I bought the '06 v10 Touareg about a month ago. The headlights worked when I bought it, but were very dim. It had cheap bulbs in it that probably burnt the chrome (lovely).

I replaced the hardly insulated short jumper behind trays that somehow worked, and the bulbs with Sylvania Basic D1S. Both lows worked but were still not very bright. After a week the left light fails to turn on, right at the start of a trip of course...

I then bought a new Valeo ballast and replaced the left one thinking that was the problem. Still no left light, shows the below error in VCDS:

00978 - Lamp for Low Beam; Left (M29)
007 - Short to Ground (BUT WHERE?)

Thinking it was the internal headlight module wiring, I bought and replaced the headlight units with new Valeo ones, swapping the low bulbs and ballasts. Still no left light! I cleared the code, turned the vehicle off. Started it up - still the same error.

I tested the short 3-wire jumper from the ballast to the bulb, and it appears to be fine as I swapped left and rights with no change. Then I poked around in VCDS some more and realized that if I select 39 - the right headlight, it connects to the controller fine. If I select 29 - the left headlight, nothing. VCDS cannot find it! The rest of the lights work fine on that side (high, turn, marker). From what I can tell these are all driven from the "Vehicle Electrical System Central Control Unit" module under that dash.

I'm still looking for a good wiring diagram for 2006 xenons so I can actually test voltages and find the short to ground (if that is still true, and not something that just needs to be re-coded or reset). Recommendations?

Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Here is a full scan I did earlier before replacing anything:

I'm still looking for a good wiring diagram for 2006 xenons so I can actually test voltages and find the short to ground (if that is still true, and not something that just needs to be re-coded or reset). Recommendations?
erWin?

Buy a short subscription, enter your Vin and download every document relevant to your T1 - even if you don't need them now you may need them in the future :thumbs:

Yes, I have the erWin wiring diagrams, although they are wrong in regards to the HID bulb. Pins 6 and 8 are for the halogen high beam, not the HID. That of course is from the jumper from the J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module.

I don't see that anything is wrong ground wise that would set off that code - at least now. Is that a stored fault that I somehow need to clear? If not - where does that come from?

Below is what I traced out, and the Volts column shows what I found at each pin with the headlights on in the high-beam mode with the headlight module disconnected.

Code:
Pin		Black 14	        White 12	        Size Volts	Actually goes to
1		blk			blk			0.35	     6		Ctrl - J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module - Headlight Range Adjustment Connection 
2		blk			blk			0.75	     14	Ctrl - +v J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module - Plus Connection 3
3		orange		orange		0.5	     0.18	Blk +v - N395 Left Headlight Reflector Adjustment Solenoid
4		li			li			0.5	     14	Blk +v - M1 Left Parking Light
5		red			red			0.75	     0.39	Ctrl GND - J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module - From J519 Vehicle Electrical System
6		orange		orange		1.5	     0.19	(1) Blk +v - M30 Left High Beam Headlight (passing)
7		brn			brn			0.5	     0		Ctrl GND - J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module
8		brn			brn			1.5	     0		(1) Brn GND - M30 Left High Beam Headlight  (passing) and N395 Left Headlight Reflector Adjustment Solenoid
9		li			li			0.75	     0.13	Blk +v M5 Left Front Turn Signal Light
10		brn			brn			1.0	     0		Brn GND - M5 Left Front Turn Signal Light and M1 Left Parking Light
11		blk			blk			0.35	     9.16	Ctrl - J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module - OBD Connection 1
12		blk			blk			0.35	     11.52	Ctrl - J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module - Headlight Range Adjustment Connection
13		Unused		N/A
14		Unused		N/A

Notes:

Voltage reference is to Pin 10 as ground

(1) erWin shows J343 Left High-intensity Gas Discharge Lamp Control Module
J343 Left High-intensity Gas Discharge Lamp Control Module connects through J567 Left Headlight Range Control Module

I tried swapping the right headlight into the left side - no surprise, no low beam.

I then measured the same pins on the right side. Pin voltages side by side:

Code:
Pin - Left / Right
1 - 6 / 6
2 - 14 / 14
3 - 0.18 / 14
4 - 14 / 14
5 - 0.39 / 14
6 - 0.19 / 0.05
7 - 0 / 0 - Ground
8 - 0 / 0 - Ground
9 - 0.13 / 0.18
10 - 0 / 0 - Reference ground 
11 - 9.16 / 9.12
12 - 11.52 / 11.52

So to activate the low beam I should have +14 on 3 and 5 where I now have what look like low float voltages - not shorts. So the J519 Vehicle Electrical System Control Module seems suspect.

I see in erWin references to a self diagnostic. Can I do that with VCDS?

If I do need to replace the J519, which I believe is the BCM 7L6937049(N) - where would I code that?

Thanks in advance

Maybe check fuses and wiring first ;)

I did. The fuses are fine (verified with a VOM) and all of the wiring was replaced with new, except for the main harness. Based on the voltage values, nothing is actually shorted to ground. Before with the cracked and missing insulation - sure.

For now I'm just going to splice in a relay in the headlight tray jumper triggered by the running lights for 3 and 5 to supply voltage for the low beam.
