How to resolve Volkswagen U111100 fault code?

First, determine if the issue is due to a clogged air filter core, replacing the air filter core can resolve it. Then check if excessive dust in the evaporator is causing the problem, requiring an air conditioning cleaning. A dirty condenser is also a reason for the air conditioning not cooling properly, simply rinsing it with a water gun during car washing can solve the issue, very simple.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade, and the Volkswagen U111100 fault code is quite common. It's mostly caused by communication errors or unstable module signals. It might occur when the vehicle's ECU module doesn't receive feedback signals from other systems, possibly due to loose wiring harness connections, CAN bus faults, or low battery voltage interrupting communication. Once, I dealt with a car showing this code and found that a main connector had oxidized—simple cleaning fixed it. My advice: first, scan all fault codes with a professional diagnostic tool—don't just look at the surface issue. Then, check the battery status and connectors; voltage below 12.6V can cause trouble. If it's a software issue, visit a dealership for an ECU firmware update. During routine maintenance, inspect the wiring harness under the hood to prevent aging or damage, avoiding minor issues turning into major repairs.
