VW Passat 2006 3c - Electronic steering lock fault #

Posted by Chris Angus on October 31, 2011, 3:32 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2006

Has anyone any experience with the electronic steering locks on these.
We have an intermitent fault where the dash shows "electronic steering lock defective" so as advised by autologic we replaced the lock and sent the car away. Next day same problem.
Same fault codes.
ecu "P1570 ecu blocked"
imobiliser "module defective"
convenience "module defective"

Clear these faults and it will start up and be ok for a day or so.

Hi Chris,
you don't seem to have the usual suspects there to me, all the Passat column locks we have changed have had the fault "column lock module checksum error".
None of them have had the faults logged relating to the immo & convenience.
How old is the Passat? I believe the earliest 3C models required the convenience module, (where the immo is fitted) & column module replacing with the Column lock, I understood this was due to chassis & part No's on the earlier units ruling out just the column lock as a single replacement. I may be wrong.
I have a file at work with the info on these, if you email me, I'll root it out & email it back to you.
I would try Autologic again on this one as it sounds to me as though you may have an internal convenience/ Immo module fault.

The guys on the VAG desk are brilliant, if you try them again I'm sure they will come up with the goods.

Jon.

I have had to replace both convenience module and ESCL on some early 3C passat's. I also think you will need a new ESCL again now if you replace convenience module.

Hi Chris,
did you get a fix on this one? I have a similar one being brought in on a transporter with the immo codes as well as the ESCL codes.

Cheers,
Jon.

Hi Jon.

Yes new convenience module sorted this.
I suspect the steering lock was ok from the start and just needed the conv module.
If I ever see another I will replace both though.
