GENERAL OPERATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

VAG vehicles are fitted with 2 types of immobiliser system

System 1 - Consists of a separate immobiliser ECU which controls the

recognition of keys and the Engine Management ECU system. 7

System 2 - The immobiliser is integrated within the vehicle dashboard.

The Immobiliser ECU enables up to 8 keys to be programmed and are

recognised via the transponder aerial mounted around the Ignition lock.

If the keys are lost or a replacement Engine Management ECU is fitted then the
transponder keys will need programming so that the ECU memory recognises
the codes.

PIN CODE

Due to the difficulty in obtaining the pin codes from VW and AUDI dealers,
software has been developed to assist extracting the pin code from the vehicle.

If you have purchased this software for your tester, then you have several
methods of trying to extract the pin code. Pin code reading is a complex area
and constantly being developed.

SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION

To identify the correct system, check to see whether the Dashboard has the
following symbol when the ignition is on :

SYSTEM 1 : DOES NOT HAVE THE SYMBOL

SYSTEM 2 : DOES HAVE THIS SYMBOL

 TIPS & HINTS
VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA

1. When reading Pin codes from vehicle memory, if loss of commu-

nications is experienced, try reading fault codes, then clearing
7 fault codes then read the pin code.
2. If when programming keys, the tester displays the following :—

KEYS PROGRAMMED : 136

This means the incorrect PIN CODE has been entered.

KEYS PROGRAMMED : 0

3. This means that the PIN CODE has been entered incorrectly
more than three times, and the system will need resetting by
leaving the ignition ON for 35 minutes.
4. PIN code reading cannot be immediately followed by coding a
key. You must first disconnect the tester and turn ignition on
first.

5. Immobiliser warning light on all the time (engine starts and

runs) - a correct security code has been entered but the session
has not been closed by programming the keys.

EMERGENCY START

1. Switch IGNITION ON and turn the clock set button to the right
and at the same time press and hold the trip reset button for 1
second.
2. “0000” appears on the display, press the trip button to input the
first digit of the pin code. Turn the clock set button to the right
to move to the next digit. Repeat for all 4 digits.
3. Then with the correct pin code entered turn the clock set button
to the right and press the trip reset button for 1 second.
4. The Immobiliser light will stay on, and the car can run for 45
minutes.

Damage to Tester

Some cases of internal damage to the tester have been traced to 7

a radio wiring fault on VAG vehicles.

VAG cars from 1997 onwards have the ability to code/fault code
read the radio and therefore the diagnostic wire or K line that is
used to connect all of the control units on the car (including the
immobiliser) goes to the radio. If an aftermarket radio has been
fitted, it is possible that this K line may have inadvertently been
shorted to 12v by the after-market adapter harness. This will not
cause any running faults etc with the vehicle, but when you come
along and plug in your tester it will fail to communicate and can
end up permanently damaged.

To test for this problem on vehicles later than 1996, either use a
multimeter carry out the following or use ADC116:

Measure the voltage on pin 7 relative to earth with the ignition

and radio on, if it’s below 9 volts then you are OK to connect the
tester, if it is 12 volts you will need to wire a bulb up between
earth and pin 7. If the bulb does not illuminate it is OK to proceed
with the tester, however if it illuminates then you have a wiring
fault to the radio DO NOT CONNECT THE AD 100!!!!

 REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING
Remote Control Programming (1997 ON)

Procedure
1. Switch Ignition ON and leave the key in the ignition.
7 2. Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a sec-
ond key.
3. Using the remote control press the Unlock button once, and the
horn will sound once.
4. Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate the
coding procedure. The remote control will now be programmed.

NOTE : When performing programming on additional remotes the

procedure is the same, except you press the unlock button 2, 3 or 4
times for the different remote.

For example : If programming 2 remotes press the unlock button

twice with a 1 second interval between each press, repeat for 3 and
4 remotes.

5. Switch Ignition OFF.

6. Remove key from ignition and check for operation.
7. The coding procedure can be repeated up to 4 times for addi-
tional remotes.
8. The ignition must be switched OFF between programming each
remote control.

Remote Control Erasing (1997 ON)

Procedure
1. Switch Ignition ON and leave the key in the ignition.
2. Mechanically lock the vehicle using the Drivers door using a sec-
ond key.
3. Press the remote control lock button 5 times in 1 second inter-
vals. A short horn will sound.
4. Wait 6 seconds and press the unlock button once to activate
memory erase.
5. Switch ignition OFF, all remotes are now erased.
