does anyone know what couses this problem in the loking module??


can be something simple like a micro switch

[FXless]

It's a common fault on B6. you have to go to VW to change entire steering column.

[smokinjoe]

you can repair this fault by firstly buying a new ignition switch then remove the steering column and desolder the microswitches from the steering lock and use the new ones from your new ignition switch to replace them.The steering lock has sheared security screws so you'll need to grind a line through them so you can remove them with a flat screwdriver,also look out for a spring loaded security catch in the steering lock of which you can just remove and file it in the bin,then rebuild,i hope this doesn't sound too complicated as its not,i'd estimate a 2 hour in and out repair which can be a good profitable job as all you need to buy is the ignition switch for about 30 euros,i think vw charge is about 1500 for this job so it leaves you with room for a nice profit.
this problem only occured in 2005/6 passats and was modified thereafter.
hope this helps.:smokin:

[swat cat]

so.... the switches are the problemes in the steerig lockig module... but it`s a little weird to but a new ignition switch to repair the immo.... can`t i find in the commerce?

[Electroniccar]

Beware of this self-repair. I hope you drive past there was no steering lock

[smokinjoe]

yes it is the switches that are faulty and you could buy them aftermarket just i didn't find a supplier so i found it easier to do it this way as they are the same,as for the safety of this repair i haven't experienced any problems of steering locks activating as all you are really doing is replacing faulty microswitches but still this decision has to be up to the person whos doing the repair at the end of the day.
regards.

[Viliuxxx]

Can where that saw where it is possible to buy new microswitches ???

[ssivov]

problem is nearly always the mechanical switches

[Viliuxxx]

And where it is possible to buy them the new switches ?

[jset]

yes it is the switches that are faulty and you could buy them aftermarket just i didn't find a supplier so i found it easier to do it this way as they are the same,as for the safety of this repair i haven't experienced any problems of steering locks activating as all you are really doing is replacing faulty microswitches but still this decision has to be up to the person whos doing the repair at the end of the day.

[mlulic]

How to make with VCDS (procedure)

[branimirj]

No way with VCDS.Try with Vac5054 with GEKO(online coding).Pozdrav iz Srbije

[mlulic]

I am interested in VCDS NO VAS

[swat cat]

yes today i buy 75eur,but how to coding new unit?
it`s the same part number as the one from your car?

[cheaper]

Hello,I am interested in your research,because of few cars what came back after replacing switches.Can you tell us more about your method?Thanks!

[Floyd]

Interested in this post. I have a new electronic steering lock that has been replaced and awaiting for a auto locksmith to adapt to central convenience via GeKo.

Now if I can get the SKC I believe its possible using VCDS for adaption procedure.

My question is, can it be retreived from a eeprom inside the old steering column lock module? It must be inside, if so, where?

[dego1500]

OK, here's the fix :

On the steering lock unit there is a 10 pin connector which can be acessed by removing cover above pedals. There are 2 wires coloured RED/YEL, (The large one is for power supply to steering lock, the smaller is ground signal to steering column unit to release ignition cycle and immo verification)
There is also a large BR/BLK wire which is ground.

Procedure :
1. Insert key in slot and press until you achieve successful ignition (all lights on dashboard-This means steering lock is now disengaged).

2. Connect 'small' red/yel wire to 'large' br/blk wire on steering lock connector.

3. THAT'S ALL FOLKS !!! You have now permanently disabled the steering lock, so no more problems with it failing to disengage. No need for new lock, and dreaded immo matching procedure


You may have to try step 1 a few times depending on how intermittent your problem is. Best to try with wheels pointed straight ahead.
Connector does not allow much room, so will have to lie on your back while you work or alternatively, remove other panels to get a more comfortable access.

Plz see attached wiring diagrams for clarification.

Don't forget to say THANKS.

[cammy25]

Nice thinking there mate!

Did you try to disconnect battery and connect it again??
does it still accept this "mod" ???

