Hi.

Was at my local vag dealer to get adjusted my xenon lamps.

They couldnt get contact with the lamps with vag-com.

Must I drive to a Ford repair, or should vag-com fix it?

 

I assume that you are refering to adjusting the beam alignment, this is a manual process and one of the few things that vag-com cannot do for you. Do a search for beam alignment to find out more..

Not true for Xenon headlights. They DO require Vag-Com to active levelling mode however the galaxy is done via "Left Light" and not "Xenon Range" like most other VAG cars :wacko:

Hi all,

 

when I scanned left/right light through vag-com I found following fault at left light:

 

Left xenon light:

Saturday, 05 December 2009, 22:58:12

 

VAG-COM Version: Release 409.1-S

 

 

 

Control Module Part Number: 7M3 907 391

 

Component and/or Version: EVG GDL + AutoLWR 0003

 

Software Coding: 00017

 

Work Shop Code: WSC 00000

 

2 Faults Found:

 

01042 - Control Module: Not Coded

 

55-00 - Adaptation Not Successful

 

01539 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs

 

35-00 - Please Register/Activate

 

Could be this done through vag-com (unregistered) or do I have to go to dealers to have it done by them?

 

Thanks for any replay

You should be able to to reset them however they will still need to be aimed if they or the sensors have been disturbed at any point. I've posted details for how to level on here before, I can't search at the moment so you'll have to trawl back though.

Set them to home, wait for the motors to stop moving then manually adjust them if needed and finally save the settings. If you've done it correctly then you shouldn't have any error codes logged, and its only if there are no codes that the self levelling system will work.

 

The system only adjust the headlights when they are first turned on. Some VW's do sweep the headlight beam up/down as part of their warm up sequence but the galaxy won't do that - it will only adjust if there is a change in load since last time they were switched on.

 

Real time measurment happens, but only when a number of parameters are met will it try adaption. There needs to be no significant change from both sensors, speed must be a 0 and both conditions must stay for around 30 seconds for adaption to take place - you should be able to see in meauring blocks - look for ADP ok, which should change to ADP Run. when its checking them.

Hi Mirez,

 

I have tried to set my levelling right according to your earlier post but nothing happened (basic setting > group one > hit go....) and in the first box in first group there is error displayed. In second group again first box mention error. I still have same errors in "Fault codes" . Obviously I have registered my VCDS-lite through ross tech website.

 

Thank for any help

George

Errors are never good :)

 

If you go into mesuring blocks do you get a figure for both the front and rear sensor?

Posted

Yes, I do (some small voltages - can't recall at the moment). Also there is ADP OK despite of these errors. I can guess someone in the past changed whole left headlight and ballast hasn't been configured properly. Is there anything what can I try with VCDS or would I have to go to stealers?

 

Thanks

George
