VAG-COM
Adaptation
(VAG 1551/1552 function 10)
The Adaptation function allows
you to alter certain
values and/or settings in control modules
which support it.
Warning!
You should refer to the Work Shop Manual for your
particular car
(or some other documented procedure) before
"playing" with
the Adaptation function. However, many
available Adaptation
Channels are totally undocumented!
You can use the Up an Dn
buttons next to Channel Number
to scroll through all
99 possible channels, or you can manually
enter a channel number
and click Read. If a channel exists,
VAG-COM will
show you the Stored Value. If a channel does
not
exist, the Stored Value will show as "N/A". Other data
the
controller may or may not send will be decoded and
shown in the
four display fields at the top of the screen.
Once you have reached a channel of
interest, you can use
the Up and Dn buttons next to
New Value to incrementally
change the value. Or you
can directly enter a New Value
and click Test. This
will tell the controller to temporarily
use the new value so you can
evaluate it's effects.
When you are satisfied with the
effect of a New Value,
you can store it in the Controller
permanently by
clicking Save.
Note: Channel 00 is a special
case. Performing a
Save to Channel 00 resets all
adaptation values
to their original factory defaults.
Note: Some Engine and
Immobilizer controllers will
require a valid Log-In
before permitting you to Test
or Save Adaptation
values.
Examples of things you can do with Adaptation:
* Altering the Idle Speed (only SOME
engines)
* Changing the Service Intervals and resetting the
Service
Reminder Indicators (newer instrument clusters)
*
Disabling/Enabling various components
of the Airbag/SRS
system.
* Changing the sensitivity of the Interior Monitor (Sonar
Scan)
component of the Alarm System in many newer Audis.
* Swapping ECU's and re-matching
keys
(newer immobilizer-equipped cars)
Procedures, see:
http://tech.vw.com/pdf/v019911.pdf
*
Selecting certain Central Locking options in newer VW's.
Example,
see: http://tech.vw.com/pdf/01-98-16.pdf
Shareware Limitation(s)
The Unregistered/Unactivated
version of
VAG-COM will only allow access to the first
9
Adaptation Channels (out of 99 possible).
The Save Function is
Blocked.
