WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Volkswagen Touareg and 2010 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required

Battery Charger:VAS5908

NOTE:

If software updates or flash campaigns/actions must be performed on a vehicle, a charger with at least 70 A must be used in order to avoid problems during software updates and flash campaigns/actions.

Battery Charger:VAS5903 . Refer to BATTERY CHARGER .

Battery Charger:VAS5908 . Refer to BATTERY CHARGER .

The >>AUTO MODE<< serves to maintain the voltage in the vehicle electrical system (retention charge) during flashing or diagnostic procedures, for example. With integrated load detection, the :VAS5908 recognizes if a battery or an electrical consumer is connected with resistive load when in >>AUTO MODE<<.

Starting Power Supply

NOTE:

If the charging clamps are connected to an electrical consumer or a battery before turning on the charger, the :VAS5908 will start automatically after turning it on with maintenance charging in >>AUTO MODE<<.

-- Switch the :VAS5908 on.

-- With the ←↓ buttons, select AUTO MODE and confirm with the ENTER button.

-- Connect the red charging clamp "+" to the vehicle battery positive terminal.

NOTE:

On vehicles with a Start/Stop system and an installed Battery Monitoring Control Module -J367-, the black charge terminal "-" must be connected to the body ground.

When connecting to the battery negative terminal, the Battery Monitoring Control Module -J367- is bypassed. Malfunctions in the Start/Stop System may result.

-- On vehicles with a Start/Stop System, connect the black charging clamp "-" to the body ground.

-- On vehicles without a Start/Stop System, connect the black charging clamp "-" to the vehicle battery negative terminal.

-- Connect the charging clamps on the electrical equipment with an resistive load.

-- Select START in the menu using the ←↓ buttons and confirm with ENTER to start the supply.

NOTE:

The :VAS5908 automatically adapts to the thresholds of power and voltage for the auto mode.

Ending Supply

-- Select STOP in the menu using the ←↓ buttons and confirm with ENTER to stop the supply.

-- Switch the :VAS5908 off.

-- Disconnect the black charging clamp "-" on the battery charger from the vehicle battery negative terminal or from the electrical equipment.

-- Disconnect the red charging clamp "+" on the battery charger from the vehicle battery positive terminal or from the electrical equipment.

-- Remove the charger connector.
