problems after installing a tow bar

[lorre07]

Hello,

 

I just installed a tow bar with cable from ECS ( ecs VW146D1 ).

 

So after installing everything on the car, the car was a bit of a christmas tree with al the lights and faults.

 

i began to code the car.

 

CAN gateway - Enable 69-Trailer

 

BCM - Controller 09 - Enable Byte 1 Bit 1 - Trailer Hitch control module installed

 

Engine - this may vary between engine types - Enable Byte 5 Bit 4 - Trailer installed

 

ABS - Adaptations - change Vehicle & Trailer Stabilisation to Activated

 

Park Assist - Byte 3 - Change to 01 Trailer Hitch Installed (manually removable)

 

Byte 1 - Set to 01 - Trailer connector diagnosis active

 

then there was Trailer - Byte 3 - Choose the appropriate option , but i does not open the trailer menu, so i cant code this one.

 

 

but now after coding everyting the car stil has a phew faults that dont go away.

so i made a log of the faults ( it is in the attatchment )

 

is there someone that can help me diagnose the problem.

 

kind regards

lorenzo

The car is not picking up module 69 -trailer.

Have you checked for power, ground, canbus at the module?

 

And  are you  sure that module is even suitable for the car, ive personally never heard  of it.

Hi,

 

Sorry i totally forgot about the post i made.

 

I called the dealership to bring the car in so they could fix it.

When i drove the car for like 200 meter i started to notice that some lights go out.

And the dash gave me a fault for start/stop system.

 

I parked the car on the side of the road and turned ignition off, waited a few seconds and turned it back on.

All the lights where gone.

 

Drove back to my house and plugged the VCDS cable back in.

Most errors where gone and after a clear DTC i had no errors left.

 

So i don't know what happend there butt yeah it's fixed 😅.

 

ECS is a dutch company that makes cable's for trailers.

It is a well known company, but i am not sure if they ship there cable's across the world.

So it is normal that you did not heard of it.

 

Thanks anyway 👍
