VCDS - Control Module Finder - Section 28-A
This function found in the Applications Screen cycles through each possible address in the
vehicle, finding each controller and reporting its Address number, Name, Protocol, Part
Number, Component Number, Coding, and WorkShop Code.
Note: No one car has all Modules! Newer cars have more, older cars have fewer.
You can scan selected address ranges or use the default starting and ending addresses. If
you check Use CAN Only then the Module Finder will not check for any modules on the K-
line.
[Start] begins the finder. Beware; a "full" scan can take 45 minutes or more.
[Stop] stops the finder.
Results:
If you close the Control Module Finder dialog, any data in its output box will be lost. If you
would like to keep a record, click the [Copy] button first, then you can then paste the
results into the application of your choice, such as MS Word or Notepad.
[Save] This function saves the results to a text file in your Logs directory,
typically in C:\ross-tech\vcds\Logs\
[Clear] This erases your results.
