- Confirm entry with the -Q- button.
The control module identification number with the relevant letter index, code number and workshop code is displayed.
| 6Q0 909 605 A AIRBAG VW 3-OM V03 → Coding 12345 WSC 00066 |
If the contents of the display are as shown then the coding is successful.
If the control module code number entered is not accepted, then the "FAULT" and the "code xxxxx not accepted" will be displayed, e.g. 00200:
Indicated on display:
| FAULT → Coding 00200 not accepted |
In this case the control module has not been programmed with the relevant data for the vehicle. Coding is then not possible. The Airbag Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K75- will not extinguish and lights up continuously. A check must then be completed to see if the correct control module for the vehicle has been installed (compare Part No. and letter index), or whether an incorrect code number has been entered.
