climatronic display, vag-com climatronic measuring blocks and the B5 bentley manual.
The values below are the Climatronic diag codes for unit 1J1 907 044 in a '97 Euro Passat B5 1.8T AEB (I dont know if this is the same module as in the US models or newer B5/B5.5 models)

I have a 2002 Passat wagon and I’m getting bunch of codes on it and I have no idea what they mean he’ll
Please start a new thread and post up all the codes along with any recent work (over the year, maybe). ANY work done, whether you think it is relevant or not. Also, any symptoms you are experiencing.
 
I have a 2002 volkswagen passat V6 thats can-bus and needing someone that has Vag-com that is around me want to fix the settings for the car to lock and unlock, plus i have removed second air fan was hoping someone can help with changing something to remove check engine light and personal settings. Thanks

Kind of hard to tell who is around you if you don't include your location in your profile.
