The coding for the ABS control unit of the new Jetta is 01042. Meaning of the coding: When replacing the ABS pump on a Volkswagen Jetta, the fault code is 01042, indicating the control unit is not coded. Operation guide: Enter 03 brake system, read the fault code as 01042 (control unit not coded), read version information, and the obtained car computer control unit coding is 0000000. Remove the new ABS pump and install the old ABS pump, read version information, and the obtained car computer control unit coding is 0000335. Remove the old ABS pump and install the new ABS pump, select 11 control unit coding. Read the prompt information and click OK to continue. The current control unit coding is 0000000. Input the obtained old control unit coding 0000335. The system prompts that the coding is complete, click OK. Click 'Yes' to clear the fault code. Read the fault code, and now the system has no fault code. The coding is complete, and the ABS warning light on the instrument panel goes off.
After years of car repair experience, I can confirm that the ABS control unit coding for the new Jetta is definitely not a fixed number. This is because each vehicle's coding varies based on production year, engine model (such as 1.4T or 1.6L), and regional configuration. The coding acts like a vehicle's ID card, helping the system identify braking parameters. In our daily shop operations, we use professional tools like ODIS or VCDS to scan the OBD port for reading. The coding usually consists of a 4 to 6-digit alphanumeric combination. DIY coding attempts are not recommended, as entering wrong codes may cause the ABS warning light to stay on constantly, or even lead to brake failure, posing safety risks. If replacing the control unit, the coding must be reprogrammed, typically costing a few hundred yuan, depending on the repair shop. We advise owners to check their VIN and retrieve standard values from the manufacturer's database, or simply visit an authorized 4S shop for service. The ABS is a life-saving system, so regular inspections of wiring and brake fluid are essential to prevent unexpected malfunctions.
