VCDS - Applications- Section 24-A
The Applications screen contains many handy functions, most of which are described in
individual sections on the following pages.
Check for and erase faults
[Gateway Installation List]
Only available only on Gateways in cars using a direct CAN connection for diagnostics.
This very fast function takes about 3 seconds to query the car's Gateway to find out what
modules are installed in the car and what their status is. Any modules having fault codes
should show a "Malfunction" and will be highlighted in RED. Double-clicking on any of the
Control Module names will open the Fault Codes screen for that controller. This function is
explained in the AutoScan portion of this manual in Section 3.
[Clear All DTCs]
On vehicles using CAN-Bus for diagnostics, when using a HEX interface, VCDS clears all
of the fault codes in all control modules in the car without accessing all the control modules
individually. This function is explained in the AutoScan portion of this manual in Section 3.
The [eMail today's debug/log files] button will open up your default email client, and will
compose a message to [e-mail] with all of the log files and debug files
with the current date.
The [Upload debug/log files] button will open up your default browser to a special page
that allows you upload one file at a time and email it to [e-mail] even if
you do not have an email client installed.
Use [Done, Go Back] to return to the Main screen.
