Steering Module Update 2016 S8+

[EricVonHa]

Hi, thanks for trying to assist ahead of time! Some background.. "DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR" red death warning. Makes sense, when the module is dead, the car is next to impossible to steer. Got another module (used) from a reputable source of the same part # and suffix.

- I can interrogate both modules (44) and they both have the same label file 4G0-909-144.clb

- The original unit coding is 011001010000

- The new unit coding is 101001010001

- Attempting to re-code the new unit yields "Error 31: Request out of Range"

- It goes without saying, the end-stops cannot be calibrated

As a result, the new module wreaks havoc on a bunch of other modules (air susp, sport diff, ABS, etc.) However, the car is drive-able albeit with most lights on in the cluster, but the steering works.. so keep this in mind when reviewing the below. The car is clean with the original module in place. Inserting the new module causes many errors.

What to do? How to re-code a steering module? Thanks!

Is the part number the same in the scan before and after? Also look at the dataset number (4H0909852L in your current scan).

 

[stefdds]

As MasterTommy implied above......

Address 44: Steering Assist (J500)
4215041 - Control Module
C109F 00 [137] - Incorrect Version Installed

Got another module (used) from a reputable source of the same part # and suffix.

What is the PN of the original module ?

 

[Dr Sheldon]

We need to see some Logic in this process !!


First I do not see a reason to condemn the original J500.

No testing is noted in the thread - Just on a wing and a prayer OP has thrown a new/dubious J500 at the car and is now wondering why his wishes have not come true. Reckless at best !!

The car is clean with the original module in place.

Post a scan with the old one connected !

[New feature! Extended UDS fault detail is only supported by current gen. interfaces]

On top of that he has the wrong VCDS for his needs today !!


If this ends well it will be luck but never good judgement !!

 

[Dr Sheldon]

Some background.. "DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR" red death warning. Makes sense, when the module is dead, the car is next to impossible to steer.

Does this belong in Retrofits ??

Good find on the dataset #'s:

Old: 4H0909852H 026
New: 4H0909852L 027

Rewind a sec, in troubleshooting the root problem, the original unit was able to be scanned and had position feedback after the rack went full manual with no steering boost. However, it had a "30A open circuit" related to J500. This is a common symptom in these units where the rack goes to full manual Arnold-mode. Audi extended the warranty for 10 years or 125k miles on *most cars. For whatever reason, the S8+ models were excluded even though this hardware model crosses into many many other 4 door sedans.

Effectively, for the logic inclined, the module spins up high-current to a motor and monitors torque and position based on input from the clock-spring G85, etc. If an alternate module allows the rack to function, the first module is dead. Parts bin throw-it-at the problem in effect for good reason. These module failures are widespread with the same error.

Now, back to the software coding and such trying to get a seemingly slightly updated module to be retrograded into the car.

It's obvious the replacement module isn't of the same dataset -- can the re-code be accomplished? I'm stuck at "Error 31: Request out of Range" when attempting a re-code

I'm not sure and it is the weekend for RT staff ; they may be able to check PL24 just to make sure your replacement is compatible here and then advise you on the dataset as I'm not sure VCDS can do that.
I would guess your post will be spotted on Monday. However, others may chime in regarding the dataset question.

I checked PL24 on his VIN, but got zero results, not even anything close to his part #. I starting to doubt what he had replaced, but the power steering unit that is supposed to be in the car is 4G1 423 055 BJ, which has been superseded by 4G1 423 055 EC.

The part numbers in the quote are for the entire steering rack. We are only working on the module that plugs into the rack.

The steering control module is a separate part number and is 4G0 909 144 (as listed in the scan).

Still stuck at at "Error 31: Request out of Range" when attempting a re-code. Security log-in is no problem.

Will update VCDS later today and report back.. Thanks for any and all input!

I figured i missed something somewhere, ill have another look.

 

[EricVonHa]

VCDS has been updated.. same "Error 31: Out of range error" when attempting to re-code the steering module

This is simple stuff. Same physical module part number with a different data set (duh, the out-of-box coding is different for a car with different features).

I suppose the question at this point is.. does VCDS have the capability of re-coding '44' steering modules? HEX-CAN *should be able to do it as this interface has updated other modern-ish UDS modules in the past. Or, should it not?

Going down the rabbit hole, I'm seeing things in alternate universes where .FNF files are being separately flashed to these steering modules.

Lets start with the fundamentals. What was the part number of the old part?

Didn’t read.

