Anti-theft immobilizer, On
Board Diagnostic (OBD)
(Cabrio through 04.99)
General information
Immobilizer electronics consist of:

an Immobilizer Control Module

an adapted Engine Control Module (ECM).

a reader coil on ignition lock

adapted ignition keys with electronic

components (transponder and response reader
memory)

The Control module for anti-theft immobilizer -

J362- is located on the steering column.

-J362- has On Board Diagnostic (OBD)

capability.

Anti-theft Immobilizer On Board

Diagnostic (OBD), initiating
If malfunctions occur in the sensors and
components being monitored, they will be stored
in the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory
together with an indication of the type of
malfunction.

A maximum of 4 DTCs can be stored

simultaneously.

Sporadic malfunctions are automatically

cancelled if they are not repeated in next 50
engine starts.

Effective calendar date 03.11.2002, On Board

Diagnostic of the anti-theft immobilizer
system are to be carried out using either the
VAS 5051 or VAS 5052 Vehicle Diagnostic
Testing and Information System.

Notes:

Display fields in function 08 - Read Measuring

Value Block are read-out vertically.

While the display field contents are identical

between the VAS 5051/5052 and VAG 1551,
the display format is different.

Effective calendar date 03.11.2002, the

immobilizer secret number is encoded for
increased security. The encoded number is now
7-digits and is referred to as a "PIN" ("Personal
Identification Number").

All models with anti-theft immobilizer are

affected, regardless of generation.
Anti-theft immobilizer, On Board Diagnostic (OBD) (Cabrio through 04.99) Стр. 3 из 43

01-26

The process to obtain the 7-digit PIN remains the

same as with the 4-digit "secret number
previously used - that is: request via the
"Warranty Information Network" (WIN). However,
WIN Administration now requires additional
information from both the vehicle and Dealer in
order to to generate the 7-digit PIN.

The PIN is only valid on the day it is requested.

Thereafter, a new PIN is required.

The 7-digit PIN can only be processed and input

using either the VAS 5051 or VAS 5052 with
basis CD version 3.10 and higher. VAG
1551/1552 Scan Tools are unable to process or
input this number.

A correct Importer/Dealer number must reside in

the VAS 5051/5052 in order to request a PIN.

The requested PIN is worthless to other Dealers.

CAUTION!

All Dealership VAS 5051 and VAS 5052

testers in service MUST be programmed with
the correct Importer/Dealer number, as well
as correct date and time.

Adaptation functions of the anti-theft

immobilizer are not possible with incorrect
data!

Note:

The following description and illustrations deal

specifically with the VAG 1551 scan tool. VAG
1552 procedures are similar, but printing is not

Observe procedure when changing lock set and

Immobilizer Control Module.

After changing Immobilizer Control Module

adhere to following sequence:

1. Adapt keys Page 01-48

2. Code control module Page 01-58

3. Adapt engine control module Page 01-55

The Immobilizer Control Module must be

adapted, because of different baud rates (data
transfer speed) between engine control module
and fuel cut-off valve.

All new Immobilizer Control Modules have a

preset baud rate of 9600, which will be shown
on the 2nd line as a code with the control
module identification Page 01-29 .

Adaptation can be interrupted by pressing the -

C- button on the VAG 1551 ST.

Note:

Effective calender date 03.11.2002, the

immobilizer secret number is encoded for
increased security. The encoded number is now
7-digits and is referred to as a "PIN" ("Personal
Identification Number"). The associated process
is also new Page 01-25 .
