Is there another way to clear the error code "basic settings not performed"? Perhaps he will then release everything.
Best regards, Peter.

Hello Peter,
Unfortunately, not. Once the initial setup has begun, it must be completed.
I will update the thread when I have new information.
PS: I don't know if it has any influence, but I doubt it. However, I would recommend installing version 21.9 of VCDS from your customer account.
Best regards, Rainer.

Hello Rainer,
I've already updated it, it's an old photo.

In Volkswagen's guided function, a sequence of basic settings is likely running, which you can only work through one by one using VCDS, but in the correct order.
American Fred is providing quite a bit of information and might be a good fit for your problem; you might just need to arrange the pieces of the puzzle correctly. You have to approach this carefully, so don't try any further adjustments for now.
Please compile the extended measurement data from the Fred (copy below) and create an image of it. Before the ">" symbol, you'll find the current state of the American user, and after the symbol, you'll find the desired state.
IDE03393-ENG121518, Selector lever position - Gear lever input signal malfunction > not in neutral.
IDE00090-ENG121515, selected gear - TEXT TABLE: GEAR invalid > Neutral 1-2
IDE08296-ENG121515, Target gear-TEXT TABLE: GEAR invalid > Neutral
IDE05402-ENG121492, Driving mode - Text Table: Driving Situation - NO SYSTEM RELEASE.
IDE00144-ENG98540, Transmission status: engaged, not active > active.
IDE00144-ENG121498, Transmission status - Gearbox mode initialization is active. Active > Not active.
MAS04894, Operating mode: GET_INIT_KURZ > Normal operation.
IDE08304-ENG123376, Adaptation state of transmission module - Transmission learning status: Not learned > Learned.

It looks like this for me.

Hi,
My impression is that the transmission control unit doesn't have a problem with the clutch itself, but rather "only" with the gear position.
Within the vast network of the internet, one can find, at least in English-speaking versions, an SSP 512 document titled "Automated 5-Speed Manual Gearbox 0CT." This document includes a section on "Basic Adjustment of Gear Actuator." Unfortunately, it only works with the principle of the initial reset.
Nevertheless, that should be correct.
The question is whether the assumptions I suspect are valid.
- Ignition on;
- Parking brake engaged;
- Clutch opened via basic adjustment;
- Gear selector in neutral position (center).
Furthermore, it's possible that the gear selection lever in the transmission needs to be set to the "remove" position (see the "Service" section in the SSP).
Could you tell us what kind of work you did on the transmission? Perhaps there's a clue to be found there.
The values from the American FRED database (search and select: 21 450 1834 4894 8304) mean nothing to me (yet).
hg
Herbert.

Hello Herbert.
"In conjunction with the service, I also changed the transmission fluid, and then I tried to recalibrate the gear shifting, and that's when the problem started."
He's not detecting any gear selection from the gear lever; it's always stuck in neutral.
I can release the clutch, but after I'm no longer in that specific position, it closes again.
I'm sure I made a mistake when I started the process in the neutral position.
Best regards.

Short update..
I opened the cover and checked if the gearbox actuator was in its initial position. You can see this in the attached image. Sure, here's the translation of the text from German to English:
"I.o." translates to "All good" or "Everything's fine" in English.
Then I ran the tutorial program.
The gear moves left and right, and up and down, and the clutch is engaged during the process.
Parking brake engaged, gear selector in Tiptronic position.
Unfortunately, without success.
What I find strange is that the "N" indicator is always blinking.

The values listed in the American Fred document (Search and choose: 21 450 1834 4894 8304 8329) likely refer to the adjustment values that are accessible and modifiable in the respective default settings mode.
I mean...
21 = IDE00021, ..., 4894 = MAS04894, ..., 8304 = IDE08304.
And NEtech also provides information on how to make the necessary changes.
The entire list is on the first page of the thread.

Hello,
So far, I have been able to find out the following:
Ross-Tech wrote: | Based on my research, there are two basic settings that need to be completed. Below is what we have for the [0CT] Transmission Basic Settings Procedure*.
Please note that this procedure has not been tested and is considered reliable, but there is no 100% guarantee!
[0CT - Automated 5-speed manual transmission, basic settings]
Part (1) - "Learning/Calibration of Gear Settings (Service)"
Conditions:
- No other error codes found besides P175F.
- Engine at operating temperature.
- Key: "On", Motor: "Off"
With VCDS, select [02-Automatic Transmission].
[Basic Settings - 04]
Select: [Learn shift position (Service)].
[Show measurement data]
"Default setting status"
"Transmission status - NO SHIFT MANAGER DISABLED" = (inactive)
Press [Go!], then wait for "Finished Correctly".
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back-06]
--> Turn off the ignition for 30 seconds to save the learned values.
- Go to section 2), below.
Part (2) - "Learning the clutch engagement point"
Requirements:
- No other error codes found besides P175F.
- Engine at operating temperature.
- Key "On", engine in "Idle".
- Parking brake "On"
With VCDS, select [02-Automatic Transmission].
[Basic Settings - 04]
Select: [Adjust clutch engagement point].
[Show measurement data]
"Default setting status"
"Transmission status - NO SHIFT MANAGER DISABLED" = (inactive)
Press [Go!], then wait for "Finished Correctly".
[Done, Go Back]
[Close Controller, Go Back-06]
--> Turn off the ignition for 30 seconds to save the learned values.
- Finish, check for error codes, road test, and re-check for codes, leaks, etc.
Done!
Let us know how it works for you and if you have any further questions.
Thank you for your patience; I hope this helps you. |
Best regards, Rainer.

Hello Rainer,
I finally had some time to work on the UPS again. I followed the steps described above one more time, but without success. Please provide the text you would like me to translate. I need the German text to translate it into English.

Speculation: Did pulling the handbrake and pressing the foot brake simultaneously, or one of the four possible combinations, cause a problem with the transmission control unit?

Unfortunately, we're experiencing the same problem here. After replacing the clutch, the initial adjustment cannot be completed.
Does anyone have a solution ready?

I've already checked the transmission fluid.
Contacts are losing connection, same problem.
Battery: 12.5 V at the default setting.
