If I understand correctly, this video show pairing new key with car. In your case thief did something wrong during this procedure resulted data lost communication and damage comfort module?
That brings up a bunch more questions! It would seem that Dan is using a hacked key to operate the car (since the physical key doesn't unlock the door). Kind of wish the comfort module programming was at least touched on - but I'm sure there's another video for that.
Excellent demonstration. You're one of the most professional RUclips technicians out there. Not only are you great at diagnosis but your video quality is superb! Keep up the fantastic content.
Dan, how have you only got 140k subscribers??? You are extremely talented, concise, systematic and organized - and deliver it all in an easy to listen and understand way. I hope you and your channel get better recognition. Thank you for what you do.
@@Diagnosedan you don't make a lot of videos but your videos are excellent. I've learned a lot and try to watch every video. I think you're way too advanced for most common DYI mechanics, and unfortunately you're way over the heads of most average mechanics. Or should I say parts changers. After they all give up you are the next step above and beyond.
@Diagnosedan That's probably because most people who are willing to work on their car or do some maintenance aren't informed the way you are. Ik spreek ook Nederlands. Ik ben een originele Tukker en spreek dus ook Twentsch.
That was a really neat diagnosis, Dan! Very logical thought process :) Would be interesting to see the programming process too...please show it next time!
PHAD: one of the software and hardware packages to remove component protection is ODIS and another is Abrites. Both are quite involved and very expensive. The ODIS version gets you into the VAG servers (in Germany). You also have to go through a comprehensive registration and vetting process! I agree, it would be cool to see the CP removed and the CCM matched to the car.
My gawdness this dude is smart. The way he goes about diagnosing issue is time and cost saving. He just doesnt throw parts in a car and hope it fixes the problem. His clients are lucky to have him. He absolutely gained a new subscriber. Cheers mate
That was a tricky one but you are a master in logical thinking. In the end it is easy for anyone to say " of course " but sometimes coming up with a game plan is the hardest part. It all makes sense in the end but I bet that many would get stuck at wanting to make sure that the key was matching the car. Great video Danny. A pleasure to listen and watch.
Thank you very much for the great comment. In the video the diag looks easier than it was. With no comm. you need to come up with a plan to make any progress.
He is not really a mechanic, rather a diagnostic technician. A true mechanic would do oil changes, brake pad changes, air filter changes, spark plug changes, brake fluid changes all day long, and tire rotations twice a year during the seasons, do wheel alignments, deal with rusty bolts and nuts, rusty exhausts, timing belt and timing chain changes, and hardly ever be confronted with serious electronical issues apart from broken light bulbs. Thats why diagnostic technicians have a separate qualification track and a separate name should be used for their profession.
Always, logical, methodical and proves in multiple ways where the problem is. Great stuff. No taking anything for granted or guessing here. Well done. 👍🏼
whatever happened when it was stolen not only kept the person from going very far but also kept the owner from being able to continue using it. Great video and definitely some great troubleshooting!
@@moestrei I sure did. Get the odd call from the shop for advice. Go back to the shop to visit and see some of the jobs and think I don’t miss it. One example is now leaking heater cores on Q5’s , windshield and dash have to come out, warranty pays 18hrs. Yep glad that’s behind me.
WOW! I'm paused from just watching a video on replacing the water pump packing on my 1930 Ford Model A to watching the super advanced world of DiagnoseDan. Much changed for those people in their 90's still with us today.
Still my most favorite auto-diagnostician, Dan. You explain things so well and make it seem like we could do these diagnostics on our own…..which I clearly could not. 😂 keep up the great work, Dan! Lifetime fan, here. I know you have your TSB stuff going on, Dan, but I miss you when you’re gone for so long between videos.
Great job Dan , your so right to split the circuits to check for the faults , your customer will be so happy that you have the expertise to diagnose and fix a problem like this , well done sir 👍👍👍
The customer did the right thing bringing it to YOU 1st so it didn't end up in several dealerships still not running, you're simply amazing Dan. I still remember that BMW issue where the door handle was the problem.
That feeling you get when you've sussed the problem. I'm not even close to your skill level. But diagnostics is a very rewarding job. One of my new favourite YT channels!
Great job,well done. The VW family is too much complex to get a diagnosis,but you make it easy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Happy new year from Brazil.
You have some of the best videos on auto diagnosis on RUclips. They are always well explained even for someone not familiar with the make or model you are working on. Thank you for producing them. Take care.
Hat's off to Dan. Feels like going back to school days. Online learning and complementing it with logical reasoning based on years of experience is absolutely remarkable. Thankyou Dan.
Dan can I just say a massive thank you. I have been watching your Channel for a while now as I'm trying to get my head around and get into the diagnostics side of the automotive trade. Your videos are so informative and easy to follow and your knowledge comes across. Your videos are definetely playing a big part in my learning so thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos. If anyone has any recommendations for training for anyone looking to do diagnostics on cars please fire away thanks. P.S the list of tools I need is ever growing after watching your videos 😂
25+ year MB tech. No idea why your video popped up on my feed but watched it. You use very sound diagnostic steps but this is a perfect example of why I can’t understand why people want to try to fix all makes… Have never sat in a Audi in my life but most high end cars work the same so I was rolling right along with you while you were getting there. An Audi only guy would have gone almost straight to it. God Bless ya’ll for diving into everything but it is so much easier when all you deal with day in and out is one make. Good show.
