What is the Volkswagen fan channel number?
2 Answers
Volkswagen fan channel number is 060. Below is the relevant introduction: Introduction: Volkswagen AG is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, founded by Ferdinand Porsche on March 28, 1937. Development: The company owns brands such as Audi and Volkswagen. In May 2021, the "2021 Forbes Global 2000" was released, with the Volkswagen Group ranking 17th. Corporate Identity: Volkswagen AG (German: VolksWagenwerk), meaning "people's car," has undergone multiple changes in its logo history. The current Volkswagen logo features the letters VW, which are the initials of its full name.
Once when repairing a Volkswagen, I encountered a fan issue and directly accessed the engine control unit with a diagnostic tool to retrieve data. The channel number for Volkswagen fans varies by situation. For older models, it's typically between 01 and 50. For a 1.2T engine, channel 001 might be used to test the fan signal, while V6 engines commonly use channel 006 or 007 to read radiator status. However, newer models have simplified this, with some allowing direct testing via the radiator control module J293. The key is to use ODIS or 5053 to access the corresponding control unit—entering the wrong channel number might fail to retrieve fan speed data. I prefer to first check the data stream to confirm the fan's actual operating condition before checking for fault codes, to avoid unnecessary work.
