hello guys i need some help.i bought a skoda superb mk2 2010 and i tried to change the cluster from another car just because my speedometer was flashing a bit.when i pluged6the new cluster car started and stoped in a few seconds.i put back my cluster car drives well but i have some errors.i tried to erase them but the one with the steering won't go.it say something about some sensors and because of that error the abs and handbrake and dtc are flashing.any ideas how to get rid of it.thank you in advance

Meaningful title

Can you add an autoscan showing the errors etc you have?

 

I don't think your issue is related to the one I started the topic about 🤔

maybe i am bit off topic.i am sorry.but i have few days now and we can't erase the errors.i will try tomorrow to see if i can get the errors.thank you for your reply.the abs,handbrake and the skidding car are flashing.

Have you tried driving it a hundred meters? Those faults usually come up after a battery change etc and clear after a short drive.

 

Also I’m going to merge threads as you can’t keep posting the same thing in multiple threads. Please keep it to one.

i have been driving the car more than 100 miles in the last days...nothing...

It could be implausible, but usually these come up because:

 

- Fluctuating battery voltages (old/flat battery)

- Battery disconnected

- wiring fault

- Sensor fault

 

If you’ve checked the battery is ok, then I’d suggest you visually check the abs sensors and also get a fault code scanner. This will tell you which particular sensor or wiring might be at fault. 
 

The other option might be a specialist independent or dealer if you can’t track it down.

 

Do you have the actual fault code message?

as my English is not my primary language....when we checked the error...one of thw guy told me something about a sensor behind the steering....it reads that wheels or steering are bot straight....and all this errors came up just because i tried to change the cluster.after puting back my old one the beeped a few times and asked for radio code too maybe something happened in that time.i am trying to get a pic from the guy with the vcds...

not the best pics.

i will upload few nore photos later today .i have a neighbor with different computer .but it reads same errors...will make better photos 

That VCDS install needs updating, free download is here: https://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/download/current.php

 

Please don't upload pictures, just perform an autoscan and save it as a txt file. You can copy the contents of the txt file directly into a post making it much easier to see the state of the entire car.

thank you very much...we will try later today as the guy is away.will keep you posted...thank you very much for all the help ...🙏🙏🙏

One thing to try is turn the steering fully to the left then fully to the right. This calibrates the steering angle sensor which is important for the stability control functions.

Going back to your original post, the cluster includes the immobiliser, so the cluster you swapped in will not be matched to the car and won't allow the engine to run. It will start and run for a few seconds before cutting out.

 

I don't know what tools can be used to reset amd match the immobiliser. From what I know, only dealer tools or ODIS can do it because VAG require the tool to phone home for security reasons.

Not only that, changing clusters frequently causes ABS modules to forget their coding so you might also find out needs recording 🤔

hi guys.i am still waiting for the guy with the vcds to call me .he is away.but my neighbor has computer decent one.buthe problem he doesn't know to work with it to well.i will put some photos with some errors wich they require some codes.im the second pic you can see that it say control module not coded.

fault code is 00003.control module

here is something to read.for who knows how .

superb.txt

Software Coding: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000

 

That's your problem...

 

By replacing the cluster the ABS module has lost it's coding.

 

Obvious options:

- Check for old VCDS scans for this car to see if you have the original coding

- Take it to a dealer and have their system retrieve the coding from the VAG servers

- Try and work out what the coding was

 

There are a few folk on the VCDS forum who can help regenerate an appropriate code assuming it's a genuine interface and fully updated.

i don't have any vcds logs before trying to change the cluster....just been to Skoda dealer and they are full till 12 of December.....do you guys know someone who can retrieve the codes....and today check engine light came up.🤦🤦🤦.if you can point me to someone who can help.would be great. thank you very much.

In which case, if it's a genuine VCDS interface I'd try the Rosstech VCDS forums.

 

They have a sticky regarding similar issues: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/28988/

 

You should post a full unedited autoscan along with the following info:

- VIN (and also make and model, body type)
- Engine type and gearbox
- Brake configuration
- TPMS, ESP button behaviour, XDS, PLA, ACC, etc

 

Just to point out, the txt file you posted is not a full autoscan as it only contains the ABS module.

 

You should also make it clear the code was lost due to changing the cluster and the original cluster has been refitted 👍

ok bro.i will try to do it and upload here... thanks.
