If you cannot determine a cause for the DTC 
"Powertrain databus malfunction, check 
whether the DTC is caused by one of the 
control modules. 
      All control modules that use the CAN-bus are still 
disconnected. Ignition is switched off.  
     
-  Connect one of the control modules.
     
-  Connect VAG 1551 scan tool. Switch ignition on, 
and erase the DTC memory of the control 
module you just connected. End scan tool output 
using the "End Output" function 06. 
     
-  Switch ignition off and then on.
     
-  Leave ignition on for 10 seconds. Then, read the 
DTC memory of the control module you just 
connected. 
     
-  If the DTC "Powertrain databus malfunction" is 
displayed, replace the control module you just 
connected. 
     
-  If the DTC "Powertrain databus malfunction" is 
not displayed, connect the next control module 
and repeat the procedure.
