Is there another way to clear the error code "basic settings not performed," perhaps something that would reset everything and free up the system?
Best regards, Peter.

Hello Peter,
Unfortunately, no. Once the initial setup has begun, it must be completed.
I will update the thread when I have new information.
PS: I'm not sure if it has any effect, but I doubt it. Nevertheless, I would recommend installing version 21.9 of VCDS from the customer account in your situation.
Best regards, Rainer.

Hello Rainer,
I've already updated it; that's an old photo.
Best regards, Peter.

It's likely that the guided function in Volkswagen involves a sequence of basic settings that you can only work through one at a time using VCDS, but in the correct order.
American Fred is providing some useful information and might be a good fit for your problem; you just might need to arrange the pieces of the puzzle correctly. You need to approach this carefully, so don't try any further adjustments yet.
Please compile the extended measurement data from the following text (copy below) and create an image of it. Before the ">" symbol is the actual state of the American user, and after it is the desired state.
IDE03393-ENG121518, Selector lever position - Gear lever input signal malfunction > 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 AUTHORIZATION.
IDE00144-ENG98540, Transmission status: engaged, but not active > active.
IDE00144-ENG121498, Transmission status - Gearbox mode initialization: Active > Not active.
MAS04894, Operating mode: GET_INIT_KURZ > Normal operation.
IDE08304-ENG123376, Adaptation state of transmission module - Learning status: Transmission not learned > Transmission learned.
IDE08337-ENG98878, Replacement measures group 2 - Red warning lamp: Active > Not active.
IDE00145-ENG99141, Clutch status: Clutch state changed from closed to open.

Hi there,
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 an English-language version of the SSP 512 documentation for the "Automated 5-Speed Manual Gearbox 0CT." It includes a section on "Basic Adjustment of Gear Actuator," although it only describes the principle of the initial adjustment process.
Nevertheless, that should be correct.
The question is whether the assumptions I suspect are valid.
- Ignition on;
- Parking brake engaged;
- Clutch opened via initial adjustment;
- Gear selector in neutral position (center).
It is also possible that the gear selector lever in the transmission needs to be set to the "neutral" position (see the "Service" section in the Owner's Manual).
Could you tell us what kind of work you did on the transmission? Perhaps that will give us a clue.
The values from the American FRED database (search and select: 21 450 1834 4894 8304) mean nothing to me (yet).
hg
Herbert.

Hello Herbert.
I also changed the transmission oil as part of the service, and then I tried to recalibrate the gear shifting, but that's when the problem started.
He's not detecting any gear selection from the shift 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...
Hab den deckel geöffnet und kontrolliert ob der getriebesteller in ausgangslage ist. Sieht man auf dem eingefügten bild. ISure, here's the translation:
"I understand."
Then I ran the tutorial program.
The gear moves left and right, as well as up and down, and the clutch is engaged during the process.
Parking brake engaged, gear selector in Tiptronic mode.
Unfortunately, without success.
What I find strange is that the "N" indicator always blinks when I'm inside.

The values listed in the American "Fred" (Search and choose: 21 450 1834 4894 8304 8329) likely refer to the adjustment parameters that are accessible and modifiable within each respective default setting mode.
I mean...
21 = IDE00021, ..., 4894 = MAS04894, ..., 8304 = IDE08304.
And in addition to that, the NEtech also specifies how the changes should be made.
The complete 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!
[OCT - Automated 5-speed manual transmission, basic settings]
Part (1) - "Learning/Calibration of Gear Settings (Service)".
Requirements:
- No other error codes found besides P175F.
- Engine at operating temperature.
- Key: "On", Engine: "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 ENABLED" = (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 in the "On" position, engine in "Idle" mode.
- 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 ENABLED" = (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 the work, check for error codes, road test it, and then 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 once more, but without success. See the picture.

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

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

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