If the correct control modules are installed:

- Check to be sure multi-pin connectors of control
modules are securely connected.
If multi-pin connectors are properly secured:

- Check CAN bus system

Checking a "two-line bus system"

Three or more control modules are
communicating across a "two-line bus
system".

- Analyze DTCs stored in memories of control
modules.

Note:
This analysis will help you locate the cause of the
line malfunction.

Example 1:

From the DTCs stored in the memories, you have determined that control
module 1 is not communicating with control modules 2 and 3.
Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & Component Locations Control module
DTCs stored in DTC memories:
1
Missing signal from control module 2Missing signal from control module 3
2 Missing signal from control module 1
3 Missing signal from control module 1
- Switch ignition off.
- Disconnect control modules connected across bus wires and check
bus wires for an open circuit. - Replace control module 1 if no malfunctions can be found in bus wires.

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 control module.

- Connect VAG 1551 scan tool. Switch ignition on,
and erase DTC memory of control module just
connected. End scan tool output using "End
Output" function 06.

- Switch ignition off and then on.

- Leave ignition on for 10 seconds. Read DTC
memory of control module just connected.

- If DTC "Powertrain databus malfunction" is
displayed, replace control module just
connected.

- If DTC "Powertrain databus malfunction" is not
displayed, connect next control module and
repeat procedure.
