When replacing the ABS control unit it is necessary to variant code it correct. The variant code can be read from the old control unit as a datalist parameter "Controller, variant coding". Valid variant code can also be found in workshop manual or similar.
Note:
When the control unit is coded a valid login code first must be entered. Only valid for cars with ESP.
A faulty variant coding can reduce the car safety and/or performance.
A workshop manual or the variant code from old control unit must be available.
The control unit version must be correct to accept variant coding.
Test prerequisites:
A valid login for control unit.
