Hey everyone! In todays video we take a look at a 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit w/ a 2.5l engine. Some of you may remember, I made a video with this car about 2 years ago. The customers complaint was that the speedometer did not work and the instrument cluster had several warning lights illuminated. In that video we found that the vehicle had a faulty ABS module however because of the cost of a replacement module, the owner did not want to replace it. So the car sat for almost 2 years before he finally decided to have me fix it. So in this video we attempt to repair the original module and we also answer the question “can we program a used ABS module on this VW”?

Yes. Changing the vin on the bench is posible. Great video
Interesting video Thanks
Airbag light is more than likely a broken wire in the door wiring harness boot.. very common on these cars
I would have replaced that capacitor anyway………..that type of capacitor doesn't have to be bulging to be bad. You would be surprised. Rarely is it the eprom; usually, it is a mosfet or capacitor. Sometimes, you can inject some voltage ….12 volts into module (measure what is coming into module from vehicle), and use finger to find the "hot" component. You can use a thermal camera; the ones with best resolution are VERY expensive. Some electronic techs will use 99% alcohol or compressed canned air to find the "hot" component.
Dope Video we need more of these!
Great video Eric. Learned lots of information, and very entertaining. Thanks for putting out the videos.
Great video.
Do you even solder bro lol jk
You can't imagine my happiness when I see a new video pops up from you. You have been missed. I'm happy you're back.
Air bag light is most likely related to the airbag connectors at the seats. It's a known problem on the MK5 Chassis. (High Resistance – there use to be a campaign to fix this back in the day) Sometimes a disconnect and spray with Deoxit will resolve, sometimes you'll have to install a new connector. VW Vortex or similar forums will have the info. Great content and I appreciate your effort to share knowledge with others.
The markings are A = Anode K= Cathode
Too cool. Awesome tutorial.
Thanks for the good info, I really appreciate it
To do that online phase of coding, do you need an updated subscription to Launch? I find subscription fees for scan tools a game killer because outside of the pro world it's too expensive….
I love that ability to set up communication with the scan tool on the bench.
As always your videos are always enlightening to the auto electricians
Call it reverse engineering E. Good video bro.
I thought for sure the no comm on the bench was going to be because the scan tool was looking to talk to the abs module through the gateway (which was missing on the bench.) Thanks for showing us the process of coding and getting an old car back on the road!
