Ska Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Right I've finally got VAGcom, a couple of questions for a sanity check: As I understand it having a 1997 A8 means I shoudn't have any problems connecting to the airbag control module as the light came on the other day when I removed the rear seat for a bit, so I want to reset it. Also how or where is the link on how to reset the service reminder? I'm scared that I might turn the A8 into a vegitable is that a real threat; I mean so long as I stay in the basic functions and aviod the advanced funtions of VAGcom then all should be fine, yes?

PaulW Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 This will show you how to reset the intevals: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/audi_sri.html To reset the airbag light, just go into the air bag control module, choose "fault codes", then once they come up, hit the clear button. That's it. I usually save all my fault codes to a Word document for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 There a "safe" section in VAG-COM and a "refer to service manual" Stick the safe side unless you know what your doing. EG. reseting the service light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Are you saying that there is a potential to screw things up when I follow rosstechs method for resetting the service indicator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulW Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Absolutely not. There is very little you can screw up with the vag-com tool. Just play with it, you'll love it! The tool....I mean the ross-tech tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Please bare with me folks I'm a little excited with my new toy Right folks I downloaded the VAGcom software and wanted to know how to activate the full version(i have the cert. number for the software from SKpang, but how do i use it and how can i tell its the full version) I've carried out an AUTORUN and got the following codes: VAG-COM Version: Release 504.1-UD Chassis Type: 4D - Audi A8 D2 Scan: 01 03 08 15 16 17 35 36 37 45 55 56 65 76 02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address 01: Engine Controller: 4D0 907 551 C Component: 2.8L V6/5V MOTR AT D07 Coding: 04153 Shop #: WSC 00000 3 Faults Found: 18010 - Power Supply Terminal 30: Voltage too Low P1602 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 17967 - Throttle Body (J338): Fault in basic settings P1559 - 35-00 - - 16518 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: No Activity P0134 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent Readiness: 0000 0100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address 15: Airbags Controller: 4D0 959 655 C Component: Airbag 7 Audi D02 Coding: 00224 Shop #: WSC 02314 3 Faults Found: 00532 - Supply Voltage B+ 07-10 - Signal too Low - Intermittent 01215 - Seat Occupant Sensor; Driver Side Rear (G177) 32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent 01216 - Seat Occupant Sensor; Passenger Side Rear (G178) 32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent Address 35: Centr. Locks Controller: 8LO 862 257 Component: ZV-Pumpe, DWA, Funk Coding: 10184 Shop #: WSC 65535 6 Faults Found: 01371 - Alarm triggered by Door Contact Switch; Driver's Side 35-00 - - 01372 - Alarm triggered by Door Contact Switch; Passenger Side or Rear 35-00 - - 01374 - Alarm triggered by Terminal 15 35-00 - - 01370 - Alarm triggered by Interior Monitoring 35-00 - - 01369 - Alarm triggered by Hood Switch 35-00 - - 01368 - Alarm triggered by Luggage Compartment Switch 35-00 - - End -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was expecting the airbag codes and have removed them and turned of the red light because I had removed the rear seat for a while. Am I to assume that the central locking codes came up because the drivers door was open during the scan? The engine codes are a bit of a mix the engine was not started during the scan is that why I have the O2 sensor code and will it clear automatically. The TB setting prob/codes have been their for a while even though I have replaced the TB for a new one. and last but not least the power supply code whats that about? Cheers sorry for all the Q's at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Doh! I read this as far as the full activation goes: The KEY-PRO interface has build in Dongle, no software activation required. It also has dual PC interface, USB and serial on in one unit. But all the other questions about the codes still stand, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes49 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 1,Power supply is just the battery been disconnected at some stage, 2,Have you carried out Basic setting, from when you changed the throttle body? Proberly not that why that code is there. 3,Lambda sensor (bank 1)(pre cat) is not working correctly all the time, The Central con codes. Are just the alarm has been set off during scans, Just clear them and all will be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Cheers Tobes Is there a database of codes somewhere or is that in the bentley manuals? When the TB was changed I took the car to AMD but they couldn't set the adaption using their Diag. tool. The one that slightly worries me is the lambda sensor; Address 01: Engine Controller: 4D0 907 551 C Component: 2.8L V6/5V MOTR AT D07 Coding: 04153 Shop #: WSC 00000 3 Faults Found: 18010 - Power Supply Terminal 30: Voltage too Low P1602 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent 17967 - Throttle Body (J338): Fault in basic settings P1559 - 35-00 - - <font color="red"> </font> 16518 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: No Activity P0134 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent Readiness: 0000 0100 Can you help on this? Does it mean its truely knackered or can it be ignored? but surely if it had packed up the car would be coughing all over the park? And surely "No Activity" means theres no flow rate throuh the manifold as the engine isn't started... hopefully I'm sure there is a way to check if its working correctly using the VAG but don't know how The car seems to drive fine. (Touch wood) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botang Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 It does say its intermittent, what you have to determin is how often it happens. To do this you would clear the fault codes, take it for a drive then recheck it. If the code is back you will need to do something about it, if not dont worry about it and recheck again in a week or so. I should think the car will be able to sort itself out without a value from the lambda sensor, it will proberbly revert back to an expected figure and go by that, so you may not even notice.

ricboc Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi, please bear with me as this is my first post on the forum. I have just bought a 2.8 30V sport and it seems to have a bit of a miss fire, I too am getting the old 18010 - Power Supply 30: Voltage too low P1602 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent. I am getting no other faults but this one, I have reset with my newly purchased VAGCOM, but this error keeps coming back. Would this be causing the misfire and how do I fix it??? :confused: Also the car seems quite bouncy on any road surface, is there something inherent with the sports suspension? The car has done 132000 miles, but for an Audi surely this is "Just run in" Please can anyone help me as these two problems are driving me mad...
