Unknown Vag Code

[frogeye]

Hello,

I'm struggling to understand a fault code that won't clear with my vag.com on my Mk2 2.8 V6 Gal. I'm wondering if it is related to my intermittant immobilizer issues.

VAG-COM Version: Release 409.1-US

 

Control Module Part Number: 7M3 962 258 M

Component and/or Version: Multifunkt.Einh 0001

Software Coding: 04097

Work Shop Code: WSC 00020

1 Fault Found:

00989 - Fuse for Consumption Cut-Off (S157)

37-00 - Faulty

 

 

Again, any insight would be gratefully received.

Hi Frogeye

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I beleive vag-com version 409.1 will not clear fault codes!

Doesn't look like anything to do with the immobiliser.

 

Might be airbag fault .

 

However it could also be some lighting fault.....my money is on this.....probably interior lights

I think this is something to do with the unit that cuts off electrical power to various devices on a timer which is triggered by events such as removing the key or locking the car or even battery undervoltage. I would guess that the fuse or supply to this has gone? Do you have problems with the interior lights which have a delay timer? The car also goes into a greater sleep mode when it has not be used for a certain number of days. I cannot be more specific but it is somewhere in this area.

Spot on Big Kev.

 

This was related to my interior light problem (see other post), Fuse 53 had blown and, like a muppet, I had tested across the fuse with it still in its holder - thought I had proved its continuity and discounted it. It wasn't until later a colleague pointed out my ineptitude that I revisited my fuses removing them all one by one and testing them across the 'legs', found that I had a blown fuse. Replaced with 10A fuse, rechecked with Vag.com and clear fault code (I think that this is possible with 409.1 RadioTwo - but I am starting to doubt everything that comes out of my head/mouth/keyboard now!)

 

Hooray! :unsure:

 

Thanks all for your help.
