Bad Alternator / Battery died while driving

[kingbri1]

2010 Jetta TDI 150xxx miles

Had a bad alternator that was intermittently charging. While driving the alt quit altogether and then the battery died while driving. Have since had the alt and battery replaced. Now the car is in a low power mode (limp mode?) throwing the following codes as scanned by my VCDS. None of these were present prior to the battery dieing... Are these issues related to the car shutting down?

All Electrical connections look fine and connected. Its just very suspicious that none of these codes showed until the batt died and the car unexpectedly shut down... thanks for reading...

Double check the plugs and wiring for the asv, that's right there by the alternator, and could have been damaged/disconnected when the alternator was replaced.

 

[kingbri1]

Thanks... I checked all connectors everything seems connected and tight. Any idea which code would cause the low power mode? I was assuming the MAP one... The MAF electrical connector is broken so I haven't had a chance to check that out yet

Oh, so are there other codes that didn't make it on there? Looks like it must only be a partial scan. I'd have to look at the wiring diagrams, but with that, i think there is a common fuse for each of those, which if blown would set those codes. I'm not 100% sure on that, I'd have to check the diagram for your car.

Any idea which code would cause the low power mode?

Learn how to read your scan.... the info is there

One component of Freeze Frame data is the Fault Priority number as described below:

Number​	Meaning​
0​	Undefined by manufacturer.
1​	The fault has a strong influence on drivability, immediate stop is required.
2​	The fault requires an immediate service appointment.
3​	The fault doesn't require an immediate service appointment, but it should be corrected with the next service appointment.
4​	The fault recommends an action to be taken, otherwise drivability might be affected.
5​	The fault has no influence on drivability.
6​	The fault has a long term influence on drivability.
7​	The fault has an influence on the comfort functions, but doesn't influence the car's drivability.
8​	General Note

I get what you are saying here but they all have the fault priority is 2... so they all are causing the same " immediate service appointment " requirement.

 

[kingbri1]

Probably boost pressure regulation codes, I've seen a couple of throttle bodies fail, they cause a host of issues.

Try do an adpation of the throttle body, if it fails replace it. Should be under channel 10 I believe

Adaptation for the throttle body gives me nothing.. no sound ...no output... probably a sign...

I get what you are saying here but they all have the fault priority is 2... so they all are causing the same " immediate service appointment " requirement.

You're not showing the full scan or all the codes...... I don't know about the rest around here, but my crystal ball is broken.

 

[kingbri1]

Fair Enuf.. there were really no other relevant codes... this is the rest of the one at the bottom

[kingbri1]

Do you have any warranty left? Vw should change it as it's part of the emissions system.

I don't think so. I am still within the mileage but I am over 4 years since the fix was applied

 

[TurboABA]

Once again, learn how to rear what you're looking at for clues.

 

[TurboABA]

I don't think so. I am still within the mileage but I am over 4 years since the fix was applied

Run your vin in the online tool to make sure

 

[TurboABA]

OP, you should really look up the definition of full scan.... Lots of info missing from this puzzle.

 

[kingbri1]

As requested... most recent FULL scan..

Did you reset the codes before you did the adpation? It wont work if code is active. If code comes straight back I'd start looking at a failed throttle body

Tried clearing codes .... P2101 would come straight back.. Adaptation still produces no results

 

[kingbri1]

I have a Bentley manual as well and have been scouring the wiring diagrams.. I can’t find a blown fuse anywhere. I really do appreciate all the tips !

 

[Tdijarhead]

You may have just changed the battery and alternator but I still see low voltage on your latest scans 12.01 and 11.48 . Low voltage can cause weird codes and may be why the adaptation won’t work. Try fully charging the battery and then clearing the codes and see what happens.

For the intermittent code, check\clean the connector and look for (and run) output tests.
You could have a dirty connector or a mechanical bind, etc.

I would actually suggest taking things apart, as at that milage, it is very feasible that your valve is gunked up and needs cleaning.

Have a look at this

16622/P0238/000568 - Manifold Pressure/Boost Sensor (G31): Signal too High
Possible Symptoms

• Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) active

Possible Causes

• Wiring/Connector(s) from/to Manifold Pressure/Boost Sensor (G31) faulty
• Manifold Pressure/Boost Sensor (G31) faulty

Possible Solutions

• Check Wiring/Connector(s) from/to Manifold Pressure/Boost Sensor (G31)
• Check Manifold Pressure/Boost Sensor (G31)

Special Notes

• Results when testing on a fully functional CCTA 2.0L TSFI in a 2012 VW Tiguan Key On, Engine Off:
  • G31 unplugged causing 000568/P0238 - Signal too High:
    • T4eh/1 = ground
    • T4eh/3 = 5.05V (5V supply from ECU)
    • T4eh/4 = 5.73V (Signal return to ECU)
  • G31 plugged in and backprobing
    • T4eh/4 = 1.85V (Signal return to ECU)

And here's what you can expect as a result of your valve not funtioning.

Throttle Valve Control Module J338
In the direction of flow, Throttle Valve Control Module J338 is mounted before EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve N18. An electric motor in Throttle Valve Control Module J338 moves the throttle plate with a gear. Adjustment of the throttle is infinite and can be adapted to the respective load and speed of the engine. The Throttle Valve Control Module J338 has the following tasks: In certain operating situations, a difference between intake manifold pressure and exhaust gas pressure is generated through the throttle. This pressure difference facilitates exhaust gas return. In the regeneration mode of the diesel particulate filter, the intake air volume is regulated with the throttle. When the Throttle Valve Control Module J338 motor is switched off, the throttle is closed. Less air is taken in and compressed and the engine shuts down smoothly.

Effect of Failure
If Throttle Valve Control Module J338 fails, there is no regulation of the exhaust gas return rate.
Active regeneration of the diesel particulate filter does not take place.

And that makes me ask if possibly the issue wasn't the alternator, but the alternator fuse, which is a fairly common misdiagnosis. If the fuse is blown, it won't charge. Can't tell you how many times I've seen that in my profession, and customers will insist it's that alternator you just rebuilt for them, not anything wrong with their car.

I had originally suspected this from the start. The alternator didnt work at times and other times it would work fine for an entire trip.
I believe the alternator fuse is on the “multifuse” module on the front of the fuse box in the engine bay (200 amp?). I discounted this because originally the alt was intermittent and I didn’t think a fuse could be intermittent.

Thanks turbo…this is definitely on the list.

SA1 - left corner of the battery box fuse panel - 200A

 

[kingbri1]

Yes.. it’s the multifuse type that I don’t think you can test. Replaced as a whole unit with several other fuses. I’ll try and get one today.

 

[kingbri1]

Just battery tested now….Multimeter showed the batt at 12.1 after sitting overnight. 13.6 after I started and had it running.

 

[TurboABA]

Should be low 14s
Your voltage regulator on the alternator is probably toast.

 

[TurboABA]

Or you have crappy wires\connections..... test the output at the alternator instead of at the battery to see if your cables\connections are the potential issue.... start doing voltage drop tests and isolate your issue.

What brand alternator did you install? That is low, though not extremely low. It should be around 14 volts. 13.5 is the minimum.

 

[kingbri1]

brand new bosch alternator.

So just to switch gears a little I changed the oil and the fuel filter (were due). Took it our for a spin and now I have a new code to add. All others the same. Still low power mode. Drives "fine" just doesn't accelerate as normal.... doesn't rev past 3000

Tough time getting the connector off the MAF (broken tab) and the MAP sensor (tough location to try and remove) to inspect but i will keep trying.

Also will do the volt drop test. I did those prior to the alt change and didnt find anything abnormal.
