Trip Computer !

[paulmpaciorek]

Hi all.

 

 

 

 

This problem has been with me for some time now ( ooo er Matron !!)my trip computer will only respond to one function each time I switch on the ignition. I switch off,then on then it advances to the following function ???? Any ideas ?

 

 

Paul.

 

I have a brand new function stalk but havent got the confidence to mess around with the airbag to replace it. Is it possible to plug the new one in while the old one is in situ ??? Vw Sharan 115TDI Sport 2000.

The trip controls has 4 wires 1 to ground and the other three go to the connector at the rear of the instrument cluster. (pins 23 24 and 25)

Removing the cluster to test the new trip controls could be just as tricky as just putting the new controls on.

 

This is for a mk2 your 2000 mk 1 or 2?

 

I had this translated from german for changing the cruise control lever. read it at your peril.

 

 

Removal of the Airbag of the steering wheel

Before the removal of the Airbag of the steering wheel the absolutely following points are to be considered:

The battery earth cable (-) should be unclamped now already at least 10 minutes!!

The steering wheel first in straight-ahead position of the wheels bring.

Steering column locking solve, the steering column completely pull out, upward place and

there lock.

The steering wheel around 90 degrees turn.

Above the steering column cover one feels one on the back of the steering wheel

Drilling.

One approx. 170 mm are enough for screwdriver approx. 45 mm parallel to the steering column put in

and then if one the resistance feels the screwdriver with an easy Knipp

movement upward draw.

With the other hand at the same time the Airbag approx. 3-5 mm from the steering wheel take off.

Steering wheel by 180 degrees turn back and with the other side just as muddled.

The steering wheel back in straight-ahead position bring.

The Airbag carefully takes off and the plug from the steering wheel takes off, then at a safe place deposits, not to throw or drop!!

Chris ...you have to be congratulated on your translation from German!!!!! ..... why was it I had visions of goose stepping and men with very small moustaches wearing jack boots working on Galaxys while reading it?

 

The left part of the guidance stick switch is postponed simply only and locks themselves with a small plastic nose ;) :( :16:

 

ACHTUNG SPITFEURE!!!!!!!!!

Try these (English!) instructions for removing the steering column switches. I cannot confirm their accuracy but would strongly advise heeding the numerous warnings. If you don't feel confident I would suggest booking it into a garage.

 

 

WARNINGS:

. To avoid accidental deployment the air bag control module backup power supply must be depleted. Wait at least one minute after disconnecting the battery ground cable(s) before commencing any repair or adjustment to the supplemental restraint system (SRS), or any component(s) adjacent to the SRS sensors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

. Always wear safety glasses when working on an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling an air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

. To minimize the possibility of premature deployment, do not use radio key code savers when working on the supplemental restraint system. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

. To minimize the possibility of injury in the event of premature deployment, always carry a live air bag module with the bag and trim cover pointed away from the body. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

. To minimize the possibility of premature deployment, live air bag modules must only be placed on work benches which have been ground bonded and with the trim cover facing up. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

. Never probe the electrical connectors of air bag modules or any other supplemental restraint system component. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

 

A. REMOVE THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE

1. Disconnect the battery ground cable(s).

NOTE: Turn the steering wheel to access the air bag module retaining clips.

2. Detach the driver air bag module from the steering wheel. Using a suitable screwdriver release the air bag module retaining clips.

3. Remove the driver air bag module. Disconnect the air bag module electrical connector.

 

B. REMOVE THE STEERING WHEEL

NOTE: Make sure the road wheels are in the straight ahead position.

1. Centralize the steering and lock it in position.

2. Using the special tool, remove the steering wheel retaining bolt.

3. Remove the steering wheel.

 

C. REMOVE THE AIR BAG SLIDING CONTACT

1. Detach the steering column upper shroud from the lower shroud.

2. Remove the steering column upper shroud.

3. Remove the steering column lower shroud.

4. Detach the air bag sliding contact from the multifunction switches. Release the air bag sliding contact retaining tangs.

5. Vehicles with stability assist - Disconnect the steering wheel rotation sensor electrical connector.

6. Remove the air bag sliding contact. Disconnect the air bag module and horn electrical connector.

 

D. REMOVE THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH

1. Disconnect the turn signal electrical connector.

2. Disconnect the automatic speed control electrical connector.

3. Disconnect the windshield wiper electrical connector.

4. Disconnect the windshield washer electrical connector.

5. Remove the steering column multifunction switch.

 

 

Installation is the reverse of removal except for C (AIR BAG SLIDING CONTACT):

1. Connect the air bag module and horn electrical connector.

2. Vehicles with stability assist - Connect the steering wheel rotation sensor electrical connector.

3. Install the air bag sliding contact. Make sure the retaining tangs lock into position on the multifunction switches.

WARNING: Incorrect centralization may result in premature component failure. If in doubt when centralizing the air bag sliding contact, repeat the centralizing procedure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE: Air bag sliding contacts on vehicles without stability assist have a spring loaded plunger which locks the air bag sliding contact in the centralized position when the steering wheel is removed. If there is any doubt about the centralization of the component, depress the spring loaded plunger and carry out the centralizing procedure that follows.

NOTE: Air bag sliding contacts on vehicles with stability assist have a raised arrow on the outer cover which will align with the steering wheel rotation sensor indicator when the air bag sliding contact is correctly centralized.

4. Centralize the air bag sliding contact.

5. Turn the air bag sliding contact in a counterclockwise direction until a resistance is felt.

6. Turn the air bag sliding contact in a clockwise direction until a resistance is felt, approximately four and one-half turns.

7. Turn the air bag sliding contact in a counterclockwise direction until the raised arrow aligns with the steering wheel rotation sensor indicator or the spring loaded plunger locks the air bag sliding contact (approximately two and one-quarter turns).

8. Install the steering column lower shroud.

9. Attach the steering column upper shroud to the steering column.

10. Install the steering column upper shroud.

CAUTION: If there is any break between centralizing the air bag sliding contact and installing the steering wheel, or the vehicle is left unattended by the technician, the centralizing procedure MUST be repeated.

11. Install the steering wheel.

12. Vehicles with stability assist - Configure the electronic stability program.

WARNING: The electronic stability program must be re-configured. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
