2006 Bentley GT Roof Module light sensor settings

stevieshutts · Aug 4, 2020

Hi

I have been having problems with the rain sensor on my 2006 Bentley GT. I bought a replacement sensor (from a VW Phaeton, but I believe the part is identical). The rain sensor now works, but the automatic lighting now turns on the headlights regardless of the light level. I ran a full scan of the vehicle and Module 38 says:

Address 38: Roof Electronics Labels: None
Part No: 3W0 907 135 E
Component: Dachmodul 0707
Coding: 0002461
Shop #: WSC 00083 000 00000
VCID: 3828D30F4E4B170BAA3-5160

1 Fault Found:
01520 - Rain and Light Recognition Sensor (G397)
005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting / Adaptation

I can open module 38, but I can't work out how to set it up. Please could you tell me what I need to do.

Best regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

I have your email and I am doing some research and will post here and also respond to that email as well....

Thank you for your patience,

DrPeter · Aug 5, 2020

Hello again,

I have some information that maybe of help....

As per the VIN of the vehicle, the G397 part number should be [3W0-955-559], any other part number may not work correctly and could have strange results.

It looks like a VW Phaeton G397 part number is different [3B0-955-559] or [3D0-955-559], depending on the year of the vehicle and the tint of the glass. I would not suggest to use a Phaeton part at this time.

With VCDS have a look at the Measuring Value Blocks (MVB) in the [38-Roof Electronics] controller to verify the status of the G397-Rain/Light sensor.

MVB-011, field (1) = Rain/Light Sensor Connection _--> Should read [On]
MVB-011, field (2) = Rain Sensor Status ---> Should read [OK]

MVB-011, field (3) = Light Sensor Status _--> Should read [OK]
MVB-011, field (4) = Auto Light Installed ---> Should read [Installed]

We do have a Ross-Tech wiki page for this fault code: 01520 - Rain and Light Recognition Sensor (G397)

The G397-Rain Light sensor has a three pin connector and is wired as:

Pin 1 = power (reg/green)
Pin 2 = ground (brown)
Pin 3 = signal (yellow/grey) to Pin-18 ([38-Roof Electronics] controller)

I would suggest to check the wiring, connections and use a known good G397 with the correct part number for the vehicle.

As always, we recommended to use the Factory Wiring Diagrams/Repair Manuals when attempting to diagnose and repair these vehicles.

Again, thank you for your patience, hope this helps

Hi drpeter

Thank you for your help. I logged in to module 38 and looked at MVB-011 as you suggested:

MVB-011, field (1) = Rain/Light Sensor Connection _--> Should read [On] .................ON

MVB-011, field (2) = Rain Sensor Status ---> Should read [OK] ................................OK

MVB-011, field (3) = Light Sensor Status _--> Should read [OK] ...............................OK

MVB-011, field (4) = Auto Light Installed ---> Should read [Installed] ......................NOT INSTALLED

Does this mean not installed on the roof module and can I change it to installed? Or does it not see the component installed on the sensor, in which case why would it show Field 3 as OK.

The sensor I installed has a different vehicle ID on the part number, but in all other respects appears identical. The Bentley GT and VW Phaeton are, I believe, essentially the same platform with the same components (although with stunningly different price tags - second hand Bentley part £200, second hand Phaeton part £15 - so even if I can't make it work it's worth a try).

Once again, thank you for your help - very much appreciated.

Hi Steve,

I agree with DrPeter about fitting the 3W0 part, but also note that the CGT could have either IR or non IR glass and the rain sensor needs to match the type of glass fitted (there are two part numbers to choose from IIRC). The part number may not match the original if the glass type has been changed by a screen fitter in the past. You would then need to ensure the roof electrics module is correctly coded.

Mr. M

DrPeter · Aug 5, 2020

Hello,

Does this mean not installed on the roof module and can I change it to installed? Or does it not see the component installed on the sensor, in which case why would it show Field 3 as OK.

You can not change the value, as this is an indication of what is installed. I do believe the [38-Roof Electronics] controller is expecting to see that field (4) as "Installed" based on these PR-Codes your VIN has. this could be due to the non Bentley part number?

[8K7 = Autonomous driving headlights]
[8Q3 = Dynamic headlight range control (self-adjusting while driving) ]

Based on the VIN of the vehicle, the windshield is "Clear Glass" with the PR-Code of [4GY = Laminated windshield].
Thus the part number of the G397 for this vehicle is [3W0 955 559].

The PR-Code [4GE] is the other choice and that is for "Green Glass", part number [3W0 955 559 A] <--- Does NOT fit this vehicle.

As far as the coding of the [[38-Roof Electronics] ], you have two choices:

Coding: [0002461] = "IR Windscreen Fitted"
Coding: [0002493] = "IR Windscreen NOT Fitted"

I have to assume the "IR Windscreen" is the "Green Glass"? if so then maybe the [38-Roof Electronics] is NOT coded correctly.

Try and code the [38-Roof Electronics] to [0002493] and then clear the codes?

Let us know how this works for you!

Hi

I tried re-coding the roof module, but it made no difference.

Having resigned myself to the fact that the VW sensor must be different, I re-installed the Bentley sensor and looked at the roof module again. This time MVB 0011 showed all OK and auto lighting installed. Out of interest I changed the coding to IR windscreen not fitted and MVB 0011 ch4 changed to 'not installed' and threw a fault again - so I reverted the coding and it cleared.

The really bizarre outcome of all of this, is that the Bentley sensor now appears to be working correctly. I have no idea why or how this has happened, but so long as it keeps working, I am a very happy bunny.

Thank you for your help - I have been very impressed with your approach and support and I couldn't have asked for more.

Stay safe

Steve
