Hi,

I've bought the VCDS-Lite software from Ross-Tech and I'm not very satisfied with its performances. In fact, my 'third-party' cable is correct (kkl-409.1) and is made for a VW. When starting the program, it has the correct port (#3) and can detect almost 13 modules when doing a 'Full Scan'. However, only 4 modules have got results and no other modules were detected. Also, when I'm doing a 'select' option and try to go to 'Instruments', for example, I received a message like 'No response from the controller'. I'm getting tired of this. I would like to be able to do some basic coding, adaptations and code faults. My transmission mechanic was able to 'realign and set' my throttle body and EGR valve with its Apollo D8 program. So, what's the heck ? Is it that the VCDS-Lite software is locked on certain actions ? What other product could I have to diagnose my '97EVC wihtout having to break the bank ? Thanks.

Third party cables are notoriously flakey.? Many are 'locked' to a certain, hacked version of VCDS.? There's a warning on the Ross Tech site that any problems are between you and the cable seller.? A real Ross-Tech cable performs flawlessly unless there are wiring/module problems.? I have 2 of them, a serial and a USB version, both ~15-20 years old, and have no problems with older vehicles like ours.? I don't need to use them on the newer cars that use UDS, so haven't upgraded.

Out of curiosity, what are the module addresses?? I can only come up with a list of 8 for a Eurovan, but I may be forgetting some.

The speedometer cluster on 1997 Eurovan is old style, its do not even wired to diagnostic. Newer style speedometer clusters (1999 and newer Eurovan) is wired to OBD2, so those works with VCDS but not older style.?
Your 1997 EVC has only 4 modules total:?
ECM
TCM?
Air Bags?
ABS?
No other modules in that year Eurovan. So, scanning multiple times will not find more modules in your EVC.?
Hope this helps.?
