Transport Mode
On vehicles
using CAN for diagnostics, there is a special Transport Mode that is
used by the factory to put the cars into a "sleep" to conserve battery
charge during long periods of inactivity.
[Activate Transport Mode]
Clicking this button will put applicable vehicles into
Transport Mode, shutting down most systems.
[De-activate
Transport Mode]
Clicking this button will "wake up"
applicable vehicles from Transport Mode, powering up most system.
Check for and erase faults
[Gateway
Installation List]
Only available only on Gateways in cars
using a direct CAN connection for diagnostics (like the new A8 and all Golf-5
chassis cars). This very fast function takes about 3 seconds to
query the car's Gateway to find out what modules are installed in the
car and what their status is. Any modules having fault codes should
show a "Malfunction". Modules are directly accessible from this
screen by double clicking on the appropriate line. The following
screen-shot is from a Golf-5 in Europe:
[Erase All DTCs]
On vehicles
using CAN for diagnostics, VAG-COM performs this function without accessing all the control modules individually.
[Controller Channels Map]
Rapidly scans through all 255 possible Measuring Block groups or
Adaptation Channels on any ECU and writes a "map" file. Output is your
choice of .CSV
or .PLB
("Prototype Label, Blocks"). Useful for creating new label files or
taking a "snapshot" of all available data from an ECU.
[EDC-15 Mileage]
On some (but by no means all)
TDI ECUs, VAG-COM can show an independent "odometer" reading stored in
the ECU. This can useful as a means of cross-checking the mileage on
used car at time of purchase, particularly in Europe where odometer
fraud is rampant. We plan to extend this functionality to as many ECUs
as practical in the future.
