General Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Malfunction Recognition And Malfunction Indicator:

The Comfort System is equipped with On Board Diagnostics (OBD), which makes it easier to perform Fault Finding on the high-mounted brake lamp.

The "Guided Fault Finding" function is to be used for troubleshooting of one of the systems described as in service information "Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System". Refer to VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC TESTER .

NOTE:

Individual LEDs in high-mount brake lights are combined into groups of up to four LEDs and are supplied with power as a group.

The high-mount brake light is designed in such a way that it still meets the legal requirements of the ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) when one LED fails. However, the legal requirements will not be met if an additional LED fails.

When one LED group fails, the function of the intact LEDs are given a higher load, by which failure of other LED groups can be assumed in the near future.

Replace the High-Mounted Brake Lamp Bulb -M25- (Repair Procedure) if more than two separate LEDS have burned out.
