Hi all, first time poster here.
First, let me say how impressed I am with the VCDS/HEX-V2 tool. It is a phenomenal piece of kit for the money and a very well designed product indeed!
Anyway, I inherited a 2003 Bentley Arnage T. It has airbag and throttle control fault codes but I have coaxed the beast into actually running pretty well after replacing a lot of broken stuff. I want to keep it on the road for sentimental reasons but would like to diagnose the airbag code in particular. It appeared after I changed the batteries and so I think it is a nuisance code from reading the RollsRoyce and PistonHead forums.
No ODB2 scanner or tool that I have tried is able to access anything other than 01 Engine Control Module 1 or 03 Brakes 1. I have tried all the Bentley models in the current VCDS tool. The fact that it communicates with the car but can't get access to the gateway/other modules leads me to suspect that I am missing something.
Is this model locked out to anyone but Bentley dealers?
Or is there some secret handshake that I need to pass to the car before I can clear DTS faults?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Paul
