Door controlers and window auto up/down Golf 7.5

[MaticMD]

Hello, I would like to brainstorm here with you about my problem.

I have Golf 7.5. One day I removed and reinserted the cables in the driver door controller and my auto up/down function stopped working only on the front driver window.
I tried button hold up/down, reseting adaptation, and other reset/adapt options in VCDS, nothing worked.
Later I changed the controllers (upgrade for ambient lights) and the problem is still there.
I still have warranty, but they could not help me, because their ODIS doesnt recognize the controllers.

Any body have any ideas how to solve this?
How does this work, where this function comes from, window switch, controller, window regulator?
I dont have this second click after driver window is in full up or down position and still holding the switch. On other 3 windows, you can hear that click. Where does this click comes from?

Not really a tweak, but anyhow. As long as you didn't kill the parametrization (which could happen when you used basic settings in the module 42) the way is to just hold the window regulator in the following way:

1. push and hold DOWN until the window is fully open
2. release DOWN and push it one more time
3. push and hold UP until the window is fully closed
4. release UP and push it one more time

This sould store the end stops and the automatic down/up should work again.

@MatricMD: Hi On a mk7.5, all of the equipment related to the driver side windows is connected directly to (and controlled by) the hex42 module. Here's a very simplified WD for a mk7.5 LHD showing the wiring arrangement

As you can see - it's a very direct and self-contained arrangement.

Given that the only switch that is problematic is the front left door window (and assuming that the newly fitted J386 is fully compatible with the OEM arrangement) why not grab a multi-meter and test the switch-bank pins with the driver window switch operated. It's not clear from the WD, which pin operates the front driver window on E512, but you should see a change of state on one of these pins. When you identify the correct pin, check voltages on the mating pin (same wire colors) on the 32 x pin connector on the actual door card.

PS: If my suggestion doesn't help, perhaps post-up an auto-scan of the car

[MaticMD]

Thanks for ideas.
I believe seeing autoscan will not help here.

@TBAx I tried that and it didnt help, It is quite possible that I messed up the parameters with basic settings. I have no idea how to solve this, because at my dealer ODIS throws an error.

@DV52 right now it is very cold in our country, so I dont want to remove any plastic parts from my car. Any way, I think it should be ok. One switch has three wires, one is ground, second window up + , third window down + . Window is working so there should be nothing wrong with the wiring. I am not sure what the swith does when you pull it all the way up? Does it hold the window up + for you until the window regulator signals that the widnow is closed? Maybe the switch is bad?

I believe seeing autoscan will not help here.

An Autoscan gives the user community here an idea of how your car is equipped so they might be able to make further suggestions. How could supplying said Autoscan be problematic for you other than your having to go outside in the cold and run the scan?

 

[downtime]

And to complement what Bruce is writing, it also shows if the dataset for the affected controller is gone.

 

[MaticMD]

@Bruce it is not a problem, I just assumed that autoscan would not help to gather more information about my problem. Looks like I was wrong.
@downtime I didnt think of that

Form now on I wont make any more asumptions and post the autoscan first.

[Bruce]

I just assumed

We make assumptions all the time don't we? How often are our assumptions correct or accurate?

When a person with the knowledge and skill of @DV52 makes a request, I for one will likely honor that request for I know he knows far more than I. In this forum, such requests should be honored for most of the people trying to help are not compensated. Their help is freely given such that the community of knowledge might expand. Help them help you.

Thanks for taking the time to post. Give some time for others to take a look and postulate some ideas.

 

[MaticMD]

You are right. I never meant to look like I disrespect DV52. I can say that most knowledge about MQB coding I have is from his forum posts. He is always here sharing his knowledge for free and that is something I appreciate a lot.

 

[downtime]

I don't see any apparent problem with the modules.

Do you know from which car the replacement modules are from? If they're not from Golf it might explain the problem with the basic setting. It does not complain though that the door module is missing basic settings

 

[MaticMD]

I dont know from which car are they. Part numbers are the same as in my friends Golf 7.5.

When brainstorming it is good to keep in mind, that I had the same problem before with my stock controllers. Maybe the controllers are not the problem. It is just that because of the new controllers the dealer cant help me, ODIS throws an error for not matching the VIN.

