Hi, im new here. I googled around because I have a problem which this site seemed to be the most obvious.

I own a delightful Skoda Felicia 1.6 1996 Black Magic edition.

My brother is a mechanic, and borrowed a vag tester 1552 i think it was called. He called a fellow mechanic, who is a skoda mechanic. He told some codes, which ended up in resetting my abs system. I have no abs braking anymore, and the light flashes in the instruments. The fuses which is located in the engine compartment, does not seem fried.

What would you guys suggest?

I just learned that, that code is something "generated" from facts.

Like is it a 5 or 3 door. Is it with disc or drum brakes. Is it 1.3, 1.5d, 1.6 or 1.9d?

Those things "generate" the code.

From what I understand, he has re-coded the ABS control unit with an incorrect code. It should be a matter of re-coding the control unit with the original code to get you back to where you were.

The only sticking point that I can forsee is if you didn't make a note of the original code before changing it. You are correct in saying that the vehicle specification does dictate what the code should be.

You could get your Skoda mechanic to look in the manuals for the relevant code, or it may be worth a post in the Felicia section to see if any owners have a similar model and and a diagnostic tool that can read their ABS controllers code.

Gee... sounds nice.

The part of recoding the abs system, is something my brother mentioned. I just misunderstood him (we talked earlier).

He has a friend who is a mechanic, and he has a brother that is also a mechanic... a vag mechanic to be specific. He is trying to find out what the code is.

I will report back, once it gets fixed.

The coding for control unit part number 3A0907379 is 07307. If wrongly coded the ABS and low fluid light will flash once a second.

My low fluid light doesnt flash.

How did you know that code? I also know that it isnt for my model. But anyway, how did you know?

I got it from an official Skoda source.

Does it apply to my specific car?

It applies to control unit part number 3A0907379 and was the only coding which I could find for the ABS on a Felicia.

I will talk to my brother about this. Thank you!

Hello.

I just wanted to update you guys.

The code I got from Fordfan, actually worked. My brother took my skoda to a vag fanatic, he used one code, that was some kind of universal code, and then the code I got from fordfan.

Now the only problem is that the engine computer (ecu) i think is non-responsive, but well... it drives just as well.

And the ABS works!

Thanks!

Hi. In regards to the ECU being un-responsive... The engine must be running in order to read the ECU. I found this out myself.

Oh...

I will notify my brother of this.

Thank you, very much.
