Vcds Lite Question

[crafty]

HI all - thanks to the advice given I have sorted my sensor problem so I thought I would use my vcds lite to test my alarm problem.

The alarm keeops going off randomly (has done for the last 9 years so we just double lock it)

Trouble is vcds lite reports - cannot connect with controller when i try the immobiliser module.

Is that beacause I am using the free version?

Happy to pay to upgrade if it will tell me where the alarm fault lies?

WOuld be a major coup with Mrs GB if I can fix it after 9 years!

BTW no water ingress, no spiders.

Thanks again

GB

You don't have an immobiliser module that VCDS can talk to on the Galaxy, but the alarm system is handled by the 09-Central Electric controller anyway :rolleyes:

Ah that may explain it - thanks mate I'll have a go this weekend.

OK VCDS says

01135 Interior Monitoring Sensors

35-10 intermittent

 

Prised off the plastic grill in the door pillars (assume these are the sensors VCDS is referring to?)

Anyone know how easy it is to get the sensor out?

Thought I might see if theres anything obvious with the sensors - loose wire etc.

Cheers

Remove the B pillar, early models (yours as you have removable grills) the sensor assembly is clipped onto the back of the pillar plastic. Later models its clipped onto the pillar itself.