[dego1500]

Should still work ok, because motor is at rest when connected to ground, since it is now permanently connected to ground, it shouldn't energise even if battery is disconnected and reconnected.
Customer hasn't complained about anything since, been over a week now...

Cheers.

[swat cat]

you cut the little red yello wire? and from the steering module side put to the ground?


but if you have problems with IC from the box i think it doen`t woks.

[cammy25]

Problem is not IC but switch mate......



I think its best to try the battery thing....if its ok then it will be always ok. My concern is not in wiring or manipulation, but software routines.

[simon77]

i have just repaired one now that woulnt start no mater what i tried
removed sterring lock repaired switch and motor now works fine.
tried the bypass out put red yellow wire to ground ,bypass works fine. disconected battery for 5 mins reconect still works fine.
looks like battery disconection dosnt effect the bypass:congrats:.
i purchased a new sterring lock from vw uk not expensive at all. does anyone know if we can install this part just for future it would be good to know.
vas says need to replace immo lock and reprogram

you don't 'cut' the wires, just connect them with another wire.

Cheers.

[cammy25]

OK great ...then its an official solution!!

[branimirj]

I think this is not 100% working solution

[phatty123]

why not? did you try?

[fryderykbab]

get new lock at vw cheaper and faster only ?60 for lock

[simon77]

the lock is cheaper but have you tried to fit and program it!
i tried the by pass and is working fine .i also have braught new lock taken motor and micro switches fitted to old lock and also working fine.
but trying to fit new lock vas will not allow you to program it.

[petem]

Have the same problem just started on my 2006 Passat B6. I will attempt to access the steering locks 10 pin connector tommorow and attempt by-pass. Thanks for your great input and advice!

[Speed Fixx]

Thank-you very much! I had no info on my very expensive data base and this is what I needed to fix it. Just follow instructions closely and connect "small" yel/red to "Big" brn/blk. Do NOT connect both big ones together.

[zogldi]

Working solution, all is O.K.

[nickmihai]

Is there a solution to program by yourself the module instead the dealer ? None ?

[Eight]

Great solution, it works tested :D

if anyone has virgin dump for steering column hc908az32 mask l52h

[Maxpower50]

I have a few questions regarding this Pross, I have the same car Passat 2006, steering wheel lock is on, If one is to cut the red and connect the brown / black, I from Contackt or wiring?,

Poblemet has not helped me. How do you turn the steering wheel when the steering lock on, am I ignorant of, for screws for air bag / steering wheel is on the back of the steering wheel and I'm not going until I get tripped steering wheel lock.

How can i Relese The Lock ? Suggestions welcome Haha

Message Defective Steering lock appears in the display, I can not diagnose the car either because I do not get the ignition on? Link Error appears in the display of diagnostic tests.

Thanks for all the help that pops up here,

[jruibarroso]

great !! 100% WORKING SOLUTION !!:beer:

[Maxpower50]

ok No suggestion onley funny haha

[z786]

i did one of these last year, got the "bypass" method off a VAG forum, in winter the "bypass" plays up and while driving the car unexpectedly cuts out, make sure the earthing is good :)

I think your problem is different. You should still get diagnostics with cc module and steering lock module without full term.15 ignititon. Just insert key and then make communication with tool, after about 5 mins communication is then cut, to restart just reinsert key.. If you still cannot get diagnostics to cc module (which i think is also gateway on this module) , then you need to check fuses, wiring and diag socket. If still no communication, you will need to get hold of proper wiring diagram to check cc module input signals.
What is the story on this car, is it accident damage repaired, etc?
If you do acheive communication with cc module then check status of key, and steering column module.

Cheers.

