I have suddenly developed an issue that is seemingly related to the ECU communications. This is an issue that I haven't previously encountered in 20 years of VW ownership, so I'm not totally sure what to do next.
I drove the car home Wednesday evening without issue, but when I tried to start it Thursday morning, the car would start and then it would appear that the ECU immobilizer turns it off after a second. I can throw a rev into it, so it's also responsive to inputs. The cluster immo light turns off as usual pre-ignition and does not come on after shut down. I've checked a handful of ECU related fuses (11, 32, 34, iirc), but am curious about any other recommendations. I also disconnected the ground cable from the battery for a handful of minutes with no change. I considered clearing all faults and seeing if it made a difference, but I have not had that opportunity yet. I will get to do more diagnostics this afternoon and tomorrow. Since the engine still fires, I'm hoping this is a fuse, relay, or grounding issue.
A lot of the codes I'm not concerned with - this is an autocross/track car, so the airbag codes are because of the racing steering wheel and racing seat in the car. Similarly, 17881 for the EVAP LDP is because the pump is removed. Some of the Cent Lock codes are interesting (to my knowledge, the car has never been crashed...).
I would really, really, really like to resolve this today, as there is an autocross on Sunday that I desperately wanted to participate in.
