Hello, I have version DRV18.9.0 of VCDS installed.
Experienced multiple issues with various T5 2103/T6 2016 models.
The flexible interval was reset to 17-10. The adjustment was reset, and the control unit accepted and re-read the reset value.

Previously, the "service and inspection" light had been illuminated, indicating a need for an oil change and inspection.
After the reset, the display only showed "Inspection," and the oil had disappeared.
but channel 342 reset has gone to reset.
I checked all the channels beforehand and wrote down what was stored in each one.
The last time, I had it reset using a VAG tool.
Previously, I also used a T5 with the green tester at another FZ location, and it worked perfectly there.
Where is the error?
Is there a channel that isn't being reset properly?
- WIV is encoded.
- Good oil is encrypted.
- The time remaining since the last inspection is correctly set to 0 days.
- Distance to next inspection reset to 0 km.
- Oil level sensor connected.
- WIV Min KM 20,000
- WIV Max KM 40,000
The update is current. icon_sad.gif I can't set up a screen.


Best regards, Klaus.

Hi,
I always walk through the adjustment channels to reset the system.
- Reset service interval.
- Distance and time since last service: 0.
- Distance and time since last inspection set to 0.

The APK files may be vehicle-specific.
After the reset, you still need to drive a few kilometers for the control unit to recognize the change.

Herbert.

Hello Herbert, thank you for your feedback.
I think I did it that way too.
then I checked the channels.
and the mileage and time since the last inspection were both set to zero.
Do I need a different tool?
How can I get the channel that displays all the areas onto a single page, either by displaying it on the screen or by copying it, so that the channels...
510...515
3349..3352
5931..
Are they all there?

Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate.

Hello Klaus,
You can copy individual screen views using the Windows copy function. On your keyboard, there is a Print or Print Screen button, which may be accessed with the Fn key depending on your computer.
This creates a copy in the computer's memory, which you can then, for example, paste into a Word document.

"Herbert, I don't mean that. I mean a view where all the relevant channels and their assignments are visible simultaneously, then send that to the RAM and transmit it."
So, don't select each channel individually, like channel 513 and check what's stored there, then 514, and so on.

edit: If the Longlife coding was correct initially, and no one other than VW has been involved, then it should be good for 30,000 km.
"If good oil is supposed to be active and functional, then why does this system sometimes introduce a bug that I have to manually search for and fix after a certain amount of time?"
So far, this has been the case with all newer cars.
The private Touran from 2005 is different, especially with its channels 40...
And before, it also worked with the automatic reset function.
It doesn't work with the newer models, specifically all VW T5 vehicles from around 2013 onwards that are part of the company's fleet.

It varies from vehicle to vehicle. Perhaps an image of the control unit (STG) would be helpful here?

Do you mean channel 17?
"I have a diagnostic report from another T5 bus that had the same issue, and it was then reset by VW."

No, I mean a representation of STG 17. The Excel file shows all adaptation channels and their assignments. There's even a specific function for this in the VCDS menu.

Address 17: Terminal block insert = that's what I meant by "Channel 17", isn't it also control unit 17?

Yes. STG, not channel. By that, they mean adaptation channel.

Yes, sorry, I used the wrong term.

Yes, I found it.
Applications - Address 17: Measurement values and adjustments in the label template mode. Then, start.
I can't really get anywhere without a car right now. Okay. Thank you.
