VW Passat B6 2.0 TDI ABS, ESP and Parking Brake lights on... Fault finding and repair. 

Autel you have offers you coding "creator". Its in "guided functions" and for the abs you need to input several part number identification codes. And you can find those on the sticker placed in the trunk under the carpet

Those actuators are some of the worst pieces of automotive engineering ever put on a production car.

Weird case. Looks like someone got a bit finger happy with VAG and screwed it up . Bit tricky. Great how you got it fixed. In cases like this the UTRA is a good piece of equipment. Nice job Luis. As always. P.S. I am not going to ask why someone would assume that changing a parking brake actuator would solve ABS or ESP problems.

A car that actually has fuel in it!

Hello Luis, I had one passat just like this one, 2 maybe 3 years ago. Parking brake module was not controling one of the calipers anymore. I diagnosed that parking brake module is faulty. I replace that module and when I do that, ABS coding were lost strait away. Then you need to code abs and parking brake module and perform all basics setings in abs in correct order. Thank you for the video Luis 👍👍👍

Excellent, no parts required repair. Ivan approved!

Hello everyone, i need a help. I changed parking brake module on passat b7 2012 and the module lost coding. I bought wrong module with letter G but i needed module with letter H. After i changed module all the same lights appeared on dashboard. Then i bouth new one rightone module with letter H and replaced, but i still have lights on dash board. Can i clear theys errors with Autel reader, or i need to do coding for new module? Please help me, thank you everyone.

Resolver coisas que outro mecsnico fiz e mais defficil.opah nao ha como

Never had a doubt that you could fix this, just wish the owner would have been honest! Great work Luis!!!

Knowledge is worth more than Gold, you got it man. Good luck. Pat Ireland

I believe issue caused by weak battery and to high current taken by damaged parking brake motor. VC-DS easy quick job but in some case need replacep PB module.

Basic setting rear motor en not forget esp and steering sensor adaptatiin and than adaptation of the brake pressure

VCDS is pretty cheap for what it does. Why a garage wouldn't have one and don't do a full autoscan before putting a spanner anywhere near one of these nails is beyond me. As you know, save the result and you have a copy of all the original coding data from every module. On the newer ones without the original coding its ball ache to restore functionality. Messing with coding can reset calibrations that then need adapting. Just plugging a different cluster in to test something will wipe the ABS coding and you can bet there are other modules that could be just plugged in to get the same result. I know you sorted it but always do a test drive as well. I've had no codes anywhere and after a test drive silly flashing lights sometimes clear.

Why do customers not tell you what they know, it helps you so much if you know what’s been done previously and potentially reduces their bill. People eh?🤔

Do you trying adaptation parking brakes on Autel?

I have this exact problem. Stupidity of changing the EPB module without saving the code. I could really do with your help on this!

Allways with the German it's advisable to perform basics settings after any coding.

Just software issue good investigate.bravo

I think your friend has vcds and no idea how to use it. I glad I didn't have to fix it as it would still be broken 😁

Bravo you are the master of disaster 👍👍👍👍🧐

Can you help me i need acces securise code for parking brek

Smart one always interesting videos good luck 👍👍

You never give up

hello! after I changed the actuator , still the error light is on. is it possible to remove the error without any scan tool. someone told me it will remove by itself but after two days still there

Wow a car that has 120Miles range normally it's empty and 0

Good work Louis, You must have a lot of videos to catch up on,when are we going to start seeing videos from your new house ?

Was a fun video Luis.I never had this issue myself.Nice job

Why can't people just tell the truth and explain just exactly what they did

Salut am și eu o problema la un passat b6 cu modulul de frîna de mana nu comunica cu testerul și frîna de mana sta aprinsa sigurantele sunt ok ști cumva de unde ar fi problema?

I have the same problem. Help me please. What i can do

Great video. What was the vcds security access code used before you did the acceleration sensor adjustment adaption please?

Thank you bro

Where are you based brother, can you help me I have the same problem

Well done - VCDS to the rescue! 💪🏻

Never buy a Passat. Never. Garbage

Good job

Awesome

Great video

Perfect

Well assuming 6h labour in these days money is 480quid in your pocket. Good troubleshooting guide btw. Kudos to good mechanics !

Top job Luis :) Had a field day when I saw J104 as the control unit coding. I can imagine the scan tool asking for coding and the guy be like "wtf mate" and just entering the unit designation from the wiring diagram. Seems like the Alan Turing of VAG coding had been at it.

Carly strikes again! Nice job Luis!

Thnxs!!