[dashtec]

not so long ago i tried the bypass method, had intermiting isuue, sometime fine other time no start. also when arming alarm indicator lights dont flash.

so i purchased new esl opened old esl put to oneside, open new esl removed eeproms from old unit and installed to new unit, everthing fine.

pretty simple procedure but work, all coding info is in old unit. so no coding required.

common prob are micro switch, i find it better to change eeproms

dont have pics sorry, if you need help pm me

[z786]

how many eeproms did u transfer

Please send me the new virgin dump for steering column lock hc908az32 mask l52h

Gojko And Dashtec

I am looking for steering column lock hc908az32 mask l52h

But have not found it either in Steering wheel lock unit or other components in VW passat

Where is it in the case.? From what I've seen now as the new revisions to more of these parts to trade

Like to now which eeprom Dashtec Solder off and change

Photos from the steering wheel lock Down on the steering column. And The last two pics its from the
Control unit for steering column electronics J527.

[boukad]

hi friend
chonge juste les swiutche elv

[simon77]

just change over micro switches from new elv to old change the motor refit to car and all will be ok
regards

[Maxpower50]

We've tried Micro Switches change but is cut for other solutions to this problem, eeprom swap is a good choice but you need to know what to replace. And yes have read most but need answers to eeprom swap

[dashtec]

change following eeprom not sure which hold the immo data but i changed these 2 everything fine

[Maxpower50]

Cheers.

Last question on this issue before I conclude, I have replaced the steering wheel lock, and I've replaced the control unit for steering electronics, but only get Link error in diagnosis, what more can there be when the car just died out after having been in garage for 14 days, when we diagnosed right after this happened, there was communication on the diagnosis, then popped up the control problem in display of dasjbord, after which no communication, is now changed this it would surely be comm but can yield something and say with the communication? Have checked all fuses etc, what more can I do before I quit?

[Maxpower50]

We now have indulgent error in the trade wind here has been much here and there with. There have been a fault with the steering wheel lock. To find and use the solution by dego1500 requires that, steering wheel lock Down on the steering column, the wheel of this must be completely down for the micro switch on one is inside and the other is released. So if you have opened this box and clean it, or switched micro switches ensure that it is in the correct position for it to work, Unless this is done, you risk the same problem as I have described here, no communication at diagnosis so everything is just nonsense. to those who want to send this description of pm.

Thanking all involved for any input that has come here on the forum.

[chriskross]

have heard there is already solution to adapt with vcds.
but you have to contact ross tech directly and they give these instructions only for company.

maybe someone can contact them?!:top:

you need buy Ignition switch from dealer for spare. And use this micro switches. ~40 pound.

[CIRCUIT.FR]

HI

For you, It is better to change microswitch or bypass?

Thanks

[jruibarroso]

change microswitch for shure is the best solution. For my experience (6 cars) not all work 100% with by pass , in fact only 1 costumer didn't claim about it , others have column steering errors , messages on BC and waring beeps

[elmaro]

Hi.
Here are the microswitches:

I think with shipping is the same price as you can buy from dealer new ignition key switch and use this micro swich to replace all 2 micro switch in steering lock. And one switch left as spare. For next time :)

Thank you for your answer. But what i really need are the switchs here in Agentina. Do you know if somebody knows how to look up these switchs in the Internet?.

when you buy this unit you can remove micro switch and use to repair you steering lock.

see post #85 link, here you can buy from Poland, but i think is little bit expensive for 2 switches Way you need order ignition lock and replace from it, to steering lock PCB.

[ROBERTby2000]

1) In many passat it`s working solution.... 100%
2)but I have one that does not work.I think it is cc
In many casa the column work....but some times in display show: steering column defective and the car not start. I erase the dtc....and work again.
3)In the past ... did not bypass ...just change the switch.and made ***8203;***8203;the same problems.another electrician changed the cc and the car work 100%
what it`s not working in cc ?
some solution?
thanks

Need Help!
Have a passat with Steering Column Lock Defective error.
Have changed ESL to other.
Have tried bypass. (After ignition off, error on screen, but car starts)
From time to time, in immobilizer appears Column lock defective error and immo starts to block ECU. ESL do not responds when key is inserted.
Also, some times ESL hangs up in Unlocked mode, then I can turn on ignition. Other times it hangs up in LOCK mode Then I cant turn on ignition.
BUT if I erase that trouble code, car starts OK, ESL works all the time when I insert or remove the key.
If I leave a car for a while, error can pop up after hour, or after 2 days. Then I once again need to erase fault from immo and can start car again.
Also, when something goes wrong, ESL dont even try to work when I insert key, so this is definitely not a ESL switches problem.
Bypas works with error on screen after ignition off. No errors in immo, BUT, after 2 days once again fault code appeared in immo and car ECU was blocked till I erased fault code.
What to do???
What other module can be defective?

did you change ESL to new? or second hand?

