I need some help!
2004 Passat TDI...we were in the mountains and it snowed, then froze, then rained, then froze again. Somehow, water poured into the passenger foot well and FLOODED the TCM. (Sunroof track, battery drain...not sure yet)
The car went into limp mode, but I managed to remove the water and get the car home to Florida. We now have an airbag light and a P0706 code (transmission range sensor-implausible value).
The TCM seems to be OK as does the harness. I have thoroughly cleaned everything with contact cleaner and dried the carpets, insulation, floor pans, etc. There's almost no visible corrosion on the pins. However, the PRNDL display is in reverse video, there is no overdrive, the tiptronic is disabled, and the hole shot off the line is very slow. (in other words...Limp mode)
I don't think the range sensor is damaged...I think this is still something to do with the water intrusion.
So....
Any ideas on why I still have an airbag light and how to further troubleshoot the range sensor error?
Thanks!
