VOLKSWAGEN/AUDI

MANUAL PROCEDURE FOR "RETURN TO BASIC SETTINGS"

COMPLAINT:

CAUSE:

CORRECTION:

Once a Volkswagen/Audi vehicle has been repaired, in many cases, the Transmission
Module (TCM) or the Engine Control Module (ECM) does not allow proper vehicle
operation.
The symptoms may be, the transmission stuck in "Failsafe" or erratic shifting accompanied
by driveability complaints.

It is of primary importance to clear all previously stored trouble codes, this is NOT an option.
It is recommended to use a scan tool or computer based program to do this. Both are
available to the aftermarket. Disconnecting the battery to accomplish this is not
recommended due to other systems that may be adversely effected such as radio theft codes
or the vehicle 's theft deterrent system.
If no other method is available, disconnecting the battery for one minute will clear the codes.
NOTE: Some codes can be cleared on OBD-II equipped vehicles using the Generic area of
the scan tool if specialty equipment is not available.

The next mandatory procedure that MUST be performed is the "Return To Basic Settings"
which is the Throttle Position Sensor and Kickdown relearn settings that both the TCM and
the ECM must have in order to send proper commands for engine and transmission
operation.

The "Return To Basic Settings" MUST be performed if any of the following conditions
exist: 1. Replacement of the ECM.
2.The engine has been changed.
3. Repair or replacement of the throttle housing.
4. Replacement or adjustment of the Throttle Position Sensor.
5. Replacement of the TCM.

Use the following procedure on all VW/AUDI vehicles equipped with 096, 097,098, 01M,
01N or 01P transmissions, to manually reset the "Basic Settings":
1. Turn the ignition "ON", Do not start the engine.
2. Move the gear selector lever to the "D4" position.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there for 30 seconds.
Make certain the carpet or floor mat is not in the way of the pedal.
4. After 30 seconds, move the gear selector lever back to "PARK".
5. Release the accelerator pedal.
6. Turn the ignition "OFF".
7. After completion of the above, drive the vehicle on the road and perform three
individual upshift sequences and kickdown at light, medium and heavy throttle
conditions.
NOTE: The systems will fine tune themselves over the next 50 to 75 miles of driving.
