Headlight wash VCDS coding

Featured Replies

Fellow Briskodians im after a favour, anyone with VCDS?

 

Im fiddling with headlamp wash in VCDS and when I go to 09 Central Electronics i then go to 16 Security Access and I put a security code in - you have to do this otherwise i get an error when i go to Central electronics.  Security Access says that you only get 1 option on some controllers and then it locks you out for 10 mins.  When i hover over the code box VCDS pops a code up to use 22341 or similar, however on a guide ive seen here it says use 31347.  In a nutshell the changes I make to headlight wash delay (how many cycles of washing front window before it washes the lights) dont make a difference.

 

Is anyone able to go to Security Access for me and tell me whether the code they get is 31347 or different please :)

Just as a guess, have you done a soft reset of the infotainment system as that is sometimes needed to trigger the changes?

@ScoutCJB Yeah I've just hooked mine up and I get 31347. See below

I'm sure you've already checked, but are you using the very latest version?

I coded mine to wash headlights with a long 2 second pull on the washer stalk using this method.

 

Select Control unit: 09 Central Electrics

Security Access 31347

Select Adaptation

Type Windshield Wiper

Select SRA Verzoegerungszeit

Set to 2000 ms or whatever value you want. 2500 ms is 2.5 seconds and so on.

Good call, I haven't but other changes I made worked without having to do this.

Thanks very much for checking, im guessing that the Security Access codes differ then - It is latest version.  This is on an Audi btw but the principles should be the same.  Other coding such as beep on lock etc have worked fine.

What i wanted to know is whether i needed to enter 31347 as opposed to the code it prompted me with.  So looks like the code im being prompted with is correct, maybe just Audi specific.

I did see on a Seat forum the coding was 31347 as well.

 

On my old Scout I went in and from this menu it was set at 10 and it was every 10th pull.  Changed it to 3 and it was then every 3rd pull - worked perfectly.

I did make this change as it was set to 8000MS so this meant pulling stalk for 8 seconds to prompt a headlight wash ... i tested and it was 8 seconds. I've changed it to 2000MS and now it only requires a 2 second pull to activate the headlamp washers so from this point of view i change this coding and it applies.

Umm, without wanting to accuse you of being stupid, but have you checked your headlights are on when testing, rather than in Auto? The headlights won't wash otherwise. I know this from practical experience after replacing a broken washer and wondering why nothing was happening.

Yes lights deffo on 🙂 .. It washes them once but then wont wash again (from what i can gather until the engine is turned off then back on) - i tried pulling stalk 15 times after but nothing after 1st wash and even 20 mins later, nothing.  I know on the wifes old Zafira VXR that it wouldnt wash lights again until approx 15 minutes had past.

 

VCDS had number 8 in settings which i took to be the number of cycles that would have to pass (ie times you pull stalk after initial wash) before they worked agin but it deffo isnt 8.

 

Wondering if there is something in long coding maybe that needs to be changed.

Strange. For testing purposes when I refitted my headlight washer, I reduced the interval to 2 and it squirted the headlights every two pulls of the washer stalk. I think there may be something else amiss with your coding.

This is from factory unless previous owner fiddled with it.  In the basic coding there is only one value to change - it was 8 and i changed to 2 - no difference, only washes them once.  Maybe there is something in long coding

As for time stalk needs to be pulled to activate them, was 8000MS and i tested and it was 8 seconds.  Changed to 2000MS and tested and they operate after 2 secs so that fine, again only one value you can change.

You say “Basic Coding” do you mean via the adaptation menu? There should be several options to change there. They may not be under the most obvious heading though. 
in the screen shot, the first option changes the number of pulls off the stalk and the second the time of pull on the stalk to initiate.

You're using obd11 though, not VCDS

Yes, but the process is the same. Menu names might be different in VCDS as they’ll be translated to English. Easy enough to stock the OBDEleven headings into Google translate.

Here's the instructions I followed using VCDS:

 

 Controller 09 – Central Electronics

16 - Security Access - enter 31347

10 - Adaptations

 

Windshield wiper-Anzahl Betaetigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung - 10

Windshield wiper-SRA Verzoegerungszeit - 0 ms default, change to 2000ms (delay before headlamp washer activates)

Windshield wiper-SRA Waschzeit - 600 ms

Windshield wiper-SRA Einweichpausenzeit - 2000 ms

Windshield wiper-SRA Nachwaschzeit - 1100 ms

Windshield wiper-SRA Pausenzeit - 0 ms

Windshield wiper-SRA bei Waschwassermangel - not active

Yes sorry the adaptions,  there are a few options but ive found all the headlamp wash related ones as far a I am aware.

Windshield wiper-SRA Nachwaschzeit - 1100 ms

Windshield wiper-SRA Pausenzeit - 0 ms

Windshield wiper-SRA bei Waschwassermangel - not active 

 

Without googling im guessing

Windshield wiper-Anzahl Betaetigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung - 10 (number of pulls between each wash, ie it washes lights then has to be pulled 10 more times before washing again.

Windshield wiper-SRA Waschzeit - 600 ms (how long it washes the light for)

 

Unsure of the others but are all time related.

 

Windshield wiper-SRA Waschzeit - 600 ms - Length of first spray

Windshield wiper-SRA Einweichpausenzeit - 2000 ms - Delay (before second spray)

Windshield wiper-SRA Nachwaschzeit - 1100 ms - Length of second spray
