elliott 10 Posted June 14, 2011 As the title says really. Pluged the cable in but just kept getting this error. The relay was making some loud and clunky clicks, could it really be an easy fix? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Guessing that is an ebay special VAG-COM cable? You need to make sure you have the correct software downloaded for it from the ROSS tech website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Had this using VCDS genuine Ross-tech cable while talking to my ABS ECU, used a slightly older ver of vag com and worked fine! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 15, 2011 Could also be a water damaged ABS ECU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted June 15, 2011 Have you changed the latency settings for your port? I hear that sometimes causes vagcom problems reading abs faults Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaky 10 Posted June 15, 2011 I agree with swiftkid, change the latency timer of the USB serial port to '5' if you want to read ABS codes - (Control panel/hardware/devicemanager/ports/ 'USB serial port' advanced tab) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 15, 2011 x 3 for that ^^^ Ive always found the ebay leads to be really hit and miss, even when not just scanning the ABS. Getting it to correctly detect the car and/or cable is a task in itself. One day it can be working, the next it doesnt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliott 10 Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks for the info guys, yes its a dumb ebay special and yes i'm using the latest ross tech freebie. Had to change the baud rate to get it working with the wifes lupo but worked 100%. (cleared brake switch and air bag faults) I'll go and try the latency and i'll let you know... Water damage??? ahh jeez, i hope not..... ---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ---------- Have you changed the latency settings for your port? I hear that sometimes causes vagcom problems reading abs faults +10 for you swiftkid, sitting in the car after the latency change and its working.

elliott 10 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Ok, cleared the codes and took the car for a spin. Didn't take long for the light to come back on so run the test again...

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 15, 2011 Yup. The rest is just about activation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaky 10 Posted June 15, 2011 With a multimeter check the resistance of the sensor, there's a plug on the front strut that you can unplug and check without taking the wheel off, it should be about 1100 ohms otherwise it's suspect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
