VW Passat Multiple Dash Warning Lights

Рет қаралды 26,346

When the lights on the dash start to flash, you know you have problems. But when you have multiple lights and warnings - you know you are in trouble. Is it just one fault or a series of faults?
This VW Passat has warnings left, right and centre!

Your presentation is very easy going and makes the video very easy to watch, excellent troubleshooting. Highlights the complexity of modern vehicles that may present major issues as the vehicles age.

You are right Colin. It is getting tougher to be a quality technician. I do courses at least once a fortnight, either face to face or online. The complexities of the systems we have to deal with and even software issues can be a real challenge. Thanks for your comment 😁

It's amazing how a lot of those "advanced" functions depend on the humble wheel speed sensors. Good to know that they now detect direction of wheel rotation. That little laugh you gave before tricking the ABS unit by swapping wires around 🤓. Thanks.

The vehicles and technology are getting more and more complex, so we have to be trained to be able to diagnose and repair these advanced systems. Thanks for your comments 😉

Thanks so much for the video. This kind of info can save much heartache and $$. My Jetta just started having all the lights coming on. Could be a broken wire as well. Thought that was a malfunction since the car has been very dependable the past 2 years.

Yes, keep in mind mice. Here is Australia we are constantly battling the little blighters! Follow the testing procedures in the video and you should be able to diagnose the fault. Fault codes will be a real guide.👍

Hi I’ve just bought a 2016 mk7 golf the whole dashboard is lit up it does have one spare tire and in the rear left and also the tire is popped on the left front , I’m hoping it’s something to do with this as I’ve seen this quite frequently on forums , every single light is on , I’m taking quite a gamble but dyu reckon it could be caused by these sensors aswell ?

@shayaanrathore1725 3 ай бұрын

And there isn’t any visible damage to do with any airbags or anything as this car is from an auction and has been verified to be an insurance right off I hope u could help guide me in the right way if it is 🙏

@@MiracleMAXthis happened to me 7 months ago. I changed the old battery and that was gone. Now , first airbag light and then the other lights are om dash. Not only i see lights , central lock system is off , gearbox is gone , steering wheel is heavy and even handbrake is out of use. Now i dont believe the battery is gone again in 7 months.

Generally speaking, an OBD2 scanner will not pick up anything that are not emissions related fault codes. You may need a decent scanner to find the relevant fault codes. What testing have you done so far?

@@Alexis-mk6 You don't need to take it to a dealer, just a reputable workshop. You need proper testing equipment & logically go through a diagnostic process. Aftermarket parts in some cases have been known to cause issues, but you would possibly need an oscilloscope to accurately test it.

Hey Nick, The video shows the wire damaged on the wheel speed sensor loom coming back toward the front of the vehicle. Since this was mice damage, it would be very unusual to find it in the same spot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7t4o9yo0t2ZZqM.html Let us know what you find 😉

Driving home today my Passat B7 said lane assist gone, ABS gone, power steering fault, tyre pressure sensor gone. Car runs perfectly fine and all those systems work, but very worrying seeing 5 or 6 faults appear on the car while you're cruising down the motorway. I'm hoping it's a similar fault because no way are all those systems broken simultaneously and yet still work.
