vr6 computer code

hello all,

i recently had my heater core changed and that works normal.
Except the ABS and airbag light stay on after one flash when i turn ignition.
hv someone plugged in to read computer code that says " electrical fault" what does that mean and how can light get back to normal?
The brakes are working normal and airbag never came off.

someone says might be fuse blown but i cannot find ABS/airbag fuse ?

would appreciate any advice.
cheers

Sorry all,
" electrical fault" should read " system power failure" if that makes some difference to eople who know these things.
thanks

There should have been a code number associated with the fault.

actually i did not see it myself , someone plugged and recorded for me.
he also said maybe the ECU shorted , but we did not go further to investigate.

where is ECU ,
can it be replaced like a fuse?

thanks

Well, I assume they are talking about the ABS module, which is common to fail & give a code similar to what you describe. There are people on this forum advertizing they will fix your module. It's located on the ABS valve unit under the hood, not too dificult of a job.

thank you.
i looked under hood and found the ABS unit with elect socket and 6 tubes going into it.
which one is the valve ? and does it hv model number?
cheers

hi, i just hv the code read again by someone and it reads 052.
i also checked fuse 16 which is not blown.
hope this can figure out more clues?

Actually, I'm unsure which system your car uses as it's UK spec. If it has an electrical module under the right side of the rear seat it's the TEVES 04, If it has a module at the bottom of the brake booster (under the hydraulic components) it's the TEVES 20 GI sytem. I don't recognize that code, what tool did you use to read it?

i had a look and found a box under rear seat with a bunch or wires going into it , model no. ZSB3A 0907367 C .
but under another rear seat i saw a bigger square box with same bunch of wires going into it but cannot see model no.
i cannot find out what tool they used to read code but it was small with portable screen and wire plug into dash socket.

they also checked sensor connection and gap but cannot tell if they are working.
last week the air bag light also came on , is it easy to take away driver air bag to check conncetion or postion? ( i saw two screws under steering wheel)
thanks

Does your ABS unit look like this?

To be honest, i hv no idea, they seem bit small to be ABS.
where are the hydraulic components?
can ABS affect air bag light to turn on too?
Today a tyre mechanic checked the sensors, wiring and bearing but found nothing abnormal visually.
what will be my next step from here?
cheers

In that picture the pump motor is the lower left, the hydraulic pump is the lower right & the module & valve body is the upper section. The brake lines plug into the four plugged holes below the black module at the top.

yes, it looks like that, although picture view is facing car interiors.
what should be my next step?

The ABS module under the right rear seat should have three rows of pins. If you are looking into the connector with the cable coming out to the left the bottom row is pin #1-19, the middle is pin #20-37 & the top is pin #38-55. Check for battery voltage between pins #1 & #35 (w/traction control), #1 & #53 (w/o) with key off. If that's okay connect a jumper between pin #19 & #34 then turn ignition on. You shopuld hear the relay click & the light ABS light should go out. Under this condition check for battary voltage between pins #1 & #3. Let me know....

hi, today i managed to get a VAG 1551 code reader that reads 2 faults:
"532-035 and 589-032 , check supply voltage and ignitor 1 too great resistance "

should i still check the pin voltage to turn abs light off?
what about the air-bag light?
many thanks

Which controller (engine, ABS or air bag) gave you those codes? If was the ABS controller, then do the power check at the module. There are two 30A fuses above the main fuse/relay panel.

i think it was ABS giving--check supply voltage; air bag giving--resistance to great.
i pull the 2 30A fuses out but cannot see any fuses, are they inside the square boxes?

Yes.

Yes.

hi, i looked into the relay panel above fuses and saw 7 sq box relays;
3 on top row( numbered 109,18,21) ;
4 on bottom rom (numbered 99,36,53,167).

took the 99 and 36 out with following codes on them:
99 : 12v EAP PA6-GF30 357 955 531
36 : 12v HLO PP-GF20 3A0 951 307

99 has 6 pins; 36 has 4 pins.
both hv coils , caps and tiny contact inside

Am i taking the right relay/fuses?
what's next step now? many thanks

The ABS fuses should be in the 53 & 54 positions. Also check fuses 23 & 16 in the regular fuse section. I don't have a position number for the ABS relay. It has six pins in use, #2 (red/white), #3 (grey/black), #4 (red/white), #5 (brown), #6 (black/yellow), #8 (two reds). You may need to ask VW for the part # to figure which one it is.

hi , i did the voltage test with key off for pin 1-35 and 1-53, both gave no reading;
so did not do the jumper for 19-34.

i also test the 3 elect sockets going into abs unit under hood, also no readings.
what should i do next? is abs module dead?

i also notice there is another unit under other passsnger seat, is that abs too?

cheers

If there's no power to the module #35 then you need to track back to the fuse. Make sure #1 is grounded. The other module is for the air bags.

where are the fuses of abs and air bag? there are only 22 fuses on panel and 7 sq relays( 109, 18, 21, 99, 36 53 , 167) above panel.

when i measured pin #1-#35 voltage, i put two metal pens on 1 and 35 of the female side of socket, how do i ground #1?
does power go to this module first , then abs sensors?

please correct me if i did it wrong, thanks

The quick test is to connect between the two & if the light works then you know both are good, if not you need to figure which is bad. Pin #1 is grounded, you make sure it is ground by hooking you're test light to battery positive & checking that it lights up when you tough pin #1. Pin #35 should be battery positive, you check by hooking the test light to ground & it should light up when you touch pin #35. The fuses are the hidden ones up above the main relay panel in the positions described earlier. Those relay numbers are not part numbers, but painted on reference numbers VW uses, it's better to use position numbers. Unfortunately I don't know either, but I suspect its not on the main 12 position panel. It's probably clipped on above as it was an option.

i still hv to check pin1 and 35 as you mention.
But i also discover 2 things:
1. these is a 5mm cable made up of 2 red/grey wires with screw hole near battery uncinnected. could that be ABS connection? or something else. I never notice that till now.

2. near screenwash bottle , there are two 20A fuse contained in a see-through plastic cover box , underneath is a feew sockets linked to wires.
what will that be and why is it presented different from other fuses?

appreciate much for these questions !!

BIG NEWS !!!
ABS LIGHT IS OFF.

inspecting the battery, i connected the 5mm loose cable near battery to positive end......the abs light went off straight. what a stupid thing a i did not notice before !! test drive for 50 miles over ramps and braking , has not come back on again,, my happiest day since i saw this light.

NOW my last problem to sort is the Airbag light, please see other mail just posted as new thread titled AIRBAG LIGHT ON .

MANY THANKS TO ALL.

Evidentally those were the power supply for the module. The other fuses under the clear cover are the cooling fan module & fuses.