Hi Emmett, you are right. Working on just one brand is easier. I've worked on Bmw's for 15 years and at one point i had the feeling i'd seen it all, and needed new challenges.
Another great video, Dan. Very informative and interesting. Glad you shared it with us. Once again you solved a difficult situation with your unique ability to logically break things down and explain what's happening so us far less talented folks can understand and learn.
My BMW F11 had the same symptoms as this Audi just a month ago. It turned out it was the Gateway Module itself that was broken in my car. Love these diagnosis videos 👏
I really liked this video. I may have checked that it really was auctioned and not just someone wishing to get a stolen car working. I am sure you did that
Really Nice!!! Did you do a board level inspection of the old module for simple obvious component level failures (water ingress, shorted tantalum caps etc)? I would love to see a module programming/coding.
Unlike many mechanics, you approached this as an electronic tech. Good work. One question remains though: Could the original comfort module be reprogrammed? It might have gone into a default status due to detecting unauthorized use of the car.
If there is no communication how would the old module be reprogrammed? There are non OE solutions to read/write the chip directly but for waranty issues and not knowing the history we choose to go with a new module. If you want to know what i think happend to the car, click on the link in the top comment
I had almost exactly the same thing on a prius that had been attempted to be jumpstarted in reverse polarity. Nothing aparently broken such as fuses and relays hat were easily accessible. I found it surprising that there seemed to be no reverse polarity protection for such events.
Like fr Toyotas are so advanced they don’t even let the cat heat up, instead they’ll just blow a fuse and put the car in limp mode so you don’t mess up your engine. They do a lot of little safety hacks like that so I’m confused why they would allow that to happen
@@MasterProductionsTX What I have found is that there is some voltage/ charging regulator beween the start battery and the hybrid battery that usually goes AWOL in such conditions. As you say though I don't really understand how that is not accounted for since it shouldnt be the most uncommon scenario.
I like your straightforward diagnostic approach. Step one step two step three step four no jumping steps. And your English is easily understandable. Thank you for doing it in English because I wouldn't have understood it in Dutch
Dan is the single reason that I've taken to sorting out some of our tricky problems. I like how he first gains communication with the control modules... Something I've found to be super helpful ( about 50% of the jobs i do i have no communication/dead control modules ). From there you have the ability monitor and fix the issues. Thabks for all the training Dan!!!!
Dan...the newest car I've ever worked on was a 98 Ametican Camry. This stuff is fantastic, optical cable coms(!). I'm wondering..was the fob with the wrong key ever determined to belong to the car?, or did the reprogramming accept the fob, regardless of originality?
@@Diagnosedan its very possible that the metal key does belong to the car. Its very common that those metal keys never get used and fill up with gunk and dont work. Ive had it happen on two cars.
TLDW: The Comfort module is a control module that acts as a second layer of ignition security between other systems that rely on it as a reference. It wouldn't let the ignition circuit complete, so the car appears dead and also unable to communicate with a scan tool. The battery is good, and every interface and power supply probe (and each ground/earth) checked good while the car's main computer tried to communicate with the module. Dan added temporary power to the ignition circuit so the scan tool could finally communicate with the main computer and scan the car for error codes. All the error codes shown referenced no response from the Comfort module, despite it being able to receive a communication signal from the main computer and receive power. So the module is shorted or broken internally. The module is located in the rear right. Dan ordered a new Comfort module and programmed it off-camera. Dan replaced said Comfort module and the car now runs and communicates correctly. How much did the new module cost? Too much!!
I'm sure it's a very expensive part, but remember that the car was bought from an auction, most likely at a huge discount, which probably more than covers for the cost of the module and for Dan's labor.
@@dans_Learning_Curve Ok, but the amount really doesn't mean much. What's a week's pay for some is a bottle of wine for others, in a restaurant... Of course it's an Audi, so parts are overpriced, but who can afford an Audi won't find that extremely expensive.
No wonder the customer was really happy. That's a real nice Audi. From what you showed us in the video it is in great condition. Compared to Volkswagen (2017 Golf) this one was easy. The Golf has all the modules sealed and bomb proofed, ready for the next war. What was amazing about this one, is your easy to follow explanation on the Gateway module. The basic function of the Gateway is well understood, what was not understood is the huge role it plays in passing signals to the diagnose connector (DNC).
Great approach to solve this problem. I had a hint that it could have been the immobilizer module but I had to wait until the end. Again you are GREAT at what you do.. Thanks
I had a clue that something was related to the alarm system but you have to know how things are connected and which modules are doing the job... You are the technical genius while i am eating my cookies at bed while watching this one !!! Great work Dan " diagnose together '' .

That was brilliant! I couldn’t stop watching once I started that video.

@@Diagnosedan can we support you to make more videos somehow? For example on Patreon or PayPal?
I am just a home hobbyist, I don’t own a workshop so a DDTSB subscription is a bit too expensive for me.
