There is an irregularity. The indicator lamps go on during the self-
test and then go out. The possible causes are as follows: The voltage supply for the ABS control module -J104- is between 
7 and 10 volts and the vehicle speed is < 6 km/h. Carry out 
"Electrical test", step 21. The DTC "01119 gear recognition signal" is stored in the DTC 
memory. Check DTC memory   page 01

The indicator lights did not go out after the self-test. However, the red 
"brake system malfunction" symbol did not go on. The On Board 
Diagnostic recognized a malfunction, which deactivated the 
ABS/EDL/ASR/ESP. However, the "Electronic Brake Distribution" (EBD) 
remained activated. Check DTC memory   page 01

 . 
The ESP driving test may have been activated   page 01

Check the voltage supply for the red "brake system malfunction" symbol. 
Carry out "Electrical test", step 18. If the control is malfunctioning, see 
the next example for lighted indicator lights. During the last drive, a dynamic malfunction of the wheel speed sensor 
occurred or a malfunction in the ABS return flow pump -V39- occurred. 
In this case, the indicator lights automatically go off after the vehicle is 
started, and has exceeded a speed of 2.75 km/h or a check of the return 
flow pump indicated it is OK.

A DTC is stored in the DTC memory the first time the vehicle exceeds 6 
km/h, if the voltage supply to the ABS control module -J104- is between 
7 and 10 volts and the indicator lights go on. If during the drive, the 
voltage supply to the ABS control module -J104- exceeds 10 volts, the

WARNING!  
The brake system is only partially functional. Because brake pressure at 
the rear wheels is no longer regulated vie Electronic Brake Distribution 
(EBD), the rear wheels can lock even during light braking (excessive 
braking at rear axle). This can cause the rear of the vehicle to break 
loose and thereby cause and accident.  
Note: For vehicles with automatic transmission, the red "brake system 
malfunction" symbol does not appear immediately after the ignition is 
switched on. Instead, the note "Depress brake pedal before engaging gear" 
appears in the display. Press the brake pedal and select a gear. The red 
brake warning light appears, if the light control is working properly.  
A malfunction deactivated the ABS/EDL, ASR/ESP and the "Electronic 
Brake Distribution" (EBD).Check DTC memory   page 01

The traction control indicator light does not turn off after the self-

There is a malfunction that only affects the traction control. The 
ABS/EDL and EBD systems are not deactivated. Check DTC

 . 
Traction control has been switched off using the traction control 
button. If the traction control indicator light does not light up in this 
case, check the switch and the indicator light, carry out the 
"Electrical test", steps 19 and 20. Short circuit to B+ in the ASR/ESP button: The traction control 
indicator light goes out five minutes after the ignition is switched on. 
Carry out "electrical test", step 20. There is a short to Ground (GND) in the wiring that controls the 
traction control indicator light between terminal 31 of the ABS 
control module -J104- and the instrument cluster. Carry out 
"electrical test", step 19.

Code Control Module (function 07)
 
     
After installing a new ABS control module 
(w/EDL) -J104- or a new steering angle sensor 
-G85-, the ESP system must be coded again. 
After the coding, the steering angle sensor 
must be calibrated. 
      The coding of the ESP control module is used for 
adaptation of the control module to the vehicle.  
     Coding is only possible if a dealership number is 
stored in the VAG1551 scan tool. 
     
Note:  
     If the control module is coded with code 00000 or 
with a code that does not match the vehicle, the 
ABS warning light -K47- and the traction control 
indicator light -K86- remain continuously lit, and 
the DTC 01044 - Control module incorrectly 
coded - is stored in DTC memory of the control 
module. 
      Before the control module can be coded, "Login 
Procedure" function 11 must be successfully 
carried out using the VAG1551/1552 scan tool.