And because of that I would like to find out how this window auto up/down works, so I can exclude possible switch, controller or window regulator failure.

What I'm after is that to my understanding the dataset contains limit parameters for the window lift motor as well and if it's from a different car the window size and shape is different thus the limit params don't match. You won't be able to make basic settings for auto up down to work as it will never reach the programmed extremes or it goes way over them. Do you understand what I'm after?

Then even the part numbers are the same it does not say anything. Same part numbers are used across VAG range. Skoda, Seat, VW and Audi all share the same part numbers but the differences are made with software and in this case with the datasets.
Cost reduction at it's most extreme

You can parameterize the unit even if it's not from your car / VIN range, but most likely the official dealer is not going to do it.

Yes I totally understand what you are saying.

I cant imagine then why the passenger side works without a problem. Everything is ok, you can even hear second click when you hold full up and full down position.

On the drivers side there is no second click, just the first click for stopping the motor at full up or down position. And of course the same behaviour was there even before replacing the controllers.

If there are issues with parameters, both controllers would have them? What do you think?

@Bruce it is not a problem, I just assumed that autoscan would not help to gather more information about my problem. Looks like I was wrong.
@downtime I didnt think of that

@MaticMD: Thanks for the auto-scan. I suspect (hope, really) that it might contain a plausible explanation for your window regulator problem - maybe?

So, from your auto-scan, here's a better view of the long-code strings on both your driver and passenger side door modules:

Byte	Driver-side	Driver-side	Passenger-side	Passenger-side
	Hex	Binary	Hex	Binary
0	00	00000000	00	00000000
1	11	00010001	11	00010001
2	03	00000011	01	00000001
3	20	00100000	20	00100000
4	00	00000000	0A	00001010
5	02	00000010	00	00000000
6	08	00001000	04	00000100
7	00	00000000	00	00000000
8	00	00000000	00	00000000
9	00	00000000	00	00000000
10	10	00010000	10	00010000
11	00	00000000	00	00000000

@downtime conversation about the module dataset is spot-on (I reckon). I've highlighted Byte 6 in the table above to show that there is an apparent difference between the coding of Driver/Passenger modules.

Now, normally different Byte values across both modules is not unusual on MQB platform vehicles, but the software switches on Byte 6 selects the window regulator Dataset that the module uses to control the "fast-glass".

Remembering that binary numbers are read from right-to-left and the right-most digit is Bit 0 - I hope you can agree with the following observations from the table above:

• on your Passenger-side module, Byte 6, Bit 2 is set- which means that the lower-nibble has a value hex04, which means that the module is using Window Regulator Dataset 1.
• on your Driver-side module, Byte 6, Bit 3 is set - which means that the lower-nibble has a value hex08, which means that the module is using Window Regulator Dataset Auto-recognition.

My suspicion (guess, really) is that the hex42 module might be having problems selecting the correct Dataset when in AUTO mode. I'm not sure why this might be happening. Perhaps, there is a degree of un-OEM-ness about this non-standard module that's causing confusion with this part of its operation (again, just a guess)

So - given your statement that the hex52 module is operating OK, it's probably safe to assume that Dataset 1 is also the appropriate protocol for the hex42 module.

Therefore, try changing Byte 6 on the hex42 module to hex04.

Another knowledge bomb from DV52

I did it, auto up down works now. But it was something else, not a wrong data set. I remember trying all data sets some time ago and it did not work.

I sat in the car today for more than an hour and trying different things. I have put all measuring vales for front window in the row and record up/down and auto up/down sequence, so I could show them here for you to see. Even window motor overhated 2 times in the process. I saw that in the mesauring values, at first I thought that I f.. something up for good.
After excluding switch and window regulator failure, DV52 post got in my head. I have to compare the coding between the two controllers. Of course they not 100% the same, but I still compared every bit and find the culprit. It was "light tank" that had a tick in the box on the driver side, but not on the passenger side. Looks like I put a tick here on my previus controller when trying to find out if I have any pins for the lights in it. When I removed that and initiate window adaptation, the problem was solved.

I realy like brainstorming here with you. Without this, I could not imagine how would I solve this problem. I always had in my head that there is some mechanical or parameter problem that I could not solve with VCDS.

Thank you all and special thanks to DV52 for putting my mind in a different direction.
