Adjustment Procedure With Setting Device - Basic Set:Vas 6430/1A Through My 2016

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
Wheel Alignment Computer
ACC Setting Device :VAS6190
ACC Adjuster :VAS6190/2

NOTE:

Before driving the vehicle onto the alignment stand, check if there is enough space between the vehicle and the :VAS6190 . The distance between the :VAS6190 and the vehicle must be 120 cm ± 2.5 cm.

If there is not enough space, drive vehicle the backward on the alignment stand in order to be able to use the space.

Check the DTC memory and correct any malfunctions before beginning the calibration.

The calibration procedure is described here using the :VAS6190 . However the :VAS6041 and the :VAS6041/1 can also be used.

NOTE:

Do not perform the steps under "Calibration procedure without a previous axle alignment" if an axle alignment has already been performed.

Calibration is Necessary if:

The rear axle toe was adjusted.

The Distance Regulation Control Module -J428- was removed and installed.

The front lock carrier was loosened or adjusted.

The impact member was loosened or moved.

There is damage on the front impact member or lock carrier.

The adjustment angle is greater than -0.8° to +0.8°.

Calibration Procedure without a Previous Axle Alignment

-- Connect the battery charger. Refer to BATTERY, CHARGING .

-- Select the Adaptive Cruise Control button on the wheel alignment computer.

-- Mount the quick clamps to the rear wheels.

-- Mount the measurement sensor to the rear wheels.

-- Perform a wheel run-out compensation and the rear wheels.

NOTE:

The :VAS6190 must not be moved on the calibration beam.

Calibration Procedure with or without a Previous Axle Alignment:

Version I

-- Release the catches in direction of -arrows-.

-- Remove the cover -2- from the Distance Regulation Control Module -J428- -1-.

Version II
Release the retainers -1- in direction of -arrow-.

Courtesy of AUDI OF AMERICA, LLC

-- Remove the trim -2- from the Distance Regulation Control Module -J428- -3-.

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

-- Remove all dirt on the sensor lens.

-- Position :VAS6190 at a distance -A- of 120 cm ± 2.5 cm from sensor lens to mirror surface.

-- Mount the front wheel measuring sensors -1- onto the :VAS6190 .

Courtesy of AUDI OF AMERICA, LLC

-- In area -A-, bring item -2- on rotary knob into alignment with marking on mirror (number 2 on rotary knob must face toward vehicle).

-- Now align the :VAS6190 by sliding it sideways in the direction of -arrows B- so that the laser beam is horizontally centered on the senor lens.

-- Adjust vertical slits -4- on :VAS6190 so that laser beam is vertically centered on sensor lens.

-- Adjust the same front axle individual toe settings using fine adjustment screw -3-.

-- The difference between individual toe values must be less than 6' or they must be the same.

-- Bring bubbles -2- on measurement sensor -1- into balance.

-- Now using the laser beam -3-, check if the laser beam contacts the sensor lens.

Version I

NOTE:

If the laser beam meets the center of the sensor lens at this step after adjusting the same individual toe values, the :VAS6190 is aligned correctly (positioned).

If the laser beam does not meet the center of the sensor lens, the :VAS6190 must be aligned again.

Perform Any Subsequent Work Using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester:

VAS PC:

Vehicle Diagnostic Tester is connected.

-- Select the Diagnostic mode and start the diagnosis.

-- Select the Test plan tab.

-- Select the Select individual test button and select the following tree structure consecutively:

Body
Electrical system
01 - On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems
13 - Distance regulation -J428
13 - Distance Regulation Control Module, functions
13 - Adjustment

From here the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester advances the calibration procedure forward.

Version I
Use the bolts -1 and 2- for adjustment in "Guided Fault Finding" .

To adjust the adaptive cruise control sensor, use the :VAS6190/2 .

WARNING:

The adaptive cruise control calibration is confirmed when "Output diagnostic test complete" appears on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

-- Switch ignition off.

-- Disconnect the diagnostic cable connector from diagnostic connection.

-- Disconnect the battery charger. Refer to BATTERY, CHARGING .