[proaudio]

Second hand unit. Swapped MCU and fitted in to the car.

[treo]

Second hand unit. Swapped MCU and fitted in to the car.
Change microswich with new one.

[markovojvodic]

I dont know why you risk repair steering column , bcs now it cost with exchange in VW service about 100E brand new , and no one can blaim you for nothing after.

Before you should change complete steering column ant i cost about 700? , now its max 100? ?

Why bother , ***

take it there and its 100% and new for only 100????

[proaudio]

Switches changed. Same results. Looks like that problems appears after car wake ups from a sleep.
Our local dealer charges 120Eu for lock and 110Eu for labor + 50Eu to get to a dealer.

[markovojvodic]

And if you fix this you can charge what 100e ?
Does it makes any sense to lose so much time for this money and you cant be 100% sure its ok ?

yes is the best now, but old solution was fixing old one, because price be very high for it

[Iggie]

The best solution is to remove micro switch and bridge it... ;-) Who else needs to have locked steering wheel? Lol

[lagas]

maybe some one wants it. But i every time try to do system to work properly how it is created. Immo off when you can't fix it, airbag always work properly no resistors and every thing else....

it's my way ;)

[Iggie]

I agree, but not all customers are ready to pay... It is sad, but true! Hard times, my friend...

[Diagnosticated]

The block motor method cannot be used in UK because car won't pass MOT.

[Diagnosticated]

Has anyone managed to buy a new esl and code it to the car with VCDS? How do you do it? UK price for esl 100 euro and fitting/coding at VW 300 euro so that's 400 euro total.

when I put the key in the ignition nothing happens
there are no lights lamps in the dashboard

the car can not read VCDS....?

no power supply terminal 15 is present
-all fuses checked ok
-relay power supply terminal 15 is replaced

if I supply terminal relay 15 connects, then will burn lights in dashboard

Steering colom is not free to start, steering lock

does anyone know where this problem, and
I should go find problem. :hmmmm:

Tnx
Tiguan

No power on relay 15 usually means the microswitch in the steering lock is not working properly. Simple test. Turn on ignition and hit bottom of steering column gently, rubber mallet or something. This usually shocks the microswitch into working.

[tiguan]

what you say, I also tried no success

I do not know its error:
-steering colom broken
-key lock
-boordnet BCM
-wiring broken

[Diagnosticated]

If you power terminal 15 can you run VCDS to look at steering lock in VCDS? Somewhere you can see terminal switching code.

here is a dump from a brand new comfort immo box with part number 3C0959433R 3C0959433AR, needs coding and adapting and dont forget to deactivate transport mode. open up the box and write this dump to the st95320 eeprom inside.

Somebody know how to fix this steering wheel units? I have many costumers with problems in his passat( horn don't work or buttons from the steering wheel....) i pay for a good solution but my customer are waiting.

Thanks in advance mates

That is most likely Airbag clock spring problem, very common on new VW cars.It has nothing to do with Steering lock.

[danielboom00]

The clock spring is not the problem for this car, my costumer change many units of this type in another cars and know the problem, but ask me about if possible to fix?

