Eric I know you have to do what’s good for your family. However I have missed your videos very much and always look forward to the next one! I have learned so much from you and I am a semi retired technician. I actually worked as a mechanic in the 1980s and most of the cars that I would see were from the 70s I have spent the last seven years learning from you and Oz! Thank you guys so much for sharing your knowledge and God bless your families!
@@kbaisley4947I have a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta with 2.0TSI. Currently battling with ABS pump/module no communication fault codes. If I get an ABS module/pump from the junk yard that matches the same part number, will it be plug and play like this example??? I have an OBDeleven scan tool but I’m not sure how to pull the coding off the old abs module and put it into the donor module.
I look forward to your videos. I’m a mechanic myself and I learn so much from watching your content. Thank you for all the information you share with us.
With vw whenever the battery is disconnected on reconnection the steering and traction control come on. Driving makes it all reset. Thank for great vid.
Excellent diagnostic and explanation. Very interesting that the Vin number was read by the ABS unit saves a big headache really well presented. Thank you.
Bro, you almost had me with that 95% biodegradable engine comment… great content as always man. Have a much better understanding of troubleshooting cuz of your videos. Gracias amigo!
Thanks for the video. Managed to get an ABS module the exact same code as my original module (been slowly looking for about a year). Had my mechanic install it similar to your video instructions. It worked out well with little fiddling required. 😀
I thought for sure the no comm on the bench was going to be because the scan tool was looking to talk to the abs module through the gateway (which was missing on the bench.) Thanks for showing us the process of coding and getting an old car back on the road!
Eric you have been missed. Hope all is well with you and family. Nice see you challenging the electronics side of the car. I have also embarked down that path just for my own knowledge. I like that go diag . Hope you listed it under the video details. Thanks for sharing 👍 Artie
Excellent video to understand a little more about how to troubleshoot a problem in an ABS module and some measurement values that I had no idea about. Thanks for uploading it. Regarding the auto-adaptation, I think that perhaps it was done automatically because you bought the same part number, although I'm not sure, but I'm glad you were able to get the job done. I hope to find more videos about component measurements, I'm curious and I like to understand how these electronic components work, since I'm an automotive locksmith and sometimes I find defects in certain modules involved. Greetings from Argentina.
Can you test the original module with your desktop set up now that you connected the correct pins? just curious if you soldering fixed the issue. Thanks!
What I thought was funny is when I changed my abs module on my 2006 f150 , I put a used one in and funny thing, it worked perfectly, I scanned it with Forscan and the only error I had was a vin # mismatch. But it worked perfectly.
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO yeah, I know, but I thought it was cool that the vehicle just accepted the information that the module was sending it even though it wasn’t programmed correctly
Originally when the Tier 1 automotive module suppliers (mainly from Germany) wanted to do press fit connector pin attach style, the story was the technique would only be used on low cost non-critical control modules like HVAC or Radio, etc. Well, obviously this no longer holds true, and the technique of the pressed fit pins for many lead OEM engineers, required the pins be soldered for critical systems from the supplier. So, somehow this particular module did not have an experienced systems engineer on the component qualification. The first step is to verify the module power supply is working. The Schottky Diode is most likely used for Reverse Battery protection on the front end of the supply. You can check the diode when it is in circuit live, if drawing current you should see a voltage drop. Doing diode continuity test in circuit is not advisable. Then the next step is to determine the power supply topology and what voltage rails should be present. For the microcontroller you can find the pinout online, and confirm you have the proper supply voltages at the IC. Any power MOSFETs that are not part of the CAN interface should be saved for last. If the MOSFET is used in the supply than it should be checked. From looking at the PCB, to make CAN work, you only really need the microcontroller powerup and the CAN interface IC operational.
Another great video Eric, thank you very much. A little bit of transistor and rectifier theory, I love it! I need to get a scan tool like that! Cheers from Ontario, Canada, stay cool!
All great except I'd have really liked to have seen the old module back on the scan tool after you discovered your miswiring just to double check it after your repairs to it...
Yeah, I did not think of doing that at the time. I still had a lot of other repairs to do on the car so I kind of just moved on after replacing the module. Thanks for watching!
The quality of this channel is amazing! So much to learn from watching your videos. Question, where did the coding information get sourced from? Did you need to have a VW service subscription or does launch have the information on their servers? Also, would your older launch be able to code like that?
On the desk, did you count that variable too like ABS modules many cases have the 1 resistor. To make it working you must measure first and then use different resistor if needed to get total right
this is not a funny or stupid bullshit people make on youtube to make money this stuff is legit long life experience u are getting from this amazing guy! sorry for my bad english but thanks eric for ur in depth guide on how to solve this issue!😙😙😙
What would have happened if the coding wasn't done? Reason asking is i have the same problem as in the video but i don't have a scan tool that codes. Excellent video
To do that online phase of coding, do you need an updated subscription to Launch? I find subscription fees for scan tools a game killer because outside of the pro world it's too expensive....
One thing I have noticed about hard drives in computers: If they become defective, you can purchase a new hard drive manufactured the same year and preferably within 3 to 4 weeks of manufacturing date (info on label of HD), same manufacturer off ebay and replace the defective hard drive logic board with the new logic board and the drive is up and running with no lost data.
When you remove the lines from the original pump... is there any way to prevent the fluid from leaking everywhere? Or is it possible to just remove the big bolts that hold the mounting bracket in place and move the whole abs assembly away from the wheel well just enough to remove the module itself, without unplugging the lines from the pump? I am bout to do this on my 2014 Passat. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
To be a good mechanic its 10 % wrenching...90 % use of brainpower....You sir are fenomenal ..keep up the good work...Hello from Sweden 🤗🤗🤗

Never saw an ABS module change it's own VIN code. Very interesting. But then, I've never repaired a European ABS system.
Thanks for the video.
Chrysler/ dodge/ fiat does. Will explain that on the second part of the fiat video
@@OzMechanics Is this common for European vehicles? How about Asian vehicles?

