After replacing the DMF in a DSG yesterday, we had problems with the power steering not recovering properly. Can anyone think of something that we could have done during the DSG replacement that could cause this?
The battery was disconnected for 8 hours or so. No charger was put on it, no effort made to keep any keep alive power to the system.
The power steering would function for a few seconds erratically, then the malfunction indicator would come back on. After clearing the codes on the car we had the remaining issues.
The J500 Power steering Control module is obviously not communicating properly on the CAN bus.
We did unhook the battery again, and in desperation, even touched the positive and negative cables together for 30 seconds or so. Same behavior and same codes still existed.
The fuse to the J500 is good and has power on both sides.
(edit after post #4) Yes, I should have mentioned that we did drive the car, follow the procedure for resetting the steering, lock to lock for 5 seconds each, then straight, then turn off the key, then start and drive straight, repeat until sick. It did not help. The car was driven for more than 10 miles total. (end edit)
Any help in troubleshooting would be appreciated. I barely can spell CAN Bus, much less trouble shoot it. I understand the basic concept, but beyond checking voltages and continuity, I am over my head.
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01309 gives some good starting points. I will take the actions specified in the WIKI (Thanks Ross-Tech!), is there anything else I should do after that, or would I be down to simply replacing the J500 Power Steering module?
Any thoughts are welcome.
