0B5A (S-Tronic) Transmission






Electrical and Electronic Components and Component Locations

Data Link Connector (DLC)





Installation position: The DLC for the vehicle diagnostic tester is inside the footwell on the driver side.

Before servicing the transmission, determine as best as possible, the cause of the fault using the vehicle diagnostic tester in the Guided Fault Finding Vehicle OBD and Test Instruments.

DSG Transmission Mechatronic (J743) , Valves, Sensor and Transmission Input RPM Sensor






Installed location: DSG transmission mechatronic is attached to the transmission housing at the bottom and covered by the transmission fluid pan.

The Mechatronic unit incorporates the hydraulic control, the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the multifunction transmission range switch and the sensors and actuators as a complete synchronized unit.

On Board Diagnostic (OBD) checks all the components named.
