Angry

I make shortcut between 9 and 4 pin. ABS blinks me an 84 - VSA sensor neutral pozition memorization.
Looking in to the manual..


Big letters say do not press brake pedal.

I leave a shortcut, turn the key abs light off, i press "vsa off" shortly, then abs light is on, i also press an "vsa off" button. And damn nothig happens... abs begin to blink an error 84 again. WTF is wrong ???
I tryed to make a shortcut between 9 and just ground, but nothing changes...

Thumbs up Fixed!



I have fixed the problem myself without Dealer Scanner!
First of all you need to clear abs errors (that is the main problem why i have failed earlier).

1) Make a shortcut between 4 pin and 9th
2) Press with your foot on the brake pedal and switch on the ignition.
3) Wait for the ABS lamp to turn off and then remove your foot from the brake pedal.
4) Wait for the ABS lamp to turn on and press with your foot on the brake pedal again.
5) ABS lamp should turn off, then remove your foot from the brake pedal.
6) Wait for two flashes of ABS lamp. If it flashes it means that errors are erased.

Check the errors, not removing the shortcut - just turn the ignition on, if ABS lamp do not flashes, so no errors are in memory.

Now the main part.

VSA Neutral position setting

Do not touch the brake pedal anymore.

1) Make a shortcut of 9th pin to chassis (i have used a bolt on a door hinge )
2) Turn the ignition on, after ABS lamp turns off, shortly press the "VSA off" button
3) After ABS lamp turns on again, shortly press the "VSA off" button.
4) Now shoud be a lot of different blinks and fashes and all lamps ABS, VSA and triangle should turn off. The problems solved.
5) Open the beer bottle!

What is the actual cause of the problem? Did the system simply malfunction after you disconnected the Navi? Any other symptoms other than the VSA light being on? It would be nice to retrieve the stored code to know what the system has reported. Good job clearing the code though.

Well really i do not know. After i disconnected the navi+cd changer (HVAC if i remember correctly), i left the car for a while. Than after some time i have started the engine without HVAC unit and there were a triangle. After i drive a car VSA lamp turned on. But i have some thoughts, maybe HVAC (navy+audio unit) remove is just coincidence. Cause a few weeks before my tire take off the front wheel in a big turn, i have broken one wheel. After it, i have driven a few km on a hollow tyre (i just missed that part), after i changed to a spare wheel, i have driven to a garage. I`am not sure if i pressed "VSA OFF" button, but for sure when i have driven to a garage VSA or triangle lamps were not turned on. After this event i have changed four wheels but not tyres and have driven about 100-150 km`s also. I have founded that toe-in is lost, i went to a master who fixed it, and after some time i disconnected HVAC unit....

Hello, Bardissimo: I'm having the same problem, but I'm not sure on what plug I have to make the shorcut. Is it in the OBD plug?
Thanks for the help!!

Hey guys, very happy dude today, I fixed the problem with Baradissimo's steps, I had to do it twice because the first step didn't make good contact, but the second time it worked perfect.

Anyone that has this problem of VSA Reset, just follow these steps and problem solved.
