Fault clearing ?

[Guest 2]

Not sure Roy.

If you go into the program directory of VCDS - on my Windows 7 it's:

Computer
C:
Ross-Tech
VCDS
Debug

You can see the changes that have been made to the coding - check if there are any differences in the coding.

Only other thing I could suggest is to contact RossTech themselves and see what they say.

Or PM bearthebruce on the forum as he works for RT.

Hi,

Does your 5F still function ok? For a long (long) time my C6 had a fault logged in the 5F that would not clear:

It still functioned ok, and the dealer told me it was nothing to worry about. After a software update it magically righted itself:

In short, I'd not be too worried if it is working ok.

Cheers!

I haven't found anything that is not working, YET.
It says "priority 6", Is this bad?

I have found this -

Number	Meaning
1	The fault has a strong influence on drivability, immediate stop is required.
2	The fault requires an immediate service appointment.
3	The fault doesn't require an immediate service appointment, but it should be corrected with the next service appointment.
4	The fault recommends an action to be taken, otherwise drivability might be affected.
5	The fault has no influence on drivability.
6	The fault has a long term influence on drivability.
7	The fault has an influence on the comfort functions, but doesn't influence the cars drivability.
8	General Note

The Reset counter is a number that has been pre-assigned to each fault, with the number of problem-free driving cycles before the fault presumably clears itself. Each time a driving cycle occurs, and the conditions sufficient to trigger the fault do NOT occur, then the reset counter should go down by one. So if you have a fault with a Reset Counter of 40, if the controller goes through a problem-free driving cycle then that number should go down to 39.

My Reset counter: 247, I will have to see if it goes down.
