Anti-Theft Component Protection

Anti-Theft Component Protection

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing & information System (VAS5051B)

• Diagnostic Adapter Cable (VAS 5051/5a) or (VAS 5051/6a) or (VAS 5052/3)

When replacing radio navigation system control modules, it is necessary to adapt the replaced control modules to the vehicle. If this is not performed, component protection is activated for these control modules so that they do not work or only on a highly limited basis.

The following radio navigation system components are provided with component protection:

• Front information display control head (J685)

• Information electronics control module 1 (J794)

• Radio (R)

• DVD Changer (R161)

• Digital sound system control module (J525)

Since the component protection works with various control modules, the Guided Fault Finding start menu is not allocated to a control module. It is located directly under the OBD-capable system.

Adapt Control Modules:

In the (VAS5051B) select "Guided Fault Finding".

After Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory of all control modules has been checked:

- Press button "Go to".

- Select "Function/Component Selection".

- Select "Body".

- Select "Electrical Systems".

- Select "01 - OBD-capable systems".

- Select "component protection functions".
