Default VCDS - CENT. ELECTRIC & CODING

FOLKS I AM WONDERING:
(1) USING VCDS IN SELECTING -SELECT MODULE => (9) CENT. ELECTRIC ,
How can I tell if the soft. coding options are correct.. I suspect that there may be an issue which is driving issues with running lights & with headlight washers.

also the Adaptation option there is greyed out .. (so I cannot adjust frequency of headlight washers to try and disable)... why would it be greyed out ??

thanks for any insight ..

James

I believe that you can not do an adaptation of that module, but do all of it through the coding.

If I am thinking correctly this module has the long coding, and there is a long coding helper that will almost walk you through the coding.

In the helper just go through the selections to see if the correct options your car has are selected or not.

If the coding isn't correct it will throw an error code for it.

Are there any error codes now?
