To obtain the error codes from the Tiptronic ECU with the scantool, you’ll need to add the following to the scantool.cfg file:

[TIP]
address=41
baudRate=4800

Use notepad to add the three lines below the CCU entry. Re-save .cfg file.

Now, when you run scantool, the TIP will be available on the drop down menu. It will interrogate the TIP and report any codes. It will not report actual values, inputs, or drive links .

The codes for the TIP are as follows:

11 – Signal Implausible
13 – Voltage for drive links failed
14 – Voltage for sensors failed
21 – RPM signal from DME failed
22 – Load signal from DME failed
23 – Throttle Pot. Failed
24 – Change of ignition timing
31 – Solenoid valve 1 failed
32 – Solenoid valve 2 failed
33 – Solenoid valve torque converter clutch failed
34 – Pressure regulator failed
35 – Selector lever switch/transmission failed
36 – Transmission speed sensor failed
37 – Transmission temp. sensor failed
38 – Selector lever switch/ transmission partial failure
42,43,44 – Transmission control unit failure
45,46 – Downshift fault in rev limiter
51 – Manual program switch failed
52 – Tip. Switch up and down failed
53 – Kick down switch failed
54 – Transverse accel. Sensor failed
55 – Speed signal 1 from ABS control unit failed
56 – Input to combination instrument failed
57 – Transmission oil cooler blower relay failed
59 – Switch R-position failed
60 – Reverse light relay failed

Very clever. Not seen this before.

Nice post for all the Scantool users.

thanks i will try it this weekend
I do have a question. In the trouble code file the other units have a line such as [M00]

;Motronic trouble codes Do you know what would letter would replace the M where the [M00] is?

mojorizing

That would be [G00]

jimq

thanks again

LouZ

Thanks!

Now the only thing missing is to get a readout of the TIP temperature.

A little off topic but where can you get a 'Scantool'?

Thanks.

I ran the program today and it said no errors. Are there any readouts we can get as far as temp values for when changing the fluid?

stevepaa

Any progress on temp readout?

The scheme is hard coded in Scantool software, and unfortunately all data for the tip is inaccessable.

sorry to dredge up an old thread, but its better than starting a new one...

I have borrow a friends old scantool and using the software I downloaded from Tores site, i am able to connect to my cars ecu.... I can see the motronic, and the heating and cooling controls... but when trying to log onto the tiptronic, i just get the "connecting" symbol...

I am wondering if that is because the connector only has 4 pins and the cars he has used it on were all manuals??

Tore does not have stock of his obd connectors to buy as yet... out of stock...

Saw your post on Pelican also. Limp mode from #21 is indicative of problems with the control unit. Also, indicative because you are not seeing the TIP on the Scantool.

Yes, the Scantool uses only 4 wires from the plug for either manual or TIP.

The control unit is under the driver's seat, and is slightly smaller than the DME. It may be a loose connection so try unplugging it, starting the car, shutting down re plugging and restarting.

hi
thanks for the reply...

I'm not 100% sure it's my ecu just yet.. reason I say, is that I used a generic cable and the durametric software to connect to my tip ecu and that's how I managed to pull the 21 code... but for some reason, the durametric (vers 5) wouldnt connect to me dme and I wanted to see if my engine ecu had any errors..
Tonight I was able to verify that there are no errors on my engine ecu using my friends scantool, but for some reason it wont connect to my tip.. in fact, the 3 or 4 times we have used his scantool, it has never been able to connect to my tip..

Can I ask where you found reference to the #21 error usually being related to an ecu fault? If it is, then I am OK with that.. as I can buy a second hand one (hopefully not also a dud) and all my problems will be fixed (till the next one)...