Thanks

[Diagnosticated]

Scan steering wheel electrics 016 with vcds. Look at 003.1 to see what the terminals are doing.
e.g.
003,1,Terminal Status
; ?xxxx = P-Contact
; x?xxx = S-Contact
; xx?xx = Terminal 75
; xxx?x = Terminal 15
; xxxx? = Terminal 50

[magdyman]

Many thanks for this simple solution

[tiguan]

does anyone know the Procedures with VCDS how should I read, after replacing New Electronic steering lock ELV. and how to get the PIN code?

thanks for your advice

Does anyone have virgin dump for ELV with Elmos chip inside?

[chriskross]

Does anyone have virgin dump for ELV with Elmos chip inside?


do you have a programmer which can read it ?????

[tuning4ecu]

Ok :)
Forget about that, I just looked over BeeProg and did'nt found anyting related to that chip.
I'm wondering if it even contains some memory that can be readed or writed over CAN. My gues is that it has a fixed id that needs to be adapted in confort module. Tomorow i will give a try with virgin dump for confort module posted by sim1234.
My problem is that the car i'm working on right now was damaged by water and someone has replaced some modules in the car including confort and ELV, but without the programmed key for them.
I will try to enter pin from ECU and then adapt on chanel 50 , i gues that is for vehicle data learning . Anyway, i will let you know how it goes. :)

[pnj]

I was told that channel 51 is in use for adapting new steering column with VCDS please let me know if any succes.

Good luck

[djoko.k]

If switch is good what else can be the problem???

[djoko.k]

No other problems...

[sim1234]

dont know why everybody wants to repair these column locks when they are about 50 pounds from the dealer, latest part number 3C0 959 861J
do yourselves a favour and fit brand new. login code and adaptions channel 51 if i remember, i have fitted 72 of these to date and only once have i fitted an ecu under the glovebox,and that was because the serial number wasnt recognised by the factory but that was easy cos i wrote a new file into the st95320 and that cured that as well.
my privalege is i am online with vas pc so i suppose im lucky but all this can be done with the know login pin.

any more info needed pm me

ignition of for 30sec.job done
the car i was workin on some one try to code all ready,so my ignition was not on because new lock will only put ignition on once!but i just put the key in and start coding procedure.just had to use old lock to switch ign.on get pin out from ecu.

No one, then can some one just draw wiring by hand.
I also want to know is it easy to get to steering lock board switches?

Hello !

Passat TDI 140, BKP engine. 2006

Today i tried to change the defective steering column lock with a new one purchased from VW

I have the pin code, and i verified that i have security access to IMMO controller, before removing the old one.

I removed battery and i changed the lock.

After that, i plugged battery, switched on ignition and tried to get security access to immo, but the pin code was not recognised. after 3 attemt, the immo controller is locked for 250 minutes. Impossible to match the new lock.

Has anyone ever had this problem? Do you have a solution to offer?


Thank you !

[yugo45]

Now you have 250 min lock time , which means you have to have ignition On for 4 hr and 10 min.
You can switch ignition on if you jump pin 1 and pin 16 at OBD plug.

Did you follow this procedure:

[macgyver216]

Thx ! That's what i was going to do.

My problem is that the pin code was refused by immo controller after changing the lock ! The pin was verified before.

And i can get ignition on, but of course withe the coil blinking.

[amigokola]

When Lock time is gone disconnect all short fuse lines plug new ELV turn hazard lights switch high beams and press break pedal then login and do adaptation procedure.

Thx.
I already have ignition, even with old and new ELV. So should i wake up the immo with brake pedal and high beam procedure ?

Second' what do you mean by disconnect all short fuse lines ?

Last question, can i do hot swap with ELV ? ie changing them when ignition on and security accsess ?

This is suggestion from other thread , so many members had susses with this:
When lock time is out, Put old lock back,give ignition,enter pin,go to Ch51, do not turn ignition off, or go out form VCDS screen, unplug old,plug new,press Do It! and done...

Thx yugo45 ! this tip seems to be great.

I dont have to enter the pin code in channel 51 as a new value instead of 32000 ?? I don't have to read before group 00 of measuring block ?

Please explain more the procedure !!.


I'll try it after 2h43min.