You can't imagine my happiness when I see a new video pops up from you. You have been missed. I'm happy you're back.
This video is gold. Much appreciated for sharing.VW dealer wants $2400 for a new ABS module and $8500 to do the repair altogether.
I love that ability to set up communication with the scan tool on the bench.
9:20 +1 for the Shiner beer glass!!! God bless, Eric!!!
With vw whenever the battery is disconnected on reconnection the steering and traction control come on. Driving makes it all reset. Thank for great vid.
It's always a good day when there's a new ALA video 👌🏽
Hey Eric, good to see you back online :)
It feels good to be back
You lucked out on so many levels! I found this to be very educational, actually.
Excellent diagnostic and explanation. Very interesting that the Vin number was read by the ABS unit saves a big headache really well presented. Thank you.

I'm learning more and more everday about this stuff. I hope to share it with everyone. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant case study , I learned a lot! Very impressed by your in depth troubleshooting and diagram insets of the schematics.
As always your videos are always enlightening to the auto electricians
Good to see you back online brother

Hi Eric you´ve been missing for a few months now and you came back with this fine piece!!!...Great video!!!...Greetings from Venezuela!!!
Dang taking to the next level with the the module split, impressive 👍🏻
wtf bro talk about Indepth diagnostics good job never thought i would test a transistor or mosfet master tech status bro !!!!!
Great video Eric. Learned lots of information, and very entertaining. Thanks for putting out the videos.
Can you test the original module with your desktop set up now that you connected the correct pins? just curious if you soldering fixed the issue. Thanks!
Awesome case study. Thanks for the time you took to teach and share. 👍👍
thank you for letting us in on your diagnosing adventures
What I thought was funny is when I changed my abs module on my 2006 f150 , I put a used one in and funny thing, it worked perfectly, I scanned it with Forscan and the only error I had was a vin # mismatch. But it worked perfectly.
If you have Forscan you can do the "As Built Data" on the ABS module.
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO yeah, I know, but I thought it was cool that the vehicle just accepted the information that the module was sending it even though it wasn’t programmed correctly
Eric good to see you back! Thanks for the little transistor lecture :) appreciate your time.
Oh damn, Eric is back
You are very thorough.
Learnt a lot from this video.
Thank you
If you supply required voltage to module while bench testing and look closely with thermal imager you will see shorted component heating up.
Or you can also put a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on the suspect component, and if it starts evaporating quickly, well then there is your problem !
Nice video, thanks. I'd love to see a component level repair but still learned a lot.
Yes. Changing the vin on the bench is posible. Great video
Nice real nice. Also can you try to do the other module see if it works maybe the pin 20 was crossed and maybe just maybe it works now...
Wow really great video, Thank you! Great information on how to test transistors.
Appreciate the way you explain this man as far as testing com and testing the mosfets super easy to grasp the concept thanks
Good to see you bro I have missed you
Same here! Thanks for watching!

Great video. You went way deep on the electronics but still came back out to the basics. Even the music was good.

@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO Don't blame you for that at all,,, it just would have been interesting..
That Launch Pad V is on my wish list👍 Glad your back. We missed you buddy😁
Make sure you buy the version with the "Smart Link" not the "Smart Box". The Smart Box is no longer supported by Launch.
7:00 subwoofer going absolutely apeshit!!! LOL! Great vid, good sir!!!
Haha! I turned the volume down on the music parts during editing, but it seems like it's still pretty loud when I play it back.
Its about time you are back
“Guy hit with a dodgeball light”……OMG that is priceless!
Enjoyed the troubleshooting method to component level. Thanks!
Thanks for videos your amazing teacher on diagnostic the boss
Wow.. you're an impressive human.
Next level content, Bro! Goin way into the angry pixies on this one. Good stuff.
Good video. I’m having a similar issue with my Passat
Your long term followers seeing you've uploaded a new video after months of silence
" It's been 84 years 😢"
Welcome back man
It’s good to be back
Call it reverse engineering E. Good video bro.
awesome video, great content, good job man , thanks
Very good eric 👍👍👍. All good for you from germany.
Really cool video Eric, thanks!!
WATCHING FROM NEW ZEALAND BRO
Super instructional video. God bless u sirre. Your blessed
Outstanding video, bro.
Wonderful plan to at least see if the ABS was repairable. Wost thing is its a VW...high maintenance vehicles.
Happy viewer fr philippines. Thanks bro.

Thank you ,Eric for your videos 🎉🎉
Just WOW. Great vid. Great work.
ABOUT TIME YOU POSTED A VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Bro I was missing you !
You can program the VIN of the car into a used one no problem. It’s easy with snap on and topdon
On the desk, did you count that variable too like ABS modules many cases have the 1 resistor. To make it working you must measure first and then use different resistor if needed to get total right
Dope Video we need more of these!
You did it again Erik , 👍

Another great vid keep them coming 150k subs here we come 👌
Really nice work appreciate the video
Welcome back ! Great video!
What would have happened if the coding wasn't done? Reason asking is i have the same problem as in the video but i don't have a scan tool that codes. Excellent video
Too cool. Awesome tutorial.
Afternoon Eric
Good afternoon!
Thanks for you vidéo 👍
To do that online phase of coding, do you need an updated subscription to Launch? I find subscription fees for scan tools a game killer because outside of the pro world it's too expensive....
no doubt......."j box" subscription or sub with scanner used to re-code the module.
You're the best brother
Glad you’re back! Great content! Really enjoy your videos

Thanks for the visit
i have the same scan tool awesome video thanks for posting
