Title: vardef Post by: ddillenger on March 12, 2013, 09:42:59 AM Am I right in assuming VARDEF allows for an additional softcoding variant without throwing the "control module incorrectly coded" DTC?
I ask because I changed VARDEF in an L-box, and noticed anytime I softcoded to a previously good variation (06651) I'd get the above mentioned DTC. With VARDEF @ 06651, no such code.

VARDEF is the default coding that will be set with your new ecu. If you get the DTC then you have wrong coding. For example: you try to change gearbox from 5speed to 6speed. Would be simple to just change one bit, but in reality your bin has to support that. I would guess that setting vardef to incorrect setting would ignore dtc check, but that wouldn't mean that you have correct setting and car is behaving as you expect. Title: Re: vardef Post by: ddillenger on March 13, 2013, 12:56:33 AM Are you sure about that? I ask because it's 6611 in the m-box, and to my knowledge m-box cars all had esp. Doesn't make sense that 0611 would be the default when that would make the coding incorrect out of the box. I figured variant was just that, a variant on the original softcoding.
Thanks! (and I'm not saying you're wrong, just asking for clarification) Title: Re: vardef Post by: terok on March 13, 2013, 06:01:01 AM Might not apply to this case, but on many occasions out-of-the-box coding is incorrect, or zero.
