Hi all, I recently purchased a 9N Polo TDI Sport (AMF engine) which requires a little work, I’ve been investigating the main issues but now require some assistance. The main problem is with the lack of power steering – when I first picked it up the steering warning light was permanently on and the glowplug light was flashing, the fault “01309 - Power Steering Control Module (J500), 49-00 - No Communications” comes up on a few modules (Address 09: Cent. Elect.; Address 17: Instruments; Address 19: CAN Gateway) and I could not get communications with the steering assist module. I noticed this entry on the wiki http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/01309 -
“If 01309 is stored in multiple Control Modules and the Steering Aid (#44/J500) does not communicate with the Scan tool, check the Steering Aid Control Module Power Supply. Assuming the Fused Power Supplies (typically 2 fuses are used) are OK, in almost all cases the actual Steering Rack (containing the Control Module) is faulty and needs to be replaced.”
After a bit of investigation I found that fuse F7 had blown. This was replaced and the steering light went out and I could communicate with the steering module, until the engine was started. After starting the engine it reverted back to its previous state with no comms and warning light on. The fuse was still intact but by the next day the battery had discharged, so something on this circuit is drawing current with the ignition off…

The wiki comment on 01309 states the control module is contained in the steering rack, but as far as I can tell the only electronics in the rack is the steering angle sensor, plus when I could communicate the steering module VCDS listed the manufacturer (TRW) and Part No. for the pump. I’m happy to be proved wrong here but surely the control module is in the pump unit?
I’m leaning towards going ahead and replacing the pump but as it’s a significant cost compared to what I paid for the car I’m hesitant to do this until I have further proof, your thoughts would appreciated.
If I were to replace the pump I understand that there is some configuration to do in VCDS, does anyone have information on how to carry this out?
Another issue is that I have the code “16955 - Brake Switch (F) P0571 - 35-00 - Implausible Signal”, I have replaced the RH bulb and the switch on the pedal and the brake lights work but the fault is still present even after a DTC Clear, is there something else I’m missing?
I'm not too worried about the Air Con faults at the moment (unless this circuit can affect anything else), a job for another day.
Apologies for the long first post but trying to cover everything, if anything else is required or if I've done something incorrectly please let me know.
Thanks!
