MACH1 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just had my car back from garage and there is a Strange Fault diagram on the dash computer, It is a picture of a steering Wheel with an Exclamation mark to the right hand side of it, All in Orange, I have checked my hand book but no such fault could be found, Nothing shows up on a Vag diagnostics controller, well at least not the one in the Garage where i took it.also there are no readings of mpg or how much fuel i'm using etc.Anyone any ideas. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyliss Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Maybe take it back to the garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slol Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think its the esp sensor, happened to me when i changed the steering wheel,as that is where it calibrates the straight ahead position from, have they had yours off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACH1 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Not that i know of, it went in for gearbox change would they need to take the steering wheel off for that?

slol Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Sorry didnt mean it was the esp sensor at fault, just that if the steering wheel has been messed with it the lamp comes on. If youve had the box changed perhaps they have left a connector unplugged somewhere????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolDave Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 [ QUOTE ] What is an SCSM? [/ QUOTE ] Steering Column Switch Module - if it loses power it "forgets" which way the steering wheel is pointing and that confuses the ESP - hence the fault shown on the DIS. It's easily corrected - you don't need to go to the dealer if you have VAG-COM - look here http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/steeringangle.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