[macgyver216]

Bad news.
Wait for 250 minutes, immo lock time chanded to 0. I plugged the old lock, but no more ignition. I tried to connect to immo without security access or pin attempt, but time lock was again 250.

In summary, no ignition with old lock, ignition ok with the new lock, but pin code is not recognised.

I'm fed up with that car

[yugo45]

Something is wrong, if you enter one time wrong Pin it should be only 10 min.

[macgyver216]

Something is wrong, if you enter one time wrong Pin it should be only 10 min.

I didn't enter any pincode, time lock changed to 250 just by plugging back old lock.

Someone told me that it was due to a software bug inside comfort module, mine was considered as first generation.

Tomorrow the car will be moved to an official VW workshop to match this fu...y lock. I hope they will not discover another disaster.

Thx for all !

[macgyver216]

The car is still in VW workshop since the morning. they are trying to match the lock.

I hope that ccm doesnt need te be changed.

Thx again VW for this wonderful car full of problems

[macgyver216]

Ok, end of the history :
VW was unable to match the new lock, they sad that my new lock was already plugged on another car....... because they get timelock 250 after plugging it.

May be i'ts possible, because the box was not sealed.

A good friend of mine exchaged the eeprom of old lock into new one, and now everything is ok !

Thx for all for your help ! Great forum.

[macgyver216]

Not a so happy end :
Same problem occurs again : twice or three times a day, when the car is running, three long beeps and display steering lock defective. The car run, but impossible to start again due to immo activation.

VCDS : immo and central convivience modules : 003 defective. Evrything is normal after erasing fault.

Now the car is in a VW dealer, they will try to flash confort module with ODIS.

Any suggestion ?

[macgyver216]

VW answer : CCM and Lock should be changed ......
about 630 euro ! for a 10 years car.

The steering lock is defective see the fuse if not try to change it or make immo off for engine ecu read eprom and send will make immo off also you will need to remove steering lock is cover and press green button permanent to get ignition on then car will start.

[dannyx5321]

We now have indulgent error in the trade wind here has been much here and there with. There have been a fault with the steering wheel lock. To find and use the solution by dego1500 requires that, steering wheel lock Down on the steering column, the wheel of this must be completely down for the micro switch on one is inside and the other is released. So if you have opened this box and clean it, or switched micro switches ensure that it is in the correct position for it to work, Unless this is done, you risk the same problem as I have described here, no communication at diagnosis so everything is just nonsense. to those who want to send this description of pm.

Thanking all involved for any input that has come here on the forum.

Amazing piece of information! Tank a million Maxpower for that detail: the motor inside must have the pin down! Makes all the difference, as the new motor will be with the pin up thus preventing all communications and no ignition on because of that. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure this up after replacing the two chips realizing that ignition cannot be turned on anymore. So in retrospect, just swap the old chips in the new steering lock and very important push that pin attached to the motor all the way down! Once the pin is down, make sure the other microswitch is engaged properly with the lower black tab in the "on" position and you should be good to go.

[perovuk]

can somebody tell me whether it's possible to transfer elmos chip from ori lock to used lock and start car?
tnx!

Hello mates ,

I have this weird case of a steering lock fault . Car came to me from a VW dealer :tears_of_joy: ! They tried to program a new ELV to this CC and they couldn't . So they brought the car to me ,,

On the car there is a new ELV plugged in. The lights in the dash won't open at all. No matter what ELV i plug in (new or old or used) the lights won't come on .

If i open the ignition by bridging the pins 1 + 16 of the OBDII connector the lights come on and i can diagnose car. Only fault inside CCM is about Electronic Steering LOck Fault .......


Has anyone seen this before?? All fuses are good , i also tried plugging in other 3 CCMs but same result .... no lights in dash

Can someone help >?

Thanks in advance

you have to program the elv
Not programmed elv, no ignition
read this whole topic
I think you will know everything you need

[i_shot_the_sheriff]

read this whole topic
I think you will know everything you needI have read it all :) and truthfully every Passat that comes to my store I make immo off ,,, i plug a new elv and I send them away happy ;) .....

