These control modules support conventional short coding however coding charts are not available in the repair manual. Instead, each coding inquiry has to be configured per vehicle based on the complete Auto-Scan and vehicle repair history. Registered Customers can email directly with each request.


Software Part Number 5M0-907-357-E and above: (5M0-907-357-V3.lbl)
These control modules use the latest UDS/ODX protocol and VCDS Release 12.10.4 or later is required for compatibility. They support Long Coding and the Long Coding Helper documentation is complete.


The [Coding - 07] function is explained on the following page of our Interactive Manual

Special Notes

The AFS modules ( 7L6-941-329-B ) are communicating properly in this example:

Address 55: Xenon Range
  Part No SW: 5M0 907 357 C
  Component: AFS-Steuergeraet    0142  
  Coding: 1446940
 
  Part No: 7L6 941 329 B
  Component: AFS-Lst.-Modul l    0004  
  Coding: 00000022
 
  Part No: 7L6 941 329 B
  Component: AFS-Lst.-Modul r    0004  
  Coding: 00000022

The AFS modules are Not communicating properly in this example:

Address 55: Xenon Range
  Part No SW: 5M0 907 357 C
  Component: AFS-Steuergeraet    0142  
  Coding: 1446940
 
  Part No: ID-L fehlt
  Component: AFS-Lst.-Modul l    ....
  Coding: 00000255 
 
  Part No: 7L6 941 329 B
  Component: AFS-Lst.-Modul r    0004  
  Coding: 00000022

The Coding cannot be changed in the above example. The cause of the fehlt / missing message for the left light must be corrected first. This includes Fuses, Power, Ground, Wiring Problems, Wiring Connectors plugged into the wrong locations and the actual AFS module(s).

  • When fault code: 01042-Control Module; Not Coded alone is stored after AFS module / headlight control module replacement:
    • Recode the master 55-Xenon Range module to the same value and cycle the key. The new slave module should automatically be coded.
