Audi A4 (8K) Airbag Audi 10

From Ross-Tech Wiki


The Airbag Audi 10 system can be identified by evaluating the AirbagVW-AU10 Component data in the Auto-Scan:

Address 15: Airbags (J234)
  Part No SW: 8K0 959 655 K    HW: 8K0 959 655 K
  Component: AirbagVW-AU10 H45 0610
  ASAM Dataset: EV_AirbaECUVWAUDI010 003010
  ROD: EV_AirbaECUVWAUDI010_AU48.rod

Adaptation

Used to deactivate individual airbag components (see repair manual for details).

Security Access

  • Will appear in a pop-up balloon when connected to this controller with VCDS.

Special Procedures

Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706)

If the Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706) or the seat itself have been replaced, the reset has to be performed.
Prerequisites:

  • The vehicle is between 5° and 35°C (40° ~ 95°F).
  • Battery voltage no less than 12.4 V.
  • Passenger seat is empty and in normal position.
  • Seatbelt must NOT be plugged in.
  • No faults in the system.

[Select]
[15 - Airbags]
[Security Access - 16]
Enter the code shown in the pop-up balloon.
[Do it!]
[Output Tests-03]
Select the following from the pull-down menu:
Seat occupied recognition serial number
[Start]
[Stop]

The Seat occupied recognition serial number reset has been performed. Proceed directly to the Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706): Reset

Seat Occupied Recognition Control Module (J706): Reset

If a repair on the Seat Occupied Recognition has been performed, including the procedure above, a reset has to be performed too.

Prerequisites:

  • The vehicle is between 5° and 35°C (40° ~ 95°F).
  • Battery voltage no less than 12.4 V.
  • Passenger seat is empty and in normal position.
  • Seatbelt must NOT be plugged in.
  • No faults in the system.

[Select]
[15 - Airbags]
[Security Access - 16]
Enter the code shown in the pop-up balloon.
[Do it!]
[Output Tests-03]
Select the following from the pull-down menu:
Resetting seat occupied recognition
[Start]
[Stop]

The seat occupied recognition reset reset has been performed. Fault codes should clear after an ignition cycle.

Note If you get a "Request Sequence Error" when performing the above procedures, try [Coding - 07] the [15 - Airbags] module with the same Coding value it already has. It may give you an error but proceed anyway with the two Output Tests steps shown above.

Replacement

Replacement of the Airbag control module may result in Component Protection (CP) DTCs such as U1101 and U1100. Component Protection can only be learned/disabled using the Factory Tool in Combination with an online Connection with GeKo access.

The Coding and Parameterization steps are performed online as well, but those steps use a process called SVM (Software Version Management). SVM is a system used by VW/Audi to flash update control modules, and in certain cases, to change their Coding, Adaptation and configure Parameters.

Even if you have a complete Auto-Scan saved prior to replacing the Airbag module and the replacement part number is EXACTLY the same we strongly recommend using SVM to code and unlock CP for liability reasons.
