VW MQB Headlight Regulation

From Ross-Tech Wiki


This page directly applies to VW Touareg (7P) and VW Golf (5G/AU) Chassis vehicles with Headlight Regulation MQB headlights. This can be identified by evaluating the data in the Auto-Scan:

Address 55: Headlight Range (J745)       Labels: 7P6-907-357.clb
  Part No SW: 7P6 907 357 C    HW: 7P6 907 357 B
  Component: AFS-ECU       H01 0091

This page can also be used as a general Basic Settings guide for Facelift MQB cars with LED headlights using address 4B instead of 55 per this scan example:

Coding

This control module is Long Coded. It is strongly advised to run and save a complete Auto-Scan prior to replacement so the original coding can be copied and pasted directly into the new control module. Coding information is available using the Long Coding Helper in VCDS.