 

[EricVonHa]

Old module won't accept coding either. Part #'s are the same, different datasets obviously, hence the need to "re-code"

Error 31 out of range error from VCDS is still an issue.

What are the chances that the .FNF firmware must match the feature code? I'm thinking at this point that this is the only likely answer.

I found a video from MSG where they hook up these modules to their test rig and they do both (firmware and coding). They use Autel and some unknown firmware flashing tool.

On the hunt for a mobile ODIS service provider. If anyone knows of one near Zip Code 19446, greatly appreciated! This is SE PA.

Thanks again!

Coding and dataset loading are quite different things.

 

[EricVonHa]

Coding and dataset loading are quite different things.

Yes, hence the request for a mobile ODIS programmer to take care of the issue. VCDS can't touch the .fnf firmware files.

If anyone has ever successfully re-coded a steering module in a D4 or any of the other 15 Audi sub-models that this steering module part is used on -- chime in here, please.

Circling back here to advise owners that are desperately seeking to repair their Audi electric power steering on what to do and not what to do.

The original symptom is the red icon of death on the cluster and no steering at all and a VCDS code related to J0500.

Audi has issued a 10 year to 125k mile extended warranty on *most 4-door sedans. However, the S8 Plus models are excluded. Why, no answer other than they were built in a different factory BUT they still have a base rack part number that goes into the A6's so go figure.

Because of the 10 year extended warranty on most cars, this has effectively quashed the aftermarket repair of the electric steering modules and killed a potential brain-trust of the required programming and compatibility.

What to do? There are 3 USA-based repair centers that say that they repair these modules and send your original back to you. Mine was returned to me as a still failed unit with a checksum error so I went on the search for other compatible modules.

The need to find an exact match WITH the DYNAMIC STEERING option is of paramount importance (if your car has dynamic steering). If you contact any of the 3 aforementioned repair centers -- they have no idea if you have dynamic steering or not -- they are merely re-flowing solder into/onto components that *mostly takes care of the dead module syndrome -- but in my case they fubared the original completely. So, none of these companies are mentioned here because they cannot help you in identifying anything about your car's compatibility or incompatibility with various modules. Only one of these companies has a test rack (at time of this writing)

How to find a module with a module with the proper dynamic steering option? First, the engraved part number on the module must be the same and, secondly, the SUFFIX on the DECAL must be the same or be within 2 rev's backward. For example, if your original module decal suffix is "BG" you would need a "BH" or BI" module.

Or, you could contact a European supplier that will take your VIN and send you a module that is *mostly compatible. "Mostly" is the key operative word because the actual programming of the module MUST be on the same level as your ABS, Airbag, Suspension, Sport-Diff and other systems. They all work together and there's no getting around using ODIS (factory tool) and downloading and installing the proper software into the modules to all be compatible together.

ODIS terms the above as "SVM" (Software Versioning Manager) and a high-end tech will know exactly what to do.

VCDS "coding" is entirely another issue. When I received the correct module from Europe, I was able to properly "code" the module to the car. However, the rest of the car systems were still shut down and the cluster was a Christmas tree until my ODIS guru leveled all of the modules onto the same software versions.

Through these processes, I spoke with a couple dealers and attempted to have their service departments and parts guys help me and the best they could do was to "bring the car in" because there's obviously a ton of voodoo going on. USA based dealers do not have the versioning manager parts references. They are accustomed to only replacing the full steering rack and coding and programming from there. This process was always estimated at more than $6k. So, why you are reading this is because, you're like me, dealer = stealer and the right to work on my own stuff is my preference.

My European connection helped tremendously and we got it right on the first try. They remain anonymous because someone needs to start this business in the USA and MASGA (Make Audi Steering Great Again). Seriously, there is next to zero aftermarket support on these steering issues in the USA because of the factory 10 year 125k mile warranty extension. As far as I've been told, this warranty does not exist in Europe and their aftermarket repair and programming resources are exceptional as a result.

I can tell you that there is a Ukrainian company that is able to convert modules to almost any model Audi by writing to the firmware of the modules, they sell a test jig for the modules and have the software to manipulate the programming. Once the first USA repair center is established with their next-level tools, life will be easy. You'll see some of this activity on MHH Auto -- but proceed at your own risk (I never went down this path)

Till then, you have 2 options -- drop it off at the dealer for a $6k repair OR buy several modules as I did until you get the right one. You will still need an ODIS guru to finalize the software.

Through all of this, because of the incompatibilities and module suffix mismatching, if you go through the same thing I went through with VCDS -- you will always get an "Out of Range" error when attempting to code an incompatible module to your existing rack.