The programming procedure is usually problematic on the ccm part

But this one doesn't wanna listen :(

reset elv, or the next new one you need

We've had a similar problem (no ignition and CCM won't adapt new ELV) and in the end it was a faulty SWCM !
After swapping SWCM to a different one all was fine.

[i_shot_the_sheriff]

Finally fixed the car
3 faults i found .... i think this Vw dealer was crazy or something!
1st) THe ignition switch was faulty !!! (where you put the key inside )
2nd) Needed to plug in old SCL make security access and when on chan 51 plug the new one and program and i hear the zztttt!

After these still no lights on the dash but i see only the steering light ! They had a red cable on the inner relaybox unplugged! I plugged it in and it worked like a charm!!

HI THIS IS PIN FOR VIRGIN FILE IF THIS VIRGIN FILE YOU JUST NEED VCDS AND PIN OFF VEHICLE YOU WORKING ON

[dannyx5321]

Ok but I need to adapt the ESCL/ELV lock and neither pins work. So I have a new steering lock, supposedly a new/virgin CCM but cannot marry the lock with the CCM as I need security access to do it. I'm stumped.

[fryderykbab]

WHEN IMMO SYSTEM IS LOCKED ODIS ONLINE WILL DO THIS

[dannyx5321]

Ok so if you or anyone else can solve this either by ODIS online or otherwise, please help and I will compen$ate. I'm so done with this crappy pos Passat.

So a shout out there to all in the know, will pay $ if someone can fix this garbage of a car. I have ODIS but certificate needs updated for GEKO online.

[dannyx5321]

No takers for my money?... Offers still stands :indecisiveness:

[dimon9555]

Pin is wrong)))
If you have a native dump engine ECU and a native key, you can restore it. But if a bad person did immo off in engine ECU, then there is an incorrect date in it, it can no longer be restored

[dannyx5321]

So finally the car is sorted out. I ended up putting back the original dump in the CCM and adapted the steering lock via ODIS online. Pretty painless I must say, should have done that in the first place instead of fooling around with VCDS and procedures that are hit and miss. Thanks to all who helped or wanted to.

[H2Deetoo]

It is very very simple.
If you have a working CCM dump, and original ELV still communicates then connect them, then swap in virgin ELV and it can be adapted with VCDS easily.
But if your ELV is really dead (no comms), or missing, then you have a problem. There is no way to get the original CCM to work because it needs original ELV to startup up.
Only solution then is to use a virgin CCM (existing CCM can be flashed to virgin), then adapt this to car using ODIS online (using data from VW server), then learn virgin ELV.

[Medions]

existing CCM can be flashed to virgin
Good idea, now I work for it.

While it may be simple with VCDS if you have new ELV there are a few points that need observing otherwise you are screwed:

1. You only have ONE ignition on. If you were unsuccessful in adapting your steering lock don't turn ign. off (don't ask me how I found that out)

2. When adapting with VCDS make sure you leave or old ELV connected, and login for security access (tab 16) before you swap your new lock. This is debatable, some say you don't need to log in just adapt and input the PIN but Ross-Tech forum says you need to log in first.

3. Of course in order to log in you need the PIN code and for that you'll have to extract either from the ECU or CCM via AVDI or similar tool or like I did unsolder the eeprom from CCM and post dump here.

IF VCDS fails like it did miserably in my case even with a virgin dump in CCM and new lock, then ODIS online will fix your problem.

One more thing: if you get locked for 255 because somehow you messed up, ODIS online isn't affected so you don't have to wait it out. I didn't know that and four hours go by sloooow when you need things done.

If others need to add to this short guide please chime in.

If this helped you press the thank you button, it's not that difficult.

wow that is loads of data but it seems that immo id is corapted, not shore about pin, with vcds it is not accepted in ECU
Is there a way how to manualy transfer data?

[rafal]

have a look lock time.........................

