Error Codes

Finally managed to get VCDS working

interestingly it detailed a fault with the rear climatronic that I noticed occur 6 months ago.....couple of questions...

1 - Is it possible to set the date of ECU to be more accurate the date of my fault seems to be 2036 I'm pretty sure I'm not driving a DeLorian!?
2 - Do I need to clear the fault or does it retain it in memory?
3 - It has a reset counter, why would this differ to the number of faults?
4 - Should VW have investigated/resolved these issues when I took in it for it's end of warranty inspection/service?

My faults.....

Stu is the one to talk to, he is probably the most knowledgeble on vcds on the forum.

Date and time are not fully implemented on all controllers. Mileage is normally a good indicator.

Best to take a full Autoscan and save it before clearing a fault. I you intend to take it to the dealers then leave the fault on there.

You can do the basic setting on the flap yourself I would think.

Cheers Stu, any idea what doing the basic setting on the flap would involve?

Stu · Aug 13, 2013

I've not tried with the rear system but below is a Golf operation to givebyou an idea of what to look for. As a registered VCDS owner you can also ask Ross Tech directly.

[Select]
[08 - Heating/Air Conditioning]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 001
[Go!]
Activate the Basic Setting.
[ON/OFF/Next]
The basic setting takes approximately 20 seconds.
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]

I know this is an old post, but using the Carista OBD connector and software I came up with this fault code. ALL the other modules were clear with no faults.

Heater & air conditioning
Part #: 7E5907040AC
Component: ClimatronicT5
Coding: 0004000103 (hex)
Fault codes:
9473650 Manufacturer-specific code
9474930 Manufacturer-specific code

The rear heater etc: seems to work fine. Is this important or of no/any significance?

Hello @WelshGas - did you ever find out more or do anything about code 9474930? I'm getting it on my Cali today from Carista. Back climatronic seems fine and is blowing normally...

I would just delete it and then re-check in a month or so.
I had a code, relating to the rear Climatronic, when I first plugged in my Carista. Everything was functioning OK, so deleted it and it hasn’t come back in the last 4 yrs or so.

I have the same error. All seems to function ok but error comes back after a while. Decided to leave it.

If the Carista reset dosn’t work - You can reset the flaps by pressing the ‘a/c’ button & centre vent (Arrow to drivers chest/next ) button at the same time for a few seconds while engine is running. Aircon Lights will flash and aircon fans in runs through a quick sequence, error code should then disappear.
