Reprogramming
Overview – Introduction
The Immobilizer is a theft-deterrent device that adds a layer of security to VWGoA vehicles that include the following brands: Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and VW
. Certain repairs such as replacing emission parts cannot be performed without resetting the immobilizer code for the vehicle. This is done by a technician using the VAS for PC software to synchronize the immobilizer code embedded in the ignition key with other codes resident on parts such as the Transmission Control Module, Engine Control Module, and Instrument Cluster.
Before you can replace an emission part
Whenever you replace an emission-related control module, the immobilizer must be reset using the VAS for PC software. This can only be done if you meet the following requirements:
- You have enrolled into the program (see step 1 - Complete Pass Thru Enrollment Forms)
- You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a Security ID and Password to access the immobilizer application hosted in Germany
- You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a certificate file (e.g. IndepeDeale.30001.300999.pfx)
- You have installed the certificate onto your PC
- You have obtained a J 2534-1 Pass Thru device (see recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices)
- You have performed the steps outlined in VAS for PC Setup
Recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices
Pass thru devices are available for purchase from a recommended Manufacturer for registered workshops to perform Immobilizer functions. The Pass Thru devices that have been tested to work with VAS for PC follow:

Failure to do so may result in the tester powering off during the update, which could result in damage to the control module. The VAS Diagnostics Interface MUST ONLY be connected to the tester with a USB cable. Performing a software update using a Bluetooth or WiFi connection increases the risk of losing connection during the update, which could result in damage to the control module. It also greatly increases the time required to perform the update. Requests for additional time or parts will be denied if the GFF log shows the update was performed using Bluetooth or WiFi. WARNING Radiator Fan(s) may cycle ON high speed during the Update Process! There is a serious risk that personal injury may result if contact is made with spinning fan blades. Keep hands and all objects away from Radiator Fan(s) during Update Process! TIP To Update-Programming using SVM, review and follow instructions in Technical Bulletin 2014603: Software Version Management (SVM) Operating Instructions. The SVM Process must be completed in its entirety so the database receives the update confirmation response. A warranty claim may not be reimbursed if there is no confirmation response to support the claim.

Some modules will take a while to be updated. DO NOT cancel the update procedure, turn the ignition off, remove the battery charger, or interrupt the update procedure in any way. Doing so could cause irreparable damage to control units, which is NOT covered under this action. NOTE If error code ERP0215 occurs: Cause: On at least one control unit, the operating conditions for the measure are not fulfilled (for example, incorrect SW part number/HW part number/hardware/software): Possible Corrections: Manually identify the affected control module(s), or start a new GFF session and repeat SVM 4AE1. Perform a bus sleep or reset the control module, then repeat SVM 4AE1. NOTE If error code ERP0225E occurs: Cause: The measure cannot be carried out because of missing control unit data. Often not all necessary control units are “identified” or “reachable”. Possible Corrections: Make sure all necessary control units are identified according to the software table. If necessary, manually identify the module and repeat SVM 4AE1. If a module cannot be manually identified: switch off ignition > send diagnostic protocol online > disconnect diagnostic interface from vehicle > restart ODIS > remove the fuse for the module that had the failure for 10 seconds > reinstall the fuse > perform a bus sleep > start a NEW GFF session > identify the module > repeat SVM 4AE1. NOTE If a message appears stating that the communication path cannot be changed to DoIP: Send the diagnostic protocol online > cancel the test plan > turn the ignition OFF > disconnect the diagnostic head from the vehicle AND the diagnostic tester for a few minutes > restart ODIS > reconnect diagnostic head to vehicle and diagnostic tester > repeat SVM 4AE1.