[incar]

Originaly car had strange issues with one key then second and now CCM is dead no connection on diagnostics and no convinience functions.
If i put virgin dump or dump from replacement ccm it is accessible on diagnostics. If i put original dump in replacement CCM it becomes dead(not accessible with diagnostics and no convinience functions)
lock time is 0
I got virgin dump in replacement CCM but i cant code it with vcds to car, pin 05615 is accepted but adaptation chanels not available.
Similar is with fvdi, it cant read pin and cs from edc17 over obd might have to remove and open ECU to get pin cs...

[rafal]

ok.....then read ecu for pin and cs

[incar]

Before i break lid of ECU (really hate to do this) is there a way to manualy edit pin and cs to try it out
I found a way with FVDI to change VIN, ID and keys but pin and cs and ESL needs to be changed.

[incar]

I got ECU flash now i houpe pin cs is available there.

need also eeprom..............

Now i got eeprom and flash separate

[passat82]

I am getting pretty desperate here! :/ :)) Below is the short version of events so far...


I have an issue with my VW Passat b6 2.0 FSI 2006. I came out from the supermarket and the car wouldn't start. The red steering wheel light was on and beeping 3 times, with no ignition or lights in the display plus an active electronic handbrake.


I got the car moved to mechanic number 1. They couldn't do anything, so I researched the problem online and took a qualified guess and told them to remove the Electronic Steering Lock (ESL).


After receiving the ESL I took it apart and found faults in both microswitches on the board. I ordered a replacement set online and changed both switches and the two relays. The lock was reassembled and put back in the car, but the car still wouldn't start and behaved exactly the same. https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/14.0/1f92c/72.pnghttps://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/14.0/1f972/72.png


I managed to move the car to mechanic number 2 in the hopes that clearing the faults would solve the issue and mechanic 1 wouldn't try to bypass the car to get lights in the dashboard.


Mechanic 2 managed to get lights in the dashboard and clear the faults. The car started, ESL working like normal...


YEAHHHH...


But two days later, while driving, the red steering light came back on and the display showed Steering Lock Defect. I drove the car home and parked it with no handbrake and in a straight wheel position, so transporting it would be easier this time around!


After turning off the car, it now behaves a bit differently than the first time. I get ignition, but it turns off after a few seconds. I haven't touched the steering wheel since I turned it off to avoid locking it and completely disabling it again.


What can cause this behaviour? Can it be the motor in the ESL?


I am considering getting a new ESL or used, and then switching the board from the old lock to the new!?


Thank you in advancehttps://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/14.0/1f64f/72.png

buy brand new esl - adapt by pin - job done
now new part is cost about 100 euro - so not expensive
to get pin you will need read ecu eeprom or ccm eeprom

Hi :)
Wouldn't I have to take it for an expensive trip to VW to do that!?

Hi :)
Wouldn't I have to take it for an expensive trip to VW to do that!?

if you don't have tools and experience how to do - answer - yes

OK, here's the fix :

On the steering lock unit there is a 10 pin connector which can be acessed by removing cover above pedals. There are 2 wires coloured RED/YEL, (The large one is for power supply to steering lock, the smaller is ground signal to steering column unit to release ignition cycle and immo verification)
There is also a large BR/BLK wire which is ground.

Procedure :
1. Insert key in slot and press until you achieve successful ignition (all lights on dashboard-This means steering lock is now disengaged).

2. Connect 'small' red/yel wire to 'large' br/blk wire on steering lock connector.

3. THAT'S ALL FOLKS !!! You have now permanently disabled the steering lock, so no more problems with it failing to disengage. No need for new lock, and dreaded immo matching procedure


You may have to try step 1 a few times depending on how intermittent your problem is. Best to try with wheels pointed straight ahead.
Connector does not allow much room, so will have to lie on your back while you work or alternatively, remove other panels to get a more comfortable access.

Plz see attached wiring diagrams for clarification.

Don't forget to say THANKS.
