This thread is a work in progress so I plan to edit this first post over time based on replies, suggestions, etc.

In some fault code texts and control module identification information or wiring diagrams, you may see a letter-number combination like J104 or G17:

Address 03: ABS Brakes (J104) Labels: 7P0-907-379.clb
Part No SW: 7P0 907 379 K HW: 7P0 907 379 A
Component: MK25A H36 0418​

00779 - Outside Air Temp Sensor (G17)
012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit - Intermittent​

I thought these were ostensibly DIN component identifiers, come up with by the Deutsches Institut für Normung who document and dictate seemingly every aspect of German life:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Institut_für_Normung

They have a very non-standard design for the headquarters, oh the irony:

... but it looks like VW might have kinda made it up on their own because the closest I can find to a spec is EN 61346 which uses A for "ABS control unit, radio, two-way radios, mobile phone, alarm system, equipment assembly, ignition trigger box, electronic control unit, cruise control". That clearly doesn't match up with what VW does.

So the idea is, that regardless of the year/make/model/engine/etc. of a vehicle and regardless of the location of the component, it should be possible to determine the general type of component (from the letter part) and the specific nature of it (from the number part). For example, J is a control module, a little computer. It can be something that you can talk to with a scan tool (like J104, an ABS controller), or something that doesn't talk directly to a scan tool (like a J293 Coolant FC (Fan Control) Control Module) which has some logic in it but which doesn't talk to the outside world, at least not directly.

Let's start with Component Code Prefixes which may be a single letter but there seem to be a letter then X combo like "JX" as well:
A - Battery
B - Starter
C - Alternator/generator
D - Ignition/starter switch
E - Switches — these are usually more complex switches: A/C control head, sunroof regulator
F - Switches — door, hood, brake, clutch, trunk, multifunction, etc.
G - Gauges and sensors
H - Horn
J - Control modules, relays, electronic relays
K - Indicator/warning lights
L - Lights
M - Lights
N - Solenoids/inductors/ignition — fuel injectors, purge, ignition coil, ignition module, etc.
P - Spark plug connector
Q - Spark plugs
R - Radio, CD, telephone, navigation
S - Fuse, circuit breaker, protection device
T - Wire connector V Motor — window motors, vacuum pumps, etc.
W - Lights — interior, trunk
Z - Heating elements — O2 sensor heater, heated seats, heated mirrors, etc

After each of these prefix letters, there may be a wide range of numbers (or no numbers for the really cool, OG components):
