Default Replacing g419 accelerameter esp sensor

As I've talked about on my other thread my esp is giving a fault for G419 sensor no communication. I've replaced it but the fault wont clear. Looking in the service manual it says I must use guided fault finding and select replace for the control module. I have a 5051a and a vag com. Is there a way to do this in vcds? See screenshot

Guided fault finding? Replace g419 i cant find it in the software.

it has beem many years but if i recall its either in front of the firewall behind the engine on the right hand side if standing and looking at the car. If its not there, it might be part of the abs system... but i would probably need to see a picture of the replacement part to remember. that was in a 2006 a6 or s6 c6 series.
