I have the 'bad' airbag module so I am hesitant to scan it with VAG-COM. My VAGCOM is prob the oldest version that exists, so there is the risk of cooking the airbag controller if I try to retrieve the code. Any advice from people wiser than me?? I gathered from a quick look-see that the airbag module is coded to the car, so even if I have a standby replacement module there are things I have to do to make it work?
I also swapped out the black Hella Magic Colors tail lights for some GTI tails today.
Then I managed to remove both pairs of stuck wipers, so now I have access to the ECU for further testing on the whole fuel shutoff - intermittent, and the other code that looks like complete nonsense. Implausible signal?? There is no feedback from the supply voltage relay according to the diagram. Just a conditional ground from the ECU to the trigger ground side. Trigger positive side is fed from pin 30 which I verified gets voltage.
Oh wait, spoke too soon... the implausible signal might have to do with something downstream from the glow plug relay that feeds fuse F32 and then goes back to the ECU at pins T121/1 and T121/2. I dunno, it'll all be easy once I get that ECU harness unwrapped and see what's what.
