After replacing the J197 Level Control Module, software and coding data often mismatch. This requires precise parameterization to restore system functionality.
Common J197 Coding Error Codes
Two common error codes after replacement are:
- B201300: No Basic Setting/Adaptation Performed
- U101300: Control Module Not Coded
Both indicate coding and data matching issues with the new module.
Solution: Parameterization with ODIS S
To resolve these errors, perform online parameterization using ODIS S software. This correctly configures the J197 and matches its data to the vehicle.
Note: This method is only for data matching and cannot be used for retrofit vehicles.
Required Software and Equipment
The following tools were used:
- ODIS S 11
- Autel JVCI These tools are crucial for accurate diagnostics and coding.
Steps for VW J197 Level Control Module Coding
1. Read Fault Codes
Use ODIS S to read fault codes from the J197 control module.
2. Run SVM Function
Activate the SVM function (parameterization) for the vehicle.
3. Transmit Data to VAG Server
Control module data is sent to the VAG server for data matching and validation.
4. Perform Online Login
Log in online with a valid ODIS login.
5. Retrieve Original Code
The VAG server returns the original code for the vehicle.
6. Complete Parameterization Process
The control module data is updated and adapted to the vehicle.
7. Clear Fault Codes
After parameterization, clear the fault codes to complete the process.
Conclusion: Successful J197 Coding
Performing SVM coding after replacing the J197 module is crucial to restore vehicle ride height and other control systems. Using ODIS S software and online login, this process is straightforward.
