VCDS - Recode or Long Coding - Section 19-A
(VAG 1551/1552 function 07)
Recode is used to set various options in a Control Module. Note: Some Modules require a
valid Login before you can re-code them.
Warning! You should refer to the Factory Repair Manual for your particular car (or some
other documented procedure) before attempting to Recode a Control Module. At the very
least, write down the original values, saving an AutoScan is a great way to do that. There
is no other way to "undo" the values if what you're trying to do doesn't work out.
VCDS can show coding
"charts" when appropriate
information is available in a
Label File for the control
module in question. This data
is shown in a balloon on the
coding screen. ►
