Max69vk Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Did a scan with Vag com & found the fault below, tried to clear it & it came straight back on again. Anyone got any ideas which part of the system its refering to? (Don't say airbag!)Controller: 1C0 909 601Component: 05 AIRBAG VW51 0004Coding: 12341Shop #: WSC 064411 Fault found:00532-Supply voltage B+ 07-10-Signal too Low - IntermittentThe air bag light came on after I dropped the bonnet from almost full height, could it of triggered a sensor in the front of the car?

Max69vk Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Just found this on Wiki-tech (below), any ideas where the sensors & control modules are? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penry Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thats the airbag control sensor code. Its behind the centre console when you take it out, mounted on the centre tunnel forward from the gearstick. Dunno why it would have gone awol though? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check around for earth connections and see if its that which needs repairing... Make sure battery is disconnected when your doing it though...

Ties in perfectly with the fact that it only happened after the bonnet slammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wadda Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Sorry to jump in to your thread. But I was wondering if any Vag_com users have bougght there cab from ebay? I bought one ages ago and have lost my driver disc for it. I was wondering if any one could email me the drivers. I already have Vag-Com itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ID modds Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Air bag systems are very sensitive so just erase the fault and see if it comes back if so do some thing then.Do not check it with a multi meter at all if you do not know what you are doing.That fault can be caused by low battery or poor live or earth.

Max69vk Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 We've alraedy tried wiping the code with VAG-COM & it came straight back on again. Had a look in the engine bay & couldn't see anything tat might be a sensor or cable near the slam panel style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Finally got down to VW & got it checked out by one off the top tech guys (cheers Martin BTW), he' s told me that the control module is faulty but he's got no idea why it would have gone suddenly. After a litle chat he's explained that its got nothing to do with the earthing as its the B+ signal thats got the problem not the B- or earthing, I've checked all the connections & they appear ok so it looks like Im in for an expensive repair style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />One thing he did mention though is that the unit cant just be replaced, its needs to be coded to the car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> I've never heard of that before.

ID modds Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 If the light or fault has been eraced just leave it. Do the first two lines of the fault code read out go on about supply voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 The code/fault has been erased but it instantly comes back on, hence the need for the new controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ID modds Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Unlucky, it should not cost too much to fit the conrtol unit but the unit will cost a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Luckily Mitch has one lying around somewhere so I'll just need to get it recoded, no doubt the dealership will be able to give me a price & add a few 0's on the end to do it though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ID modds Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 We if you fit it before going to vw it will only take 20-30 max to code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Looks easy enough, 1 multiplug & 4x10mm nuts on the tunnel. Shame its one of those jobs that you almost need to be a contorsionist to do! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ID modds Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I a bit of a git to do, you best make sure it's the right unit for your car and then hope it's ok style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Have been doing lots of searching on the web about this matter & finding lots of info regarding 'bugs' in the hard wiring of certain airbag control units (possibly on lots of units in Lupo's & Arosa's) but nothing of any real use. Does anyone have any wiring diagrams that may be of use or know where the airbag earthing points are? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I was under the impression that all lupo control units were the same ( well, as long as you've got the same number of airbags e.g. GTi with seat airbags compared with GTi without). But found out today that connectors are different style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosse Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) It is perfectly possible to replace it yourself if you have VAG-COM. Just go to the controller now, and write down the current coding. Disconnect the battery, and replace the controller. Afterwards, connect the battery, connect to the module, and enter the coding from the old module. That's it.Don't forget to do a throttle body adaptation after your battery has been disconnected if it's a petrol car.That aside, I pretty sure it's not the controller. It is obviously a wiring issue. It is possible that the problem is at the connector of the control unit, but the controller is obviously functioning. I would look a little longer at the wiring.

Apparently airbag controllers can only be programmed once too, I will need a new 'un-coded' unit as a 2nd hand unit cant be wiped & re-programmed style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
