Coding

Coding information is available while connected to the vehicle with VCDS using the [Long Coding Helper].

Adaptation

Service Reminder

Unlike previous models that used the [SRI Reset] function, the newer protocol UDS/ODX modules do not support conventional Adaptation Channels. The [SRI Reset] will not work and will result in a message like this:

To Reset the Service Reminder the procedure will need to be done manually:

[17 - Instruments]
[Adaptation - 10]
Choose "ESI: Resetting ESI" from the drop-down menu.
ESI_w-options.png
Choose Reset from the drop-down menu
[Do It!]
It may be necessary to cycle the key before the service warning is cleared.

Modify Service Intervals

If you choose to modify the factory default service interval Mileage and Time settings in Fixed (non flexible) configurations:

  • Look at the Adaptation choices and choose
    • "SID: maximum value of distance to service"
    • "SID: maximum value of time to service"



Special Notes

  • If an Adaptation Error warning indicating that the control module is Uninitialized you must let VCDS write defaults to the WSC, Importer and Equipment numbers before the value can be changed. Click [Yes] followed by [Do It!]

  • Most North American vehicles with the UDS/ODX protocol instrument clusters have a "Reset" that can be accessed via the MFA, without a scan tool. Pictures here:

  • Some vehicles will display "---" as the value until the next time/distance service in the instrument cluster after being reset. This is not an error, instead the system requires a certain time/distance to calibrate itself to show meaningful values. This takes about 300 miles or 500 km in most cases but some TDI vehicles may take up to 1,000 miles or 1,600 km! TSBs, TPIs and/or Tech Tips should be available in the various repair manual sources for vehicles with known issues.
  • Rests of World (RoW) Golf based vehicles typically use flexible service intervals. If you are having difficulty configuring the service intervals after another scan tool enable a fixed scheme please verify the installed TOG sensor is enabled in the ESI: Coding of Service Interval Extension (SIE) adaptation channel. Registered users can email the complete Auto-Scan in addition to the Adaptation function control module map for assistance.
