Special notes about Fault Finding 02E, 6 Speed Direct Shift A/T

Selector lever position display - no "R"
Simultaneous lighting of all segments of Transmission Range (TR) selector lever display indicates transmission in emergency running mode. The vehicle does not drive in reverse.

Tip function inoperable - no normal gear selection





Check lock washers on selector lever cable mounting bracket at top of transmission. Washer - B especially must never be used twice.

This washer can be lost due to a loss of residual stress arrow - points to cable adjustment screw.

Drive faulty - insufficient oil suspected

Only add oil if you have definitely seen: oil is leaking. Under any other circumstances it is just a needless expense that doesn't help.

No faults are stored
Experience shows that often a fault that is attributed to the transmission was caused by other components or units.

It has occurred that poor shifting behavior was a result of insufficient engine air supply.

Do not make mistakes like this.

If such faults are to be eliminated, you can work sensibly with the VW tester.

Faults are stored
First inform yourself of what the faults stored indicate. The VW tester offers the Guided Fault Finding possibility. You can find many causes of faults when the Guided Fault Finding is used correctly.

Transmission-external faults are stored
If, for example, the fault: "ABS signal missing" is stored in the transmission and perhaps another control module also says: "ABS signal missing", you should not continue to suspect the transmission control module is faulty.

The entry simply means: The transmission (and possibly other control modules) is waiting for a signal via the BUS but is not receiving it. In this case, the ABS control module has a problem. Under no circumstances should you remove the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) Mechatronic J743 without stopping to think. In this example, the fault points to problems with the ABS.
