[. . . ] This function is explained in the AutoScan portion of this manual in Section 21. [Erase All DTCs] On vehicles using CAN-Bus for diagnostics, VCDS clears all of the fault codes in all control modules in the car without accessing all the control modules individually. This function is explained in the AutoScan portion of this manual in Section 21. The [eMail today's debug/log files] button will open up your default email client, and will compose a message to support@Ross-Tech. com with all of the log files and debug files with the current date. Use [Done, Go Back] to return to the Main screen. VCDS ­ Transport Mode - Section 25-A Transport Mode On vehicles using CAN for diagnostics, there is a special Transport Mode that is used by the factory to put the cars into a "sleep" mode to conserve battery charge during long periods of inactivity. [Activate Transport Mode] Clicking this button will put applicable vehicles into Transport Mode, shutting down most systems. [De-activate Transport Mode] Clicking this button will "wake up" applicable vehicles from Transport Mode, powering up most systems. This function can normally only be used on cars that have very low odometer readings. Release 908 adds support for Transport Mode on a number of new models such as the R8, new Ibiza, facelift Touareg, and facelift A6. In the B7 Audi A4, Transport Mode works a little differently. To take the car out of transport mode, go into [Select] [17 Instruments] [Adaptation - 10] Enter channel 99 Put in a new value of 0 [Test] [Save] VCDS ­ Controller Channels Map - Section 26-A [Controller Channels Map] Rapidly scans through all 255 possible Measuring Block groups or Adaptation Channels on any controller and writes a "map" file. Choose the Controller Address (such as 01 for Engine), then any Login or security access code (not needed in most cases, contact Ross-Tech for assistance), then select either Measuring Blocks or Adaptation. Output is your choice of . CSV or . PLB / . PLA ("Prototype Label, Blocks" or "Prototype Label, Adaptation"), which is useful for creating new label files or taking a "snapshot" of all available data from an ECU. Click [Go] to begin the process, the results will automatically be saved to your C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs directory.

VCDS ­ EDC-15-16 Mileage Checker - Section 27-A [EDC-15-16 Mileage] is found in the Applications Screen and is used to show an independent "odometer" reading stored in the ECU. EDC-15 is found in older TDI engines like the North American market VE 1. 9L Golf/Jetta/etc. EDC-16 is used in 2. 0L TDI's including all North American PD engines, but not in the newest CR engines. . This function can be useful as a means of cross-checking the mileage on a used car before making a purchase, particularly in Europe where odometer fraud is rampant. The Option field is only to be used if you are given specific instructions from Ross-Tech. Use [Done, Go Back] to return to the Applications screen. VCDS - Control Module Finder - Section 28-A This function cycles through each possible address in the vehicle, finding each controller and reporting its Address, Name, Protocol, VAG Number, Component Number, Soft. Newer cars have more, older cars have fewer If you check Use CAN Only then the Module Finder will not check for any modules on the K-line. Beware; a "full" scan can take 45 minutes or more.
