Controller Info
Once the communications session has been established, all of the Control Module’s
"Identification" data is presented here.
 VAG Number is the VW/Audi part number for this controller. All of the digits, both
numbers and letters, make up the part number. In some cases this number may
be different from the number on the sticker on the module itself, specifically if the
module has been reflashed by a dealer per a service campaign.
 Component contains more identification information about the controller and
may contain a version number for the controller's internal firmware. The firmware
level is also known as the software version for the controller. In the above
example, the software version is 0010 since these are the digits shown at far
right in the Component field.
 Soft. Coding is the Software Coding that determines various options for the
controller. Note: Some older Control Modules are not "codeable" and you may
see a Bosch part number or other information in this field. In modules that use
Long Coding you will need to click on the [Coding - 07] button to see the current
Coding value.
 Shop # identifies the WorkShopCode ( WSC) stored in the scan-tool that
performed the last Coding or Adaptation procedure in this Control Module.
 The Extra fields can show VIN and Immobilizer information or slave controller
part numbers in some vehicles.
Basic Functions
This grouping of "Safe" functions is used to read various data from the Control Module
without making any changes.
Advanced Functions
These functions are capable of making various changes to the Control Module. You should
refer to the Factory Repair Manual for your particular car (or to other
documented procedures) before "playing" with these functions. It is completely possible to
render your vehicle inoperable or damage components if you make changes in this section
without the correct information and training.
It is normal for some buttons to be grayed out on some control modules. This is an
indication that the control module in question doesn't support those functions. Each of the
function buttons is detailed on the following pages.
Use [Close Controller, Go Back - 06] to properly close the communications session and
return to the Select Control Module screen.
