VCDS - Applications- Section 24-A
The Applications screen contains many handy functions, most of which are described in
individual sections on the following pages.
Check for and erase faults
[Gateway Installation List]
Only available only on Gateways in cars using a direct CAN connection for diagnostics (like
the new A8 and all Golf-5 chassis cars). This very fast function takes about 3 seconds to
query the car's Gateway to find out what modules are installed in the car and what their
status is. Any modules having fault codes should show a "Malfunction" and will be
highlighted in RED. Double-clicking on any of the Control Module names will open that
controller. This function is explained in the AutoScan portion of this manual in Section 3.
[Erase All DTCs]
On vehicles using CAN-Bus for diagnostics, VCDS clears all of the fault codes in all control
modules in the car without accessing all the control modules individually. This function is
explained in the AutoScan portion of this manual in Section 3.
The [eMail today's debug/log files] button will open up your default email client, and will
compose a message to support@Ross-Tech.com with all of the log files and debug files
with the current date.
The [Upload debug/log files] button will open up your default browser to a special page
that allows you upload files and email them to support@Ross-Tech.com even if you do not
have an email client installed.
Use [Done, Go Back] to return to the Main screen.
