Default What The F#$%! Need help with my set up

I had posted earlier today about my problem and someone was nice enough to try and help but the login that was given to me for vag com still did not work.

My current car is a 2000 S4/Tip
I have a "B" box that is recoded to "AA" box
I am running a Hitachi sensor upgrade and the "AA" box is a Giac File.

Now my problem is this when using vag com i get 3 codes 18058-18058-18321.
Basically errors to the instrument cluster and abs signal i think.

I have tried to log in with vag com using code 11463 but when i go to recode the ECU it says the value is invalid. I tried using 06611 for no ESP. But it not let change it.
My current ECU codeing is 06751.

Now i am Noob when it comes to this Vag com.
Am i even supposed to be doing what i am trying?
After doing numeous searches it seems the codes are thrown because of the ECU change and Hitachi sensor maybe?

What i want is to make the codes go away and still be able to keep my hitachi sensor upgrade.

Any help on this is appreciated as i am afraid to drive my car because i am afriad my brake will go out on me be cause of the DTCs.

Again thanks guys!

Default The brakes won't stop working, but you may not have ABS functioning....

during an emergency stop.

Default Yes if course, but I was addressing only your concern that the brakes would stop working while..

driving the car. Non functioning ABS does not render the car undrivable, and remember that there are millions of cars on the road without ABS. Hopefully, someone at Ross-Tech can help further here.

Default Start by posting a complete AutoScan.

Also have you checked with your tuner to see if those errors are "normal" when using a MAF that was never intended for use with that ECU?

Default AutoScan shows more than just fault codes.

It will allow us to see details regarding which modules are installed in your car, how they're currently coded, and what (if any) fault codes are present.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/tour/autoscan.html">http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/tour/autoscan.html</a</li></ul>
