Instrument cluster 0x17 refused coding

hytron · Nov 16, 2019

Hi everyone,

I was attempting to change the coding of the instrument cluster on my friend's 2017 VW Golf to remove the seat-belt warning and after multiple attempts the software refused to code it with the new coding with following error:

Coding Rejected.
Error 31: Request out of range.

I was using my Windows 10 tablet running latest version (19.6.2) and Genuine VCDS HEX+USB adapter. After several attempts, I was scrathing my head and wondering why this is not working. After she left I took the same tool setup back to my 2015 VW Jetta TDI, which I disabled the seat-belt warning back in 2016, ( Using exact same tablet, VCDS HEX+USB and software version 15.7.4.1) but this time trying to re-enable it, I got the same error:

Coding Rejected.
Error 31: Request out of range.

I tried downgrading VCDS software to one version older ( The one I had saved was 18.9.1) with the same results. This made me think something changed from version 15.x.x to the newer versions.

But then, I installed version 18.9.1 on a different laptop computer running Windows 7 and it worked fine on my 2015 Jetta - I was able to recode! I have not tested the 19.6.2 version as of now yet, but I am sure it would work as well. So I guess the problem was with my tablet. What still puzzles me is that the same laptop with Windows 10 worked fine back in 2016, was able to read the coding last night...just could not write the coding back into the instrument controller. So my question is where does Reject error 31 come from? Is that the message from the controller or VCDS does it own checks?

I was undecided if I should post this, but figure out it might help someone else with similar computer issues.

I will try recoding her 2017 VW Golf next time I see her and will post the results!

Auto-Scans would be appreciated for context.

^^^ hytron: Hi. If I might add to Uwe's suggestion - you are aware that the security code for the hex17 module on MQB platform vehicles (like the Golf) was changed by the boffins in Wolfsburg around mid 2016?

In previous models, the SA was 20103, but in later modules the SA was changed to 47115. Which did you use in your attempt(s)?

DV52 and Uwe thank you for the reply, I was unaware of that but the vehicle we are talking about is 2015 VW Jetta TDI. I was able to change the coding and disable seat-belt warning back in 2016 using Windows 10 tablet and VCDS version 15.7.4.1. Also, I was able to change setting again today using VCDS 18.9.1 and using different laptop running Windows 7! I am unable to change the setting using Windows 10 and VCDS version 18.9.1. To change the coding I never used the SA.

So update as of now doing all these tests on my 2015 VW Jetta TDI:

- Using tablet with Windows 10 and VCDS version 18.9.1: I am unable to change the settings (The error is: Coding Rejected. Error 31: Request out of range.)
- Using laptop with Windows 7 and VCDS version 18.9.1: I am able to change the settings.

It is either my tables that does not work right or some incompatibility between Windows 10 and VCDS, but obviously only certain things.

Again Thank You so much for the update!

Below is the Auto-Scan from my 2015 VW Jetta TDI:

I think at this point there are more people using VCDS on Windows 10 than any of the older versions of Windows, so I would consider this unlikely.

Tell us about this tablet, please. Make, Model, CPU, RAM, etc.

Uwe,

The tablet is Dell Latitude 10 - ST2 with Intel Atom Z2760 @ 1.8GHz (Two cores), 2GB RAM, 60GB SSD (25GB Free) running Windows 10 Pro (1607).

I will borrow a new laptop from work tomorrow to test it out, it very likely could be the tablet, but just not sure why it would read correctly the Fault codes, Measuring Blocks, Coding values, but when it comes to writing it fails with Error 31?

Also, I have just tested using this tablet running VCDS 18.9.1 on my other 2006 VW Jetta TDI and cluster coding works fine!

So combination of Tablet, Windows 10, VCDS 18.9.1 and 2015 VW Jetta TDI does not work for recoding instrument cluster.
Combination of Laptop, Windows 7, VCDS 18.9.1 and 2015 VW Jetta TDI does work fine!

Thank,
Darko

Atom CPUs can be a bit dodgy on newer cars with legacy cables where all the low-level stuff is done by the PC.

I think you're on the right track though -- process of elimination.

If you can’t disable it via long coding then try adaptions

Adaptions -> “seatbelt warning” -> disable

No security access needed

L walker · May 10, 2020

hi all

do you know can you use vcds to enable or disable the Immobilizer in the ECM module? if so what coding do you change?
